PLANNING OF REVISION TIME
To witness an improvement of say 10 - 15 marks for a maths paper does not occur by chance. A student needs to be systematic in his / her preparation and constant revision is a must.
Remember this golden rule. " COMPLETING YOUR SCHOOL AND TUITION ASSIGNMENT ALONE IS NOT ENOUGH IF YOU HAVE AMBITIONS TO IMPROVE. THESE ARE THE BARE MINIMUM."
Here are tips to improve your Maths.
1. Plan a weekly revision time table for maths. 2 sessions of 45 mins each will be a good start. THESE SESSIONS ARE NOT FOR YOU TO DO YOUR HOMEWORK. Discipline is key. Increase the session by 10 mins each every fortnightly. A maximum of 3 hours a week is sufficient as you do have other commitments to fulfill.
2. Before commencement of each session, map out the revision plan. Example could be :-
a. Revising and familiarizing previous or news topic taught in school. Practicing the topic from your school's textbook and activity book. Figure out the answers to the green boxes in your textbook. These are basic mathemetical concepts one should grasp before being posed with more challenging questions.
b. Drilling of word problem sums taught in school and tuition. Analyse the characteristics of each sums and familiarize yourself with the method and steps to solve them. Practice makes perfect.
c. Challenging yourself with past year exam papers or assessment books. Reacquaint yourself with exam centric questions.
