Study and Exams

Spring is a time of new beginnings… and exams!

Positive self-care and effective study techniques require practice and reminders. The best learning comes from modelling.

Here are a few tips gleaned from various websites for you and your young person...

  • Work with your teachers – seek feedback, make a time in SWOTVAC to work with your teacher
  • Turn off distractions
  • Map it out - set a realistic study plan
  • Set it up - organise your mind, study space and time
  • Space it out – multiple study sessions rather than cramming
  • Look after mental and physical wellbeing… sleep, eat, socialise and fresh air
  • Have a study buddy
  • Find the study method that works for you
  • Be alert to your child’s cues
