The start of a new school year is an exciting starting point, both for you, as a student, and for us, as an academy where we help you achieve your academic goals. At TutorASAP, we understand that success depends not only on what you learn in the classroom, but also on how effectively you prepare and study. That’s why, in this post, we want to present you with some tips that can be very useful at the beginning of the school year, whether you are an IB, IGCSE or A-Level student. Effective study methods that you can apply to get your academic year off to a good start, which will help you maximise your learning, get organised and develop habits that will lead you to success. Let’s get started!
Start by creating a study calendar. Organise your subjects and assign specific times for each one. This planning will help you stay on track.
Find a quiet and comfortable place to study – avoid distractions and create your concentration zone!
When taking notes, summarise them and create outlines or concept maps. This will make it easier to review and understand the information.
Take advantage of the fact that, at the beginning of the course, you have more time available to review what you have learned in class. Creating this review habit strengthens knowledge retention.
Sharing time, notes and information with your classmates can be very beneficial, so don’t hesitate to organise study groups to revise together!
Read actively and underline key ideas as you study. This will help you retain important information for later, when it’s time to study hard for exams. Practice reading comprehensively and critically, but don’t just read…. Analyse and question!
And remember… Don’t leave everything to the last minute! Because proper and timely preparation is key to achieving everything you set out to do at the start of a new course. So, by applying these study methods right from the start, you’ll be on the right track to achieve your goals and realise your full potential. Go for it!
