Lose 10kg in 3 Days!!!

Become a millionaire overnight!!!

Really?? I am hopefully wiser now.

Growing up I remember a lot of trying to “cram” a few days before the exams – sometimes I got lucky and it worked out, other times I failed the subject. Lol.

Over the years, I have learnt the real work does not happen just before exams, it happens in class and after class and over time. Ensuring your child understands the concept way before the “exam” is one of the secrets to success. The other secret is practice, practice and more practice.

With examinations around the corner, here are the top ten study tips to help your child excel in their upcoming examinations:

Practice, Practice, Practice

Practice with various worksheets including past exam questions can help train your brain to retrieve information.

Read It Out Aloud

You are 50% more likely to remember something you read out loud instead of reading quietly repeatedly.

Draw Diagrams

Drawing diagrams will help you to visualize information which would be hard to describe. This creates a visual memory in your mind which can be recalled in an exam.

Watch a Documentary on the Topic

Documentaries are an entertaining way of compacting an entire story into a short timeframe. This will help you remember key details from a story.

Study in a Group

Studying in a group can help you collect new insights to enhance your learning experience.

Teach What You Have Learned

The best way to test if you really understand something is to try to teach it to someone else..

Take Regular Study Breaks after 40-45mins of Study

When your brain is working, you need to take regular study breaks to help your brain absorb more information and also to keep you motivated and focused.

Discover New Ways to Learn

Trying new study methods can help you find what really works for you. Use technology to your advantage by watching youtube videos or downloading apps like 9ijakids to play educational games.

Don’t Stay Up All Night Before an Exam

Make sure to get adequate rest the nights leading up to your exams. When you sleep, your brain assimilates the information you have learned when studying.

Start to Prepare Early

At least two weeks before the exam, you should start scheduling regular periods in the evening to study. This way, your kids would be able to cover all the topics and be more confident as the day of the exam approaches.
