How+to+Plan

While there are more than 12 weeks in the school semester, using 12 weeks to plan will keep you on pace and allow ample time to complete your course work. Some of the subjects have as few as 10 lessons/units per semester, others have almost 30. If you follow a reasonable written plan of action, you will succeed 90% of the time.

The first 1-2 weeks of school you may be struggling to adjust - this is normal. After that, a typical plan might include:


 * ~  ||~ 12 weeks - 2.5 periods per week ||
 * ~  ||~ Total of 30 periods to work ||
 * ~  ||~ If 30 lessons to learn/test out of ||
 * ~  ||~ Need to complete one lesson during each block ||

The remaining weeks of the semester should be spent reviewing for the final completion exam. If your notes are up to date, this should not be difficult to do. You should be able to skim the lessons in A+, review your notes, take the exam, and receive a passing grade. You should be aiming for a score of 90% if at all possible. While this may seem crazy at first, the thought process is similar to that of a martial arts instructor I know when having his students break boards: **//"If you believe the board will break, then it will; if you believe it won't, you will also be correct."//** Watching a 40 lb. child break a 3/8" board after 3 weeks of instruction delivers a powerful message.
