Section 2: Make the Work Your Own
This is a crucial step in the learning process that involves turning passive reading into active engagement with the material.

This section provides strategies for organising your tasks, prioritising your workload, and maintaining a balanced schedule. This section teaches you how to use a variety of time management techniques to help alleviate your anxiety.

Section 5: Before Starting My Exam Answers

This section outlines essential steps to undertake before answering exam questions, ensuring a comprehensive understanding of the question requirements and effective exam preparation. It emphasizes the importance of thorough question analysis, strategic time management, and memory aid utilization.

These principles are used for ALL subjects and ALL exams.

Students find it difficult to study and prepare for exams and often feel overwhelmed in getting started or simply knowing what to study. We take that anxiety away and make it easier for your child to cope and know how to tackle their exams.

This course aims to help students learn some effective study methods, how to break their time down according to what they need to study, and how much time they have. How to prepare themselves prior to an exam and most importantly, what to do during an exam. We also ensure that students understand exam questions by teaching them comprehension test questions techniques.

No matter which subjects your child takes, these principles can be used even when they go to college or university.

This course is facilitated by a qualified Home Education Specialist and Behavioural Specialist.

In our schools, the emphasis is on what students need to learn, whereas little emphasis—if any—is placed on training students on how they should go about learning the content and what skills will promote efficient studying to support robust learning.

That’s where I stand in and help schools and parents! Teaching students how to learn is as important as teaching them content because acquiring both the right learning strategies and background knowledge is important—if not essential—for promoting lifelong learning.

Research has found that students vary widely in what they know about how to learn, according to a team of educational researchers from Australia writing last year in the journal Instructional Science. Most striking, low-achieving students show “substantial deficits” in their awareness of the cognitive and metacognitive strategies that lead to effective learning—suggesting that these students’ struggles may be due in part to a gap in their knowledge about how learning works.

Teaching students good learning strategies would ensure that they know how to acquire new knowledge, which leads to improved learning outcomes!

What causes exam anxiety?

The skills you will find most helpful in managing exam anxiety will depend on what factors may be contributing to this. Exam anxiety may be related to:

• Negative past experiences with exams
• Lack of adequate preparation, or knowledge of exam-taking techniques or study methods
• Unhelpful thinking about the exam situation (e.g., “I’m going to lose control!”), yourself (e.g., “I can’t do this.”), and/or outcome (e.g., “I’m going to fail.”)
• Excessive pressure to achieve and/or perfectionism
• Strong fear of failure
• Poor self-care, including insufficient sleep, unhealthy eating, and lack of exercise, or relaxation.

Taking some time to understand and identify what is contributing to your particular experience of anxiety can help you develop an effective plan to tackle it.
