Practice makes perfect

Lauren Tarrant, 18, who went to Discovery College, says: “Straight after school I would go to Starbucks to study, as I found that I could really focus there without procrastinating. On the weekends, too, I would be in Starbucks for most of the day. However, I would take frequent breaks and found these to be very important for keeping my concentration going.”

Organise your thoughts

Athena said: “I kept most of my notes on Microsoft OneNote, which I could always refer back to and sync between multiple devices. For languages, I would suggest bookmarking key parts and annotating your books as much as possible, and identifying themes and devices. Mind-mapping all the aspects of the text was also very useful to getting a big picture of character relationships, setting, context, and how they all link together.”

“Red pens were my go-to!” says Dicky Lim, 19, who attended South Island School. “I used countless pens for marking my practice past papers, correcting my errors, writing in the margins, and much more. Red ink is especially vibrant which makes it really easy to see.”
