Consistency: The Key To Academic Success

    Consistency is essential for academic success. The rationale is that consistency forms the habit that dictate our everyday actions. This habit in turn leads to success. Similar to how young children thrive on consistency and structured routines, students who organise, develop and commit to a fixed study schedule will largely be able to achieve the results they want. 

    With that being said, simply putting in the hours does not produce a productive session. To yield positive results, students must combine consistent habits with effective study strategies. Common methods include tailoring study materials to individual learning styles, keeping distractions away, having a comprehensive set of notes and planning a fixed study schedule. Additionally, students can make the most of their time by using assessment books. 

    How to select the correct assessment books 📚 

    Understand your child’s needs: Instead of buying overly advanced assessment books, consider your child’s academic standards and learning needs to ensure smooth and consistent progress. 

    Choose relevant assessment materials: Some assessment books have basic practice questions to reinforce novel concepts whereas some are step-by-step guides to more complex topics. Others that contain the questions of all the topics learned in the academic year make ideal exam revision materials. Focus on what your child will require at different stages of the academic year and prepare accordingly. 

    Detailed explanations: Some assessment books have full solutions in the answer keys which will help students easily understand the concepts - and how to solve similar questions instead of relying on memorising methods to solve questions, especially in Maths and Science.

Take a look at the first chapter of the book. Scan over the material, reading the first sentence in each topic or paragraph. Check out the notes and the diagrams. Look at the nouns and verbs rather than the extra words. Find the main concepts first. When reading to comprehend, read the text first then go back to take notes. Go over the section and number or list the important ideas. It may be helpful to underline or use a highlighter for important ideas. If you have questions, mark these in the test. That way you can ask your teacher or in class. It is a good idea to find a way to compare your reading, yours notes and any audiovisual or internet materials in order to better underst

Explore A Child’s Learning Potential With Private Tuition

Jackie Wong   M ost people conveniently associate the need for  private tuition  with poor academic results. In actual fact, there are good reasons why outstanding students should engage themselves in tuition sessions as well. While these children have demonstrated their academic excellence through their examination results, relying purely in learning in class can severely limit their learning potential. In a classroom setting, due to the high students to teacher ratio, teachers are often forced to progress the syllabus at a pace that allows breathing space for poorer students to catch up. Such method become a hindrance to quick learners who have understood what they have studied, but see their enthusiasm to advance curbed by the lack of proper guidance. Forced Braking After a prolonged period of slowing down and waiting, students may begin to lose their interest and drive. Their passion for knowledge will slowly dwindle into complacency as they realise they are better than their peers
