As we approach exam season, it’s a great time to reflect on effective study habits to help students perform their best. Maths exams not only test knowledge but also how well students can apply skills and think critically under pressure. Here are some key tips to keep in mind:

 

Start Practicing Now: Regularly working through past exercises is one of the best ways to build confidence and reinforce learning. Start with simpler problems to solidify foundational skills, then progress to more challenging questions. Check back on your lesson plans if you have been away and finish any incomplete work.

 

Seek Help When Needed: If there are areas you find difficult, reach out! Often, explaining concepts to someone else or hearing them explained in a new way makes all the difference. There are Maths teachers available at Homework Club and Maths Club on both campuses.

 

Plan Your Study Time: Set aside specific times for maths study and stick to them. Balancing topics and reviewing regularly helps prevent last-minute cramming, which can add unnecessary stress. Pick a specific skill that you would like to master in a realistic time slot.

 

Exam Technique: During practice exams, practice test conditions. Set time limits, avoid distractions, and work through the paper as if it were the real thing. This will help you manage time effectively and get comfortable with the exam format.

 

Good luck to all our students as they prepare! With focused practice, confidence, and support, you’re all set to achieve great results.
