So far I've talked about Biology and SOR1 (Studies of Religion 1 Unit). Tomorrow I have a 2 Unit Math test to do so I have to do a bit of homework and revision so that I can be confident when taking the test. Believe me, the last thing you want is to be panicking and trying to remember the formula for this and the formula for that because you did it at the start of the year. Been there, done that. I don't want to experience that again, thank you very much.
Later this week, Friday, I've got an English test and have just received my feedback from my teacher today. It's not that it's bad or anything, it's just that I have a lot of ideas and quotes that I've drafted to memorize.
Here are some advice for studying and tests.
- If you get a notification for your test, say 2 weeks, beforehand, don't start panicking straight away! Relax!
- Revise bit by bit, section by section and not in huge chunks because the brain can't comprehend a whole chunk of information on top of what you are already learning in school.
- Study in no longer than 20 - 40 minute sessions. It's not easy to concentrate for that long. If you haven't finished your work in that study session, have another one later!
- Set a few little goals for each study session, for example: First five questions in science booklet and spend 20 minutes on English essay. Doing this will let you do that little bit for each subject, not just one, and you will have the satisfaction of achieving your goals. In saying that, don't make your goals too easy!
- Prioritise your goals. If you need to finish the Science questions tomorrow and the English essay is due the day after, do the Science questions first.
- Have breaks! After your first study session, have a glass of water, go outside or take a walk. This is so that you keep your mind away from work and relax.
Those are just some tips that may help you in your exam blocks or if you're just studying.
Like always, take care and be safe!
