Explanation:

1. In goal - setting, SMART stands for Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, Time - bound. This is a well - known framework.
2. "Doing well on your next exam" is a poor goal because it lacks specific metrics and measurability. There is no clear definition of what "doing well" means.
3. Without the specific example provided in the question, we assume common sense in goal - setting. If we consider a good exam goal percentage, 90% is a common high - achieving target.
4. A measurable goal has clear criteria for completion. "Complete 30 minutes of studying three times per week" has specific time and frequency metrics.
5. Making a goal "relevant" ensures it aligns with long - term objectives. This helps in maintaining focus and direction.
6. Writing goals down and reviewing them often is essential for truly reaching goals as it helps in keeping them in mind and tracking progress.
