Setting Goals

Question 2 • HOMEROOM - 2024-25

Which is the best example of a SMART goal?

Answer

I will finish my math homework before dinner.

I will win the poetry contest next month at my school located at 445 E. Maryland Avenue by writing a poem and turning it into my teacher.

I will work on my science project for one hour every day to finish one week early, so that I have time to make any last-minute changes before it is due on September 3.

I will do well on my test this Friday by getting to class early and finding a good seat.

Explanation

A SMART goal is specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound. Choice C gives a clear action—working on the science project for one hour each day—and a measurable target of finishing one week early, with the due date of September 3. The other choices are less complete: for example, “do well” in D is vague and arriving early does not ensure a good test result.
