Starting back at school or college can be stressful and daunting However, if you start the year right it will make the rest of the year much easier and give you the best chance of excelling. Here are my top 3 tips for going back to school.
1. Get Organised
Make sure you have all the resources that will make your life easier. This includes the basics such as a notebooks and pens, but also highlighters, calculators, flashcards and revision guides. By having these resources ready when you start you are ensuring that you have them there whenever you need them and you minimise the chance of you procrastinating.
When your first test comes up the last thing that you want is an excuse to not get revising today!
2. Print the Specification
This is important if you are in Year 10 through to Year 13 and are preparing for your GCSEs and A-levels. If you are unsure, ask your teacher what your exam board is and then you can find the specification on the exam board website. The importance of this document is it clarifies exactly what you need to know and what will be assessed in your exams.
3. Be Intentional
It is so important that you get intentional with your time. It is so easy to do ‘busy’ work that isn’t actually making an impact on your grade. Now it is the start of the year lets get a fresh start. Any work you do now make it count. Don’t write out the text book out 5 times over the course of the year!
Instead write flash cards as you progress through the course keep these in a safe place and quiz yourself on them on a regular basis.
