Study Tips

Schedule time for work but also time to chill

Keep distractions like social media for your break times

Doing a little often is better than last-minute cramming

Find a good quiet place to work

Keep your work environment organised – it helps!

Try to avoid stressful situations

Form a study group with other students so you can motivate each other

Find people who can support you (family, friends, teachers) when you need it

Include important deadlines and study goals. Be realistic about what you can do

Prepare in advance, practise by working through past exam papers
Make sure you turn up on time and have the correct equipment
Use reading time wisely to decide how you will tackle the paper
Read the questions thoroughly and highlight any key points
Plan to keep yourself on track, jot down key points before starting an essay
When you are finished go back through your work to check for errors
Pay attention to the mark scheme, this should help you work out how long you need to spend on each question and how much detail is required.
Try to keep calm, if you hit a difficult patch move on to another question and then return to it later
Keep your work clear and legible
