Editor's Notes
- Thomas Edison “I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work.” Parents you can help by being optimistic, reminding your child that no-one ever experiences worthwhile success without failure on the way, and encouraging your child to reflect on what needs to be different in order for the results to looks different: what is within your child’s control?
- Students: remember that your parents want you to be successful: if they did not care they would not be here tonight. So use their concern to help you
- Make a firm revision plan, commit to it publicly and share it with an adult who will help you to stick to it, display it on the fridge door Hand over your games discs to be kept safe until your exams are finished / get your parents to change your Steam password Hand over your phone or leave it charging away from your desk when you start a revision session Prioritise the tricky unpleasant stuff that you don’t want to do: this is actually the most important bit - don’t waste time doing the things you find easy but fun Once you have learned most of the factual material use past papers to test whether you can apply your knowledge: applied knowledge sticks. Use breaks correctly, not too long but reasonably frequently Make the first revision session of the day fairly short, then have a short break, then go back to it for a longer session Manage your caffeine intake, so that you avoid stress and sleep well Make your workplace an appealing place to be: comfortable chair and desk, all the necessary equipment on hand Get an eye test if you haven’t had one recently
