|
 |
Establish a routine |
|
|
|
|
Set
aside a particular time each day for study and revision and stick to it.
|
|
|
|
|
|
 |
Create a study environment
|
|
|
|
|
This
should be away from interruptions and household noise, such as the
television. Ensure there is adequate lighting and ventilation, a
comfortable chair and appropriate desk. |
|
|
|
|
|
 |
Set a timetable |
|
|
|
|
With a
timetable you can plan to cover all your subjects in an organised way,
allotting the appropriate time for each without becoming overwhelmed.
|
|
|
|
|
|
 |
Look after yourself |
|
|
|
|
Drink
plenty of fluids, especially water, and eat healthy foods. Keep sugary
foods to a minimum. Make sure you get enough sleep each night. Regular
physical exercise makes you feel great, boosts your energy and helps you
relax. So try to keep up regular sporting activities or at least fit in
some regular exercise as often as you can. |
|
|
|
|
|
 |
Reward yourself for studying
|
|
|
|
|
Watch
your favourite television program, spend time with your friends, walk to
the park and play sport throughout the week. |
|
|
|
|
|
 |
Have variety in your study program
|
|
|
|
|
Study
different subjects each day and do different types of work and revision
in each study session. |
|
|
|
|
|
 |
Avoid interrupting your concentration
|
|
|
|
|
Have all
the appropriate materials with you before you start a session of study
to minimise distractions. |
|
|
|
|
|
 |
Test yourself on what you have studied
|
|
|
|
|
Ask your
parents or family members to quiz you on what you have learnt, use draft
questions from books, past assessments or major exam papers.
|
|
|
|
|
|
 |
Don't panic at exam time
|
|
|
|
|
If you
have followed a study routine and have been revising your class work,
there should be no need to worry. Try to keep yourself calm, positive
and confident. |
|
|
|
|
|
 |
Ask your teachers for guidance
|
|
|
|
|
Especially if you're having trouble - whether it's grasping a new
concept or understanding something you learnt earlier in the year. They
will be happy to help. |
