[Pages:1]Pacing Guide

You'll need to complete each semester course in two weeks. Here are tips to help you accomplish that:

Stay on Pace

All semester courses consist of about 16 lessons. When you start a new course, write down your goals, dividing up what you need to accomplish each week. For example:

Week Goal

1

Complete Pretest and Lessons 1?8

2

Complete remaining Lessons and end of Semester Test

Set aside at least 8?10 hours per week for your courses. Earning your high school diploma is within reach if you dedicate time to your studies. Tips:

? Create a "To-Do" list: Make a daily list of lessons you plan to complete. ? Find the right time: Work during the times that you are most alert. If you are a morning person,

set aside time to work in the morning. ? Learn to say "No": Keep your eyes on the prize. Many activities can distract you from your

studies. Choosing your coursework over social activities and distractions will benefit your future. ? Reward yourself: Treat yourself to something special every time you meet your weekly goals.

Create a Productive Study Environment

? Designate a school work area: Make sure you have enough space for your computer, a pen or pencil, and a notepad. If you don't have a desk, the dining room or kitchen table will do.

? Remove any distractions: Stay away from a TV or anything else that could distract you from your coursework. Listening to music does not count as a distraction if it helps you concentrate.

? Comfort: Sit in a comfortable chair, wear comfortable clothes, and make sure you have adequate lighting.

? Hydrate and snack: Keep water and healthy snacks nearby.
