Cramming, on the contrary, is the equivalent of suicide! Cramming, or the act of doing a one-time, last-minute intensive revision a few days prior to the exam, is extremely ineffective and imparts a lot of stress to the student. The huge, sudden input of information tends to confuse the brain when it causes information overlap. Plus, in cramming, more time ...

What a relief it is after the hectic rush of examinations. While it may be tempting to slip into a cycle of computer games, television and endless leisure, we would advice that students also find some constructive endeavours to fill their time. In this way, they would not dread starting school in the new academic year, but instead look forward with excitement to put some fresh perspectives or skills into use in school! How ...

Subsequently, the result would often be a D7, or on other luckier occasions a C6? By planning for a Pass on lets say English, we are essentially setting ourselves up for a C6 or lower. The moment that your sights are set on only a pass, you tend to work subconsciously in that direction. -Passing it will do- Lets say for example we have Maths test coming up. We need only 50% to pass it, so lets ...

The national guideline given is for vision rests to be taken after every 30-40mins of reading. If you find it difficult to track your rest periods, just ensure that you look out of your window at the turn of every hour for 5mins. As you rest your eyes, your mind is given an opportunity to consolidate the information it has just received over the past 55mins. You will come ...

The most basic of the requirements is to have a quiet setting. Light background music or faint background noises are fine, but definitely not chattering voices or any mixture of sounds involving lots of words. They not only conflict with your state of concentration but are also affect your ability to take in words in long texts. Make sure that a proper table and chair are available to you. A seated, ...

The strange thing was that he could easily churn out rather complex multiplications and divisions mentally, and in fact much faster than I could! It isnt that i'm so lousy or anything, although being in the army for quite some time does dull the brain a bit. He had no problem with short questions at all.
