VCE News and Key Dates

Tips of the week - To increase productivity and reduce stress in VCE.

• Say it and think it out loud.

Saying out loud what you are learning is proven to help you better retain information. Try speaking to someone at home about what you have learnt that day.

• Sleep is your (best) friend.

Make sure you are getting between 8 and 10 hours of sleep every night. This will allow your brain to move what you have learnt that day from short to long term memory, and function optimally the next day.

• Breaks are good, constant distractions are bad

Once distracted it takes valuable time to refocus your attention. Its best to take temptations like phones out of the equation. If you plan to study for an hour, turn your phone off or leave it with a parent during that dedicated study time.
