Time management is very important for student's performances and achievements. It is a skill that enables students to use their time productively and efficiently. Students who manage their time can finish tasks in less time. Student's time is consumed by a heavy load of school works, habits, and learnings throughout the School Year. Students who cannot plan and manage their time for every activity and task may result in a negative impact on their academic performance.

The selected fifty (50) Grade 12 ABM students in Bestlink College of the Philippines are the participants who answered the survey forms distributed to gather accurate and reliable information. The result shows that time management has an impact on the academic performance of students.
