Set Goals

Identifying to yourself the things you want to achieve is the fastest way to success Just insure you keep your goals SMART Specific Measurable Attainable Realistic and Timely

Make a Plan

Think ahead and create an effective study plan Last minute cramming will leave you stressed out and under prepared A study plan will help you get organised and make the most of your time giving you the confidence you need to excel

Take Study Breaks

Like your old computer your brain needs time to compute Giving yourself a few minutes to process will help you retain that precious information Itrsquos best if you take a ten minute break for every hour of study Snacks help too

Be Positive

Your attitude is everything if you go into studying thinking your going to fail then you will When you think positively the reward centres in your brain show greater activity thereby making you feel less anxious and more open to new information

Create a Study Routine

Your study routine is comprised of more than planning what to learn and when One of the main concerns is your study environment Find a place to study that is quiet and with few distractions

Try Study Partners

Get to know your classmates and determine who you work well with

Consult Teachers

Any questions you have about the exam ask your teacher Not only will your question be answered but your teacher will see your attitude about good focus in that class

Be Positive

Your attitude is everything if you go into studying thinking your going to fail then you will When you think positively the reward centres in your brain show greater activity thereby making you feel less anxious and more open to new information

Create a Study Routine

Your study routine is comprised of more than planning what to learn and when One of the main concerns is your study environment Find a place to study that is quiet and with few distractions

Try Study Partners

Get to know your classmates and determine who you work well with

Consult Teachers

Any questions you have about the exam ask your teacher Not only will your question be answered but your teacher will see your attitude about good focus in that class

Take Study Breaks

Like your old computer your brain needs time to compute Giving yourself a few minutes to process will help you retain that precious information Itrsquos best if you take a ten minute break for every hour of study Snacks help too

Be Positive

Your attitude is everything if you go into studying thinking your going to fail then you will When you think positively the reward centres in your brain show greater activity thereby making you feel less anxious and more open to new information

Create a Study Routine

Your study routine is comprised of more than planning what to learn and when One of the main concerns is your study environment Find a place to study that is quiet and with few distractions

Try Study Partners

Get to know your classmates and determine who you work well with

Consult Teachers

Any questions you have about the exam ask your teacher Not only will your question be answered but your teacher will see your attitude about good focus in that class

Set Goals

Identifying to yourself the things you want to achieve is the fastest way to success Just insure you keep your goals SMART Specific Measurable Attainable Realistic and Timely

Make a Plan

Think ahead and create an effective study plan Last minute cramming will leave you stressed out and under prepared A study plan will help you get organised and make the most of your time giving you the confidence you need to excel

Take Study Breaks

Like your old computer your brain needs time to compute Giving yourself a few minutes to process will help you retain that precious information Itrsquos best if you take a ten minute break for every hour of study Snacks help too

Be Positive

Your attitude is everything if you go into studying thinking your going to fail then you will When you think positively the reward centres in your brain show greater activity thereby making you feel less anxious and more open to new information

Create a Study Routine

Your study routine is comprised of more than planning what to learn and when One of the main concerns is your study environment Find a place to study that is quiet and with few distractions

Try Study Partners

Get to know your classmates and determine who you work well with

Consult Teachers

Any questions you have about the exam ask your teacher Not only will your question be answered but your teacher will see your attitude about good focus in that class

Set Goals

Identifying to yourself the things you want to achieve is the fastest way to success Just insure you keep your goals SMART Specific Measurable Attainable Realistic and Timely

Make a Plan

Think ahead and create an effective study plan Last minute cramming will leave you stressed out and under prepared A study plan will help you get organised and make the most of your time giving you the confidence you need to excel

Take Study Breaks

Like your old computer your brain needs time to compute Giving yourself a few minutes to process will help you retain that precious information Itrsquos best if you take a ten minute break for every hour of study Snacks help too

Be Positive

Your attitude is everything if you go into studying thinking your going to fail then you will When you think positively the reward centres in your brain show greater activity thereby making you feel less anxious and more open to new information

Create a Study Routine

Your study routine is comprised of more than planning what to learn and when One of the main concerns is your study environment Find a place to study that is quiet and with few distractions

Try Study Partners

Get to know your classmates and determine who you work well with

Consult Teachers

Any questions you have about the exam ask your teacher Not only will your question be answered but your teacher will see your attitude about good focus in that class

Set Goals

Identifying to yourself the things you want to achieve is the fastest way to success Just insure you keep your goals SMART Specific Measurable Attainable Realistic and Timely

Make a Plan

Think ahead and create an effective study plan Last minute cramming will leave you stressed out and under prepared A study plan will help you get organised and make the most of your time giving you the confidence you need to excel

Take Study Breaks

Like your old computer your brain needs time to compute Giving yourself a few minutes to process will help you retain that precious information Itrsquos best if you take a ten minute break for every hour of study Snacks help too

Be Positive

Your attitude is everything if you go into studying thinking your going to fail then you will When you think positively the reward centres in your brain show greater activity thereby making you feel less anxious and more open to new information

Create a Study Routine

Your study routine is comprised of more than planning what to learn and when One of the main concerns is your study environment Find a place to study that is quiet and with few distractions

Try Study Partners

Get to know your classmates and determine who you work well with

Consult Teachers

Any questions you have about the exam ask your teacher Not only will your question be answered but your teacher will see your attitude about good focus in that class

Set Goals

Identifying to yourself the things you want to achieve is the fastest way to success Just insure you keep your goals SMART Specific Measurable Attainable Realistic and Timely

Make a Plan

Think ahead and create an effective study plan Last minute cramming will leave you stressed out and under prepared A study plan will help you get organised and make the most of your time giving you the confidence you need to excel

Take Study Breaks

Like your old computer your brain needs time to compute Giving yourself a few minutes to process will help you retain that precious information Itrsquos best if you take a ten minute break for every hour of study Snacks help too

Be Positive

Your attitude is everything if you go into studying thinking your going to fail then you will When you think positively the reward centres in your brain show greater activity thereby making you feel less anxious and more open to new information

Create a Study Routine

Your study routine is comprised of more than planning what to learn and when One of the main concerns is your study environment Find a place to study that is quiet and with few distractions

Try Study Partners

Get to know your classmates and determine who you work well with

Consult Teachers

Any questions you have about the exam ask your teacher Not only will your question be answered but your teacher will see your attitude about good focus in that class

Like your old computer your brain needs time to compute Giving yourself a few minutes to process will help you retain that precious information Itrsquos best if you take a ten minute break for every hour of study Snacks help too

Be Positive

Your attitude is everything if you go into studying thinking your going to fail then you will When you think positively the reward centres in your brain show greater activity thereby making you feel less anxious and more open to new information

Create a Study Routine

Your study routine is comprised of more than planning what to learn and when One of the main concerns is your study environment Find a place to study that is quiet and with few distractions

Try Study Partners

Get to know your classmates and determine who you work well with

Consult Teachers

Set Goals

Identifying to yourself the things you want to achieve is the fastest way to success Just insure you keep your goals SMART Specific Measurable Attainable Realistic and Timely

Make a Plan

Think ahead and create an effective study plan Last minute cramming will leave you stressed out and under prepared A study plan will help you get organised and make the most of your time giving you the confidence you need to excel

Take Study Breaks

Like your old computer your brain needs time to compute Giving yourself a few minutes to process will help you retain that precious information Itrsquos best if you take a ten minute break for every hour of study Snacks help too

Be Positive

Your attitude is everything if you go into studying thinking your going to fail then you will When you think positively the reward centres in your brain show greater activity thereby making you feel less anxious and more open to new information

Create a Study Routine

Your study routine is comprised of more than planning what to learn and when One of the main concerns is your study environment Find a place to study that is quiet and with few distractions

Try Study Partners

Get to know your classmates and determine who you work well with

Consult Teachers

Any questions you have about the exam ask your teacher Not only will your question be answered but your teacher will see your attitude about good focus in that class

5400 Stephenville NL A2N 2Z6 or fax (709) 643-7959 or email

decision is made to either approve or deny the appeal The Committee will then

contact the student by mail to inform them of the decision

charged

Once a student has successfully opted out the fees will be reversed from their

account This typically takes some time so please be patient

Set Goals

Identifying to yourself the things you want to achieve is the fastest way to success Just insure you keep your goals SMART Specific Measurable Attainable Realistic and Timely

Make a Plan

Think ahead and create an effective study plan Last minute cramming will leave you stressed out and under prepared A study plan will help you get organised and make the most of your time giving you the confidence you need to excel

Take Study Breaks

Like your old computer your brain needs time to compute Giving yourself a few minutes to process will help you retain that precious information Itrsquos best if you take a ten minute break for every hour of study Snacks help too

Be Positive

Your attitude is everything if you go into studying thinking your going to fail then you will When you think positively the reward centres in your brain show greater activity thereby making you feel less anxious and more open to new information

Create a Study Routine

Your study routine is comprised of more than planning what to learn and when One of the main concerns is your study environment Find a place to study that is quiet and with few distractions

Try Study Partners

Get to know your classmates and determine who you work well with

Consult Teachers

Any questions you have about the exam ask your teacher Not only will your question be answered but your teacher will see your attitude about good focus in that class

Take Study Breaks

Like your old computer your brain needs time to compute Giving yourself a few minutes to process will help you retain that precious information Itrsquos best if you take a ten minute break for every hour of study Snacks help too

Be Positive

Your attitude is everything if you go into studying thinking your going to fail then you will When you think positively the reward centres in your brain show greater activity thereby making you feel less anxious and more open to new information

Create a Study Routine

Your study routine is comprised of more than planning what to learn and when One of the main concerns is your study environment Find a place to study that is quiet and with few distractions

Try Study Partners

Get to know your classmates and determine who you work well with

Consult Teachers

Take Study Breaks

Like your old computer your brain needs time to compute Giving yourself a few minutes to process will help you retain that precious information Itrsquos best if you take a ten minute break for every hour of study Snacks help too

Be Positive

Your attitude is everything if you go into studying thinking your going to fail then you will When you think positively the reward centres in your brain show greater activity thereby making you feel less anxious and more open to new information

Create a Study Routine

Your study routine is comprised of more than planning what to learn and when One of the main concerns is your study environment Find a place to study that is quiet and with few distractions

Try Study Partners

Get to know your classmates and determine who you work well with

Consult Teachers

Any questions you have about the exam ask your teacher Not only will your question be answered but your teacher will see your attitude about good focus in that class

Make a Plan

Think ahead and create an effective study plan Last minute cramming will leave you stressed out and under prepared A study plan will help you get organised and make the most of your time giving you the confidence you need to excel

Take Study Breaks

Like your old computer your brain needs time to compute Giving yourself a few minutes to process will help you retain that precious information Itrsquos best if you take a ten minute break for every hour of study Snacks help too

Be Positive

Your attitude is everything if you go into studying thinking your going to fail then you will When you think positively the reward centres in your brain show greater activity thereby making you feel less anxious and more open to new information

Create a Study Routine

Your study routine is comprised of more than planning what to learn and when One of the main concerns is your study environment Find a place to study that is quiet and with few distractions

Try Study Partners

Get to know your classmates and determine who you work well with

Consult Teachers

Any questions you have about the exam ask your teacher Not only will your question be answered but your teacher will see your attitude about good focus in that class

Take Study Breaks

Like your old computer your brain needs time to compute Giving yourself a few minutes to process will help you retain that precious information Itrsquos best if you take a ten minute break for every hour of study Snacks help too

Be Positive

Your attitude is everything if you go into studying thinking your going to fail then you will When you think positively the reward centres in your brain show greater activity thereby making you feel less anxious and more open to new information

Create a Study Routine

Your study routine is comprised of more than planning what to learn and when One of the main concerns is your study environment Find a place to study that is quiet and with few distractions

Try Study Partners

Consult Teachers

Make a Plan

Think ahead and create an effective study plan Last minute cramming will leave you stressed out and under prepared A study plan will help you get organised and make the most of your time giving you the confidence you need to excel

Take Study Breaks

Like your old computer your brain needs time to compute Giving yourself a few minutes to process will help you retain that precious information Itrsquos best if you take a ten minute break for every hour of study Snacks help too

Be Positive

Your attitude is everything if you go into studying thinking your going to fail then you will When you think positively the reward centres in your brain show greater activity thereby making you feel less anxious and more open to new information

Create a Study Routine

Your study routine is comprised of more than planning what to learn and when One of the main concerns is your study environment Find a place to study that is quiet and with few distractions

Try Study Partners

Get to know your classmates and determine who you work well with

Consult Teachers

Any questions you have about the exam ask your teacher Not only will your question be answered but your teacher will see your attitude about good focus in that class

Be Positive

Your attitude is everything if you go into studying thinking your going to fail then you will When you think positively the reward centres in your brain show greater activity thereby making you feel less anxious and more open to new information

Create a Study Routine

Your study routine is comprised of more than planning what to learn and when One of the main concerns is your study environment Find a place to study that is quiet and with few distractions

Try Study Partners

Be Positive

Your attitude is everything if you go into studying thinking your going to fail then you will When you think positively the reward centres in your brain show greater activity thereby making you feel less anxious and more open to new information

Create a Study Routine

Your study routine is comprised of more than planning what to learn and when One of the main concerns is your study environment Find a place to study that is quiet and with few distractions

Try Study Partners

Get to know your classmates and determine who you work well with

Consult Teachers

Any questions you have about the exam ask your teacher Not only will your question be answered but your teacher will see your attitude about good focus in that class

Take Study Breaks

Like your old computer your brain needs time to compute Giving yourself a few minutes to process will help you retain that precious information Itrsquos best if you take a ten minute break for every hour of study Snacks help too

Be Positive

Your attitude is everything if you go into studying thinking your going to fail then you will When you think positively the reward centres in your brain show greater activity thereby making you feel less anxious and more open to new information

Create a Study Routine

Your study routine is comprised of more than planning what to learn and when One of the main concerns is your study environment Find a place to study that is quiet and with few distractions

Try Study Partners

Get to know your classmates and determine who you work well with

Consult Teachers

Set Goals

Identifying to yourself the things you want to achieve is the fastest way to success Just insure you keep your goals SMART Specific Measurable Attainable Realistic and Timely

Make a Plan

Think ahead and create an effective study plan Last minute cramming will leave you stressed out and under prepared A study plan will help you get organised and make the most of your time giving you the confidence you need to excel

Take Study Breaks

Like your old computer your brain needs time to compute Giving yourself a few minutes to process will help you retain that precious information Itrsquos best if you take a ten minute break for every hour of study Snacks help too

Be Positive

Your attitude is everything if you go into studying thinking your going to fail then you will When you think positively the reward centres in your brain show greater activity thereby making you feel less anxious and more open to new information

Create a Study Routine

Your study routine is comprised of more than planning what to learn and when One of the main concerns is your study environment Find a place to study that is quiet and with few distractions

Try Study Partners

Get to know your classmates and determine who you work well with

Consult Teachers

Any questions you have about the exam ask your teacher Not only will your question be answered but your teacher will see your attitude about good focus in that class

Set Goals

Make a Plan

Think ahead and create an effective study plan Last minute cramming will leave you stressed out and under prepared A study plan will help you get organised and make the most of your time giving you the confidence you need to excel

Take Study Breaks

Like your old computer your brain needs time to compute Giving yourself a few minutes to process will help you retain that precious information Itrsquos best if you take a ten minute break for every hour of study Snacks help too

Be Positive

Your attitude is everything if you go into studying thinking your going to fail then you will When you think positively the reward centres in your brain show greater activity thereby making you feel less anxious and more open to new information

Create a Study Routine

Your study routine is comprised of more than planning what to learn and when One of the main concerns is your study environment Find a place to study that is quiet and with few distractions

Try Study Partners

Get to know your classmates and determine who you work well with

Consult Teachers

Any questions you have about the exam ask your teacher Not only will your question be answered but your teacher will see your attitude about good focus in that class

Set Goals

Identifying to yourself the things you want to achieve is the fastest way to success Just insure you keep your goals SMART Specific Measurable Attainable Realistic and Timely

Make a Plan

Think ahead and create an effective study plan Last minute cramming will leave you stressed out and under prepared A study plan will help you get organised and make the most of your time giving you the confidence you need to excel

Take Study Breaks

Like your old computer your brain needs time to compute Giving yourself a few minutes to process will help you retain that precious information Itrsquos best if you take a ten minute break for every hour of study Snacks help too

Be Positive

Your attitude is everything if you go into studying thinking your going to fail then you will When you think positively the reward centres in your brain show greater activity thereby making you feel less anxious and more open to new information

Create a Study Routine

Your study routine is comprised of more than planning what to learn and when One of the main concerns is your study environment Find a place to study that is quiet and with few distractions

Try Study Partners

Get to know your classmates and determine who you work well with

Consult Teachers

Any questions you have about the exam ask your teacher Not only will your question be answered but your teacher will see your attitude about good focus in that class
