SIMPLE STUDY TIPS Now that We’ve Moved Online
As we are spending a lot more time indoors these days, learning to concentrate and study in your home environment is crucial to your academic success. Here are some things you should have to create your ideal study space.
You feel as though you’re whizzing through your exam, polishing off your introduction to that essay in record speed… yet why does it feel like all your classmates have already flipped a page, onto the next one? Writing slowly can be a disadvantage when it comes to timed exams, so here’s how to optimise your writing speed in any written test, no matter the subject.
It is often said that doing well for HSC, Prelims or any other exams or assessments does not necessarily require you to be naturally intelligent, but rather you must be able to study smart. This means prioritising efficiency, identifying your weak points and working on them. Use these implementable steps these holidays to reach your study goals.
Look, we get it - the mindless Instagram scrolling, the Animal Crossing addictions, the last minute cram to finish an assignment…. Before you know it, you can hear the birds chirping out your window as you realise how royally stuffed up your sleep schedule has become, especially during self-isolation. However, all is not over for you! Here are 6 simple ways to get your sleep back on track and ensure your mind and body are in top condition to study.
We understand this is a difficult time for all, and moving online is quite a transition. Here are some friendly reminders to stay healthy and well at home.
We’re all guilty of getting distracted by our phones. It’s also much easier said than done to lock our phone away so we can concentrate, or to de-activate social media accounts just so you’ll stop scrolling Instagram. But what if your phone can be used as an advantage or a companion to studying? Here are some apps to enable you to do just that.
We understand this is a difficult time for all, and moving online is quite a transition. Here are some friendly reminders to stay healthy and well at home. 🏡🌱
Wash your hands for 20 seconds with soap and water, even if you haven't left your home all day! You can never be too clean or careful.
Refrain from face touching, especially the nose and eyes.
Continue to stay on top of your work. Just because we've moved online doesn't mean you stop working hard to achieve your academic goals. 📚
Take study breaks by standing up from your workspace every hour or so. Consider to:
☕ Grab a drink of water or tea
🗣 Chat with family members
🚶♀️ Walk around your home or backyard
Study better with friends? Set up video chats. Keep getting distracted? Play a YouTube study livestream instead. If you know you're not built for studying with others though, don't be too tempted by these as you'll just get more unproductive. 💻
Set up an at-home workout routine along with a playlist to get you moving! 🎶
Take care to still be eating all your meals a day. 🍽🥢
We wish all our students, parents and community can be healthy, vigilant and well during this time.
