Study Like the Best: 6 Habits Top Students Adopt to improve their grades
A balanced approach to Achieving outstanding grades
Tackle procrastination by Planning study hours in advance
Even the brightest students can feel overwhelmed. Set specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound goals. Tackle them one-by-one, and you will feel more motivated as you achieve each goal.
Prioritise Challenging Topics
Start with the toughest topics, ideally in the morning when your brain is more alert. Print out the syllabus and color-code: red for difficult topics, yellow for those you somewhat understand, and green for strengths.
Use active study & Revision Methods
Active study solidifies new material learned during school and tutoring sessions.
• Answering quiz questions and creating flashcards helps reinforce learning and identifies knowledge gaps.
• Explain concepts aloud and ask family members to test you.
Develop patience & Attention span
• Excessive screen time overstimulates the brain, reduces attention span and impairs memory formation. Take regular breaks from devices.
• Exercise improves attention span and critical thinking skills, particularly in maths and reading.
Read questions carefully!
Book a session to learn how to decode questions, minimise silly mistakes and what commonalities to look for.
sleep 8 hrs - especially the night before an exam
Good sleep hygiene and routine correlate with well-being and academic outcomes. Sleep is when the brain consolidates memory and repairs itself. Lack of sleep impairs decision-making, attention, and retention. Sleep-deprived individuals can experience up to a 40% reduction in their ability to form new memories.
