GCSE StudyTips
Effective studying is more important and schools should
assist students with this. Curricula are most of the time so full that teachers
don't get time to address this very important issue.
In the UK students sit for their GCSE's at the age of 16 and
for many students this is the end of their studies. When applying for jobs
their GCSE
results will be the only results they can add to their CV's and obviously
it won't look good if these are all low results. Even those going on to higher
education will need a good mark in English to be considered for a place at a
university or college.
Regular revision is one of the most effective ways to
remember facts. The value of repetition to remember facts can't be argued. If a
student spends just a few minutes each day on revising the work that was done
at school it will already be a great help. Another way is to find one of the
many online revision programs and answer certain question based on the days
work. It might be more fun to use a program and more effective. You can't
pretend that you have studied because you have to answer the questions and you
get the results.
With these programs parents can quickly see where the
problems areas are. The programs are also fun because it includes various games
to motivate the child to answer the question.
Practical subjects such as maths and science require
practice. Formulas and rules must be studied but problem solving needs
practice. Old papers, online maths programs and question sheets are the best
ways to study for maths and science exams.
Understanding is essential for success. If you start early
with your revision it will give you enough time to ask your teacher or tutor to
explain certain concepts again.
