Goal Setting Worksheet: SMART Goals
Study tip (Check all five letters): S — Specific: names exactly what. M — Measurable: has a number to check. A — Achievable: realistic for you. R — Relevant: linked to your aim. T — Time-bound: has a deadline. Check a goal letter by letter; the one that fails is what to fix. Examples: “Practise fractions more before Friday” misses M; “Learn 20 guitar chords by 30 June” for better maths marks misses R; “Revise all 14 chapters tomorrow evening” misses A.
