#1 Set goals<\/h3>\n
Having clear cut goals dramatically increases the chances of your goals being achieved.\u00a0 Writing them down and pinning them somewhere you can see them daily makes things even better.<\/p>\n
Your own goals when it comes to your academic success will depend on what you want or need to achieve.\u00a0 Perhaps you\u2019re looking ahead to university and know you need to gain three Bs to receive an offer for your preferred course.\u00a0 Maybe you\u2019re sitting GCSEs but already have your eye on the next few years and the route you need to take.\u00a0 Knowing what grades you need to secure to give yourself the best options will help you determine how much work you need to do.<\/p>\n
Be clear on what your goals are when it comes to your results and be honest about where you are now.\u00a0 Think about your own knowledge as well as speaking to your teachers to determine what you may currently be predicted to receive.\u00a0 Knowing what the gap is between your current situation and your predicted and needed results will help you plot a path to ensure that gap is decreased.<\/p>\n

#2 Identify gaps in your knowledge<\/h3>\n
It can be tempting to use the Christmas period as a great opportunity to plough on with some revision.\u00a0 However, revision only works for the information you already know, but perhaps don\u2019t entirely remember or aren\u2019t confident with.\u00a0 You cannot revise something you don\u2019t already know \u2013 which is why it\u2019s essential to take the time to identify any gaps in your knowledge for each subject.<\/p>\n
You can find out all the syllabus information for each course you\u2019re studying, specific to the examining board you\u2019re sitting.\u00a0 This way you will have details of every topic that may come up in the exam.\u00a0 If, as you read through these bullet point lists you find that there are areas you feel clueless with, or have limited knowledge and confidence around, then it\u2019s important you fill those gaps.<\/p>\n

#3 Hire an online tutor<\/h3>\n
No one can be expected to know every single aspect of all the subjects they\u2019re studying at this stage of the academic year; however, if you find that there are gaps in your knowledge six months away from exam season it may be time to consider hiring an online A Level tutor<\/a> or GSCE tutor<\/a>.<\/p>\n Working with a tutor<\/a>, such as a maths tutor<\/a> or a science tutor<\/a>, is a great way to focus on any areas within a subject you may be struggling with.\u00a0 For example, you may feel confident with your biology lessons in science but are stumped by various aspects of Physics.\u00a0 A subject specific specialist who can offer GCSE tuition online<\/a> can be a great support and our range of tutors, including science tutors<\/a>, biology tutors<\/a>, chemistry tutors<\/a> or physics tutors<\/a>, are on hand to help.<\/p>\n Instead of simply going over the content you need to know, they can consider whether there are any gaps in your foundational knowledge.\u00a0 Is there something you\u2019re not quite grasping from earlier in your studies that is impacting your ability to really absorb this new information?\u00a0 The bonus of working with a private online tutor<\/a>, for instance an online maths tutor<\/a> or perhaps a physics and maths tutor<\/a>, is that all sessions are tailored to your individual goals, needs, expectations and learning styles.<\/p>\n Your tutor can also help you to organise your notes and plan your revision effectively moving into the New Year. Not everyone learns the same way or finds it easy to absorb information. Some students do better from reading long form notes, whilst others swear by Post It Notes stuck around their bedrooms. Working with a tutor can help you identify the best methods for you, whilst also hearing about methods you may never have considered. \u00a0Revising is an art form and a skill you need to learn for yourself, which is hard when you feel the pressures of time breathing down your neck.<\/p>\n If you really want to make the most of the Christmas break to enhance your subject knowledge you should consider looking at additional resources.\u00a0 Instead of simply relying on your school text books and class or lecture notes you should look further afield.\u00a0 Take a trip to the library and see what other books you can find that may be able to give you a deeper dive into a specific subject.<\/p>\n You can also make the most of sites such as YouTube where there are lots of videos available, often from other students who share their tips and tricks, as well as demonstrations of specific experiments or calculations.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n If you\u2019re looking for A Level online tuition<\/a>, then it\u2019s worth getting in touch with us.\u00a0 Use our handy search tool to find a tutor that appeals to you \u2013 remember, with online tuition<\/a> location isn\u2019t important.\u00a0 You really can focus on the tutor with the right subject knowledge and teaching style to meet you and your learning approach.\u00a0 Tutors<\/a> are dedicated to helping you identify and achieve your goals and can support you throughout your revision period.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" If you\u2019re currently in Year 11 or your final year of college, chances are the last thing you want to think about at the moment is summer exams.
