TIME MANAGEMENT AND STUDY TIPS

For many students, a quiet environment is preferred in order to concentrate better.

• Plan a workable time-table and stick to it.
• Decide what needs to be done and do it without compromise.
• Take a break when you feel saturated with facts.
• Minimise social interaction that could disrupt your studies and take up a lot of your time.
• Clarify any doubts that you may have on your understanding of the subjects.
• Group study sessions may be a powerful morale booster.
• Try to explain concepts to others to test your understanding of the subject.
• Memorising facts will not help when application of knowledge is needed.
• Go through past years' exam questions and take note of the trend in the questions.
• Don't mug at the last minute.
• Make short notes while studying

• Treat this as a short-term situation.
• Try not to spend too much time on other activities if you have not been studying since day one.
• If you have been studying real hard, reward yourself with a treat at the end of the exams

• Read the instructions carefully.
• Spend at least 5 minutes reading and understanding the questions. You may want to jot down points to answer each question selected.
• Start with questions you feel most confident with.
• Time yourself - make sure that each question gets sufficient attention and time.
• Write legibly and tidily

• Do not panic; try to adopt a more positive mindset.
• Try again. Chances are that you will do better since you have already gone through the subject once.
• Evaluate your study habits
