Setting Goals

Question 25 • HOMEROOM - 2024-25

Which is the best example of a SMART goal?

Answer

Ella will read one chapter from the assigned book every day after school for the next ten days so that she will finish the book before the due date.

Theo will create flashcards and use them to study for the mid-term exam in his history class in order to earn an A on the exam.

Zahra will work harder in science class because she wants to get an A on her next progress report.

Noah will show up to algebra class five minutes early each day so he can get a better grade on his next quiz.

Explanation

A SMART goal is specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound. Ella’s goal says exactly what she will do—read one chapter each day—and sets a clear ten-day timeframe tied to finishing the assigned book. The other choices give an outcome but do not clearly define a measurable study or work plan, or do not set a specific timeframe for the action.
