Exam success is determined by 2 categories:
Understanding of concepts
Past papers
If you don't understand a topic of a certain subject: read through your notes again, ask your teacher to re-explain, or get in contact with a prefect (contact details below).
Past papers are crucial when it comes to achieving your academic goals.
Here is a tactic you can employ to make this a reality.
Choose a subject (e.g Maths) & outline the section you are currently working through in class/want to revise (e.g Algebra).
Find the past paper from your grade's previous November exam (e.g November 2022) and identify the question associated with the Algebra section. (each topic will be the same question number (e.g Algebra~ Section A, Question 1) in every year's past paper)
Do that question and mark it with the memo (takes roughly 30 minutes/question).
Redo any questions you get wrong.
Do 2 questions per section during the term by working through older past papers. Do more when you're revising for a test/exam.
If you do this religiously academic success is GUARENTEED.
