Study timetable

For year 11 and 12 students the time has come to begin preparing study timetables in preparation for final examinations. Examinations may seem a long way off but planning and preparing now will give you the best opportunity for success. Setting out a study timetable for each subject allows you to give equal attention to all of the subjects that you study. Look at strengths and weaknesses in each subject and highlight the areas that need most attention. By doing this you can orientate your revision and study program to strengthen your overall knowledge and understanding. Timetables allow time to consult with teachers and fellow students on areas where you need extra help or clarification. Make sure that you include time for practice questions and past examination papers in your schedule. Challenging yourself in this way will also help to expose areas of weakness. Time should also be allocated for reviewing past tests and assignments. Take particular note of where marks have been lost and where you scored well. As International students you need more time for reflection and review. Starting now will allow the best preparation in the lead up to examinations. Once your time-table has been set make sure that you stick to it. Be reasonable about time allocations and set up a checklist so that tasks can be ticked as you complete them. As you move through each task you set, you will feel a real sense of satisfaction and achievement and know that you are preparing yourselves well. Leaving revision and review till the last minute is never successful. Get a head start – start now!
