Back to School Top Tips for the GCSE Years from CTG!
Staying on top of school can feel like an endless struggle, but if you follow these 5 tips from our tutors, we promise that academic life can be far less stressful than you think!
Stay Organised: Year 11 is a busy time with various responsibilities, from homework to exams and social events. To manage it all effectively, plan your time wisely. Use tools like your school planner, phone's calendar, or a piece of paper to schedule tasks and deadlines.
Embrace Imperfection:Understand that you won't get everything perfect in every assessment, especially in the Autumn term. Mistakes are a natural part of learning. When something goes wrong, analyse what went wrong, why it happened, and how you can learn from it. Remember, it's all about progress and growth.
Start Revision Early:Begin your revision early to allow ample time for information to solidify in your long-term memory. Incorporate revision into your overall exam preparation strategy, not just for mock exams. Plan your revision schedule and stick to it.
Prioritise Your Well-being:Your physical and mental health are essential, especially during your GCSE years. If you're facing challenges, don't hesitate to talk to someone you trust. Seeking support can make a significant difference. Focus on doing your best and avoid comparing yourself to others. Your journey is unique, be true to yourself.
Planning ahead with tuition support:Booking a tuition plan early provides the advantage of planning ahead for your academic journey. You can create a structured study plan and establish clear goals and objectives for your tutoring sessions. Tutors book up early so this early planning allows you to get support from the best possible person and programme for your needs to help make the most of your tutoring experience. CTG’s tuition courses start from 18th September and places are available to book now.
