Staying Motivated for Study
Success begins with you...one piece at a time!
The year is past half way and many students should be thinking about preparing for the end of year exams. Here are a few tips:
- Do something – even if you don’t feel like it!
- Focus on your goals. What do you hope to achieve by the end of the year? How will you feel when exams are over?
- Live in the present. Don’t put off untill tomorrow what you can do today.
- Study with a friend.
- Write checklists and tick them off when you have done each task.
- Stay organised, but don’t confuse organising your work with genuine study.
- Write notes, learn notes and rewrite notes.
- Look at past exams and understand the exam format so there are no surprises in the exam!
- Do as many practice questions that you can get your hands on.
- Have a good attitude towards study. (Yes, you can do it and you can do it well!)
