I start school on Monday and I want to make this the best high school year ever! I'm trying to get the best grades I can possible get, but studying is not one of my favorite things to do. Any advise on studying?

i took geometry last year...and i used the practice questions for my book. Usually the publisher has a website where u can print out extra worksheets and stuff. The challenge questions help you practice the basics plus any tricks the teacher might throw in.

I know it sounds geeky, but read ahead. If you familiarize with the concepts before you walk into your class, you will be able to understand what your teacher is talking about. It will prevent you from feeling lost in class and thinking you will figure it out afterwards because you think everybody else understands. By the way, not everybody understands, they are just to embarrassed to ask questions. If you have a question ask.
Just on a side note, if you ask questions that tells your teacher you are trying to learn this stuff and that you are paying attention. I once did poorly on a exam and because I was so active in class, my teacher did not let the exam hurt my grade. I got an A in that class, instead of a B, which was what my points added up to.

Get a small notebook and put all the theorems you learn into this notebook and carry it with you. It will be a good review. It would also be a good idea to continue doing this into more advanced math classes. This is the practice that was done in my daughters school. She aced honors calculus. Probably, not because of the notebook but it didn't hurt. She said it helped.

Geometry is highly based on postulates (given facts or assumptions). Everytime you learn a new one, it will be used consistently in later problems.
My advice: Once you learn a postulate, try to apply it to as many problems as possible. They are fundamental to learn, and are the basis of all areas of Geometry, so you'll need to understand how to apply it to different situations.
Flash cards are also a good idea.

Sit at the front of the class, and if the teacher says something that you don't understand, ask a question to clarify it IMMEDIATELY! And if you need further clarification, ask the teacher if you can come in after school, or during lunch or whenever to discuss it. Most teachers are thrilled when they have a student who genuinely wants to learn.

Make your own flashcards for each new fact you learn. Then you can study off of them. By writing each flash card yourself, it help reinforce the facts in your head.

Get all of your formulas memorized. Use note cards as study guides.

Yeah, get over it!
There are no EASY quick steps, when it comes to math. Just do your homework and reread it over,if you really want to do well READ AHEAD OF WHERE THE REST OF THE CLASS IS!
