Time Management
  • Good time management is crucial to success
  • It helps to avoid work overload students
    should plan ahead and use a diary or weekly
    planner
  • It improves motivation
  • It makes students much more aware of future
    coursework deadlines exam dates that they need
    to work to
  • When done skilfully, it allows them free time to
    socialise and enjoy themselves!!

Time wasters!
Putting If they suddenly find themselves
cleaning their room, things off taking
the dog for a walk, or even doing the washing up
things are serious!

Organising the students surroundings
Where? Make sure they will not be
disturbed They need to be comfortable They need
plenty of space Not in-front of the
TV! When? Are they a morning or night person?
6
Revision Timetable
The secret is planning and time-management. Four
steps to planning a revision timetable
1 On a calendar from now until the end of their
exams, get the students to mark the dates of
their exams. Also include dates when they know
they wont be revising (birthdays, part-time work
etc) 2 The days before each exam are likely to
be taken up with last minute revision. Get the
students to mark these dates off as well. 3 Get
the students to count up the number of days they
have left and allocate them to the number of
exams they have. They nee to remember some
subjects will need more revision than others. 4
The students should divide the work they have for
each exam into topics and decide what topic they
are going to revise on each day. Dont forget
they need to allow time for breaks!
