“Pretend studying”
Spending time in your room with your books does not equal effective studying!
Copying beautiful notes does not equal effective studying!
Spending all your time on your preferred subject does not equal effective studying!
Rearranging your notes for the 5th time does not equal effective studying!

Speaking from experience …• Don’t make ridiculous study
aims.
• Make quality notes that you understand.
• Study the material you don’t understand and not the material you do – get out of your comfort zone!
![Page 38: Senior Phase Parent Information Evening 2020€¦ · SCQF Level SQA Qualifications Assessment 7 Advanced Higher Exam + coursework Graded A - D 6 Higher Exam + coursework Graded A](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022040401/5e7c5371cc2cdd04f328ff80/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Speaking from experience …• Short, focused study
sessions. Quality rather than quantity.
• Make use of your class time and concentrate on new material your teachers give you.
• If you are finding past papers a bit tricky, do a few with your notes beside you before going on to practise in exam conditions.

You keep £40 a month to spend and save the rest - when would you have to start saving to be able to afford the iphone in July?
