<p>Okay so I'm going to be a junior this year. I will be taking 3 ap classes (apush, ap english, and ap environmental) along with honors physics, gt engineering, gt multimedia, honors college algebra. I know this schedule isn't as challenging as a lot of other peoples on here, but its challenging for me. I play a sport each season and have clubs after school. So on top of all of this, I need to find a way to study for SAT, ACT, and subject tests. I just don't know how it's possible! I really need help with time management and how to balance regular schoolwork, SAT type studying, and a life. Im stressed already thinking about it. Does anyone have suggestions/has been through junior year already?</p>
<p>I’m gonna be a senior this year. Study for the ACT/SAT right now, during summer, while you don’t have school. I did most of my studying last summer and tried picking it up again during the school year, and it was really tough finding time/motivation. Junior year goes by fast, enjoy it :)</p>
<p>I have the same problem too and it can get really stressful. I usually create a schedule to help me see what I need to study and how long I need to study. I usually study for standardized tests during the weekend during school and divide them. For example in the morning I will study for the SAT for 2-3 hours, and in the afternoon, I’ll study for the ACT for 1-2 hours and for the subject test in the evening, for about 2 hours. I usually leave the standardize test for the weekends because I know that I’ll have tons of work during the week which includes clubs and and AP/Honors/Elective classes. Summer study is also a really good option. I’m only taking 2 AP classes and that’s enough for me lol. I can’t really tell you how to organize your schedule because I don’t know how’s you play your life lol. Your AP classes require a lot of writing, so I would spend more time on those.</p>
<p>The main key to time management is willpower. It’s easy to make a schedule or plan to do work as soon as you get it (and not the night before it’s due). It’s hard to stick to your guns.</p>
