Most of your day this year is spent at school, so it only makes sense to make the most of those 7-8 hours. In order to do that, a good night’s sleep is absolutely imperative!
I cannot stress enough the importance of getting enough sleep. Sleep experts (yes, there is such a thing!) recommend that teenagers need up to 9-9.5 hours of sleep (on average…?).

How To Organise Your Study Breaks To Improve Concentration
Written on Thursday, February 9th, 2006 by Christian Stephens :: 0 comments to this post
Taking a break from studying is very important. It is usually recommended to take a 10-15 minute break every 45-50 minutes, as concentration diminishes after this time for most people. In the break, it’s a good idea to get some fresh air, go for walk, stretch, or shower etc. Read more about… Study Breaks

How To Use Memory Techniques To Learn More In Less Time With Better Recall
Written on Thursday, February 9th, 2006 by Christian Stephens :: 1 comments to this post
I know there are lots of memory techniques, like mnenomics, acronyms etc. But I never agreed with using them, because to me, even if they work really well, it seemed pointless/ superficial and I found it not very satisfying to learn something just to do well in some exam… And then forget it all a week later.

From a Fail to an A+ in 1 Semester
Written on Thursday, February 9th, 2006 by Christian Stephens :: 1 comments to this post
OK, I know that’s a big claim but let me tell you how I did it…
I failed the mid-year chemistry exam in year 1 but at the end of the year, I was top of my class with an A+. How?
Firstly, instead of saying, ‘I’m no good at chemistry, why bother, may as well drop it all together,’ like many others, I was determined to change! I made myself believe I could do very well and I didn’t let myself have any doubts. If you have that vision of yourself succeeding you tend do whatever it takes to achieve it. So for the 2nd semester I paid attention in class, did all the homework, always asked my teacher when I didn’t understand something, went to a revision lecture, did practice exams etc… and it paid off!
