Buy a ring binder and ask your teacher to go through
what sections it can be divided up into
Buy a really loud alarm clock!Talk about what you have
learned with your classmates after lessons – it
helps it all sink in
Don’t be put off by the first two weeks – it does get
easier!
Use your study periods to keep on top of your work –
don’t waste itTalk to your teachers for
help – they’re really helpful! Don’t be scared to admit if
you don’t understand something
Get organised from day 1 and don’t forget about
deadlines!The Voice of
hindsight yr 13
