Term Two is an ideal time for Year 10 IGCSE students to review Term One results and set SMART goals that strengthen study habits and support future pathways like A‑Levels, UCAS, and U.S. college applications. Students should choose 2–3 realistic goals that connect short‑term actions—such as weekly revision or better organisation—with long‑term aims like A‑Level eligibility or building a strong academic profile.

Those considering U.S. universities should also begin planning summer enrichment, including pre‑college programs or volunteering, while keeping an activity log for future applications. Parents can help by guiding reflection without taking over. Effective goal setting now helps students turn feedback into momentum and prepare confidently for future academic choices.
