“The great aim of education is not knowledge but action.”
As the PSLEs draw near, it is time for students to start preparing, and by this, we mean preparation that involves plenty of revision, and going back to the basics to ensure that foundations of individual subjects are firm.
It is definitely going to be a time of tension and stress. Many would-be worried and constantly tired with all the rigorous study routines and revisions. So, what can you as parents do to make it easy for your children and help them with their preparation for their exams? Let us take a look.
Good study atmosphere
Make sure your children have a peaceful and calm area in your house where they can concentrate on their studies. Make sure others do not intrude and disturb them during their study sessions. Keep an eye on their sleep schedule and their meals. Having a balanced diet will help boost their health and keep them from losing time falling sick. Practising meditation and exercising frequently is also shown to improve brain health. All these can help your children learn and remember what they learn better.
Prepare a schedule and keep to it
Don’t wait till one week before the exams to start studying. Start preparing early – from the start of the term would be ideal. If you haven’t done that, don’t worry as there’s still enough time to get everything together. Look at the dates of the exams and prepare a schedule and timetable to study. Make sure you allot enough time for all subjects and order them in such a way they can cover all the important topics.
Help them deal with stress
Ensure that your children have a good learning environment. Allot them space where they are not disturbed by other things happening at home or by any potential visitors. Don’t let anyone interrupt their sessions or distract them in between.
Keep an eye on the children
Although it is advised not to disturb your children, it is best not to leave them alone during the time. Keep an eye on them at times. As stated earlier, students often act carefree during online classes, and there are many things to distract them on their laptops or other gadgets they use to attend the classes. Make sure that your children are attending the classes and paying attention.
Being Accountable
There is a limit to what parents can do to make children learn. Ultimately, it is up to the students to decide whether they are effectively using these facilities.
For students- you must understand the importance of these classes. And how much good it would do to attend to them with proper focus and motivation. You have access to different experts who are capable of clearing your doubts. So, make sure you use this opportunity that is available to you.
Take notes
Take notes and write down any point that you feel is important. Make a detailed note of all the lessons and go through them once the session has ended. Writing by hand has many advantages over just listening to classes or reading pre-made materials. Notes written by hand can help you learn things better and remember them longer.
Constant Evaluation
After each class, take some time and evaluate what you learned. Try to recall the topics and write down any pointers that may require more revision.
Reach out to the teachers – Also, feedback is welcome. 🙂
The contact details of the teachers are available on our website. You can contact them and ask your doubts. You can also request topics to be included in upcoming masterclasses. Feel free to reach out to us regarding any feedback you might have for us. We are always open to hearing your opinions and needs. We hope our masterclasses will be beneficial as a form of introduction for all new students; and a form of revision for all current students.
We wish you all the best! 🙂
