 STUDY TIPS

Find a quiet, comfortable space at home where disruptions

are minimal.
Design a study timetable that is reasonable
DO NOT leave study for the day before.
Ensure you get enough sleep before an exam.

Eat sensibly, have breakfast each morning

Take time away from your study for leisure activities and
relaxation.
Simply reading over notes does not mean you are
learning/studying anything, you must pay careful attention
to the information you are learning. For example,
- Summarise your notes quizzing yourself about them is the
key to remembering them. Reading alone is not enough.
- Use colour or different coloured pens to help you learn.
- Putting boxes around information help you to visualize your
notes. (Simply by putting a frame or box around
information, your brain focuses within the frame)
- Add small diagrams next to concepts or ideas that are hard
to remember.
- Create a mind map using your notes from your workbook.
- Write definitions and a key terms list for each subject and
topic.
- Time yourself writing short and extended responses (longer
answers) to questions.
- Create palm cards with questions on the front and answers
on the back, test yourself or have a family member test you,
or examine a friend.
