Some tips for high school students to achieve their aims


Some tips for high school students to achieve their aims:-
Pursue activities at your interest:
Dont make decisions about extracurricular activities based on what other people think or what might look good on an application. Pick something you find interesting and get involved. Take advantage of the opportunity to form strong relationships with teachers.
Pay attention on language class:
Many college students have opportunities to study abroad that may be partially or wholly subsidized by a university program and language fluency can increase your opportunities to explore different parts of the world. Although language classes might seem abstract or boring, the hard work in high school will be worth it later on.
Think early about college:
Theres no need to agonize over college the moment you enter high school, but it is important to do everything you can to make a good decision. Be sure to think about the aspects that can have a huge impact on your experience, such as size, location, and options for financial aid.
Practice standardized tests regularly:
Check out test preparation books from the library and work on a few practice problems or vocabulary words a night and then take a timed practice test every other Sunday.
Image about a bigger picture:
High school students face a lot of big decisions, and sometimes it feels like you need to have your college major and career path already figured out by senior year. Youll enter a whole new world of people before you know it, so focus less on the social hierarchy of high school and more on getting to know people who interest you  in the end, that will matter much more.
Take care of yourself:
High school can be exhausting, and it will catch up with you if you dont get enough rest. In addition to sleeping enough, eating well and drinking plenty of water can really make a difference.
Ask for advice:
Its amazing how people will open up, so dont hesitate to ask a teacher, parent or older student for some tips. Even a brief question can lead to further discussion, and you might make a connection or form a friendship you wouldnt have otherwise. Recognize that some things just have to be learned the hard way through experience. Ask for advice, think about what other people have to say and ultimately do your best to make the decisions that are right for you.

Functional Fixedness

Functional Fixedness Functional fixedness is a cognitive bias that limits a person to using an object only in the way it is traditionally used. The concept of functional fixedness originated in Gestalt Psychology. Psychology, a movement in psychology that emphasizes holistic processing. Karl Duncker defined functional fixedness as being a "mental block against using an object in a new way that is required to solve a problem." (Duncker, 1945) This "block" limits the ability of an individual to use components given to them to complete a task, as they cannot move past the original purpose of those components. For example, if someone needs a paperweight, but they only have a hammer, they may not see how the hammer can be used as a paperweight. This inability to see a hammer's use as anything other than for pounding nails, is functional fixedness. The person couldn't think to use the hammer in a way other than in its conventional function. When tested...

What you need for successful learning

Intelligence isn’t as important as you think While differences in IQ explain some of the differences in academic success, personality factors such as conscientiousness, curiosity, and humility, account for a similar degree of academic differences. Our society gives a lot of weight to intelligence. Academics may have been arguing for a hundred years over what, exactly, intelligence is, but ‘everyone knows’ what it means to be smart, and who is smart and who is not — right?  Of course, it’s not that simple, and the ins and outs of academic research have much to teach us about the nature of intelligence and its importance, even if they still haven’t got it all totally sorted yet. Today I want to talk about one particular aspect: how important intelligence is in academic success. First of all, to simplify the discussion, let’s start by pretending that intelligence equals “g” and is measured by IQ testing. What's “g”? It stands for “general factor”, and reflects the shared...
