study resources

the burnout is real. here's how to get through things a little easier:

resource	description
khan academy	excellent for step-by-step guides and has practically every subject, as well as SAT prep
crash course	so good at explaining stuff and genuinely enjoyable to watch. great for history/social studies and science
quizlet	excellent ap study resource; you may be able to find the answers to ap classroom assigments here
oceansofpdf, libgen, etc.	most english booklist texts and textbooks can be found online, for convenience's sake!
bernards township library	great place to study, including quiet and collaborative spaces + has a lot of study resources like review books
spark notes/ litcharts	You should actually read the book but with the exception of of Great Expectations, but it is a good resource for a quick summary/analysis right before a scored discussion or timed-write

here are some other tips:

if you're ADD/ADHD or otherwise struggle with deadlines and procrastination, study with someone. body doubling is a great way hold yourself accountable.
break work up into parts and split them up before you start working. what are you doing today? what about tomorrow?
have one place where you keep all school related work/task-lists. this can be google keep, your notes app, notion, or anything you'd prefer to use. but keep it all in one place - it's easier to see it all collectively
most teachers at ridge are happy to help you. don't be afraid to ask them for it
give up every once in a while. submit that assigment late. sometimes something doesn't need to be perfect, it just needs to be done.
burnout isn't always avoidable here; make sure to take a look at dont die (mental health resources)

you're more capable than you think. we believe in you <3
