TIME MANAGEMENT• Create an efficient working space so that you don’t waste time• Work out when you can study• Create a ‘weekly study planner’. Keep to it and make sure that it
is up to date• Create you own regular priority list• Always make sure that you take time to file and sort out all notes
as soon as possible• Organise your social life. Recognise the importance of studying
for exams at crucial times• Always look for opportunities to catch up on work• Be effective in your reading and note-taking• Don’t waste time by messing around in school, the revision and
work that you do in class is very important for your success.• Use relaxation techniques and have regular breaks to encourage
efficiency
Creating a Study Timetable• Exams are not just about
memory, they are about preparation and about awareness of what is expected of you. Some TIPS for creating your study timetable include
- Reflect first on the best time that you study, is this straight after school or after you have had something to eat
- Consider what subjects need the most study and revision. Estimate how many hours you need for each subject and try to match this with the hours available in your weekly planner. IMPORTANT TO HAVE A BALANCE OF SUBJECTS, DON’T JUST REVISE THE ONES THAT YOU LIKE
Creating a Study Timetable• Use a template to draw up a study timetable. First
block in all the extra-curricular activities and events that you have coming up. This should be an actual timetable that you can follow, it should be achievable
• Then block in study times, 50 min to an hour long sessions with ten minute breaks
• Use different colour for different subjects• Include in your plan not only the subject that you are
going to be studying but how you are going to study it. For example 1 hour of Biology, creating a mind map on cell division. History, timed past paper 1 hour 45 minutes
