My top 5 study tips
1Remember that your grades do not define who you are as a person. Do not let one bad mark deter you from aiming high, achieving your goals or realising your talent.
2Learn from your mistakes. Take the time to read through your previous essays and the feedback your teachers and mentors have given you, no matter how brutal their comments may seem. More often than not, there are little nuggets of gold in their feedback, which you can then use to implement in your next exam paper.
3Take care of your physical health by nourishing your body with nutritious food and lots of water. It is also important not to downplay the importance of your mental health. Do not suffer in silence. If you are struggling, reach out to someone you trust or utilise services such as Kids Helpline or Headspace.
4Use colour and lots of it! Get a colour coding system going, especially when you are reading through different books and texts.
5Give credit where credit is due! Often students place an overwhelming emphasis on their bad marks and, as a result, overlook their accomplishments. Use your achievements as extra motivation to continue to improve and flourish.
