It’s never too early to get into good habits – especially when it comes to school.

Continuously solving different questions.
A great place to build and start is experiencing different types of questions and focusing on existing questions when you get home from school. This way, the question is fresh in your mind, and you can easily refer to the questions when it comes to exam season.

Ask for feedback from your teachers
Don’t be afraid to ask for extra feedback from your teachers following a weekly test or exam. If you’re confused about a particular concept or don’t understand how to work something out, asking the teacher is the best way familiarise yourself with the work.
Create your own study session/group!
Study sessions with friends & families are a smart way to start motivating yourself and keep you on track of your study routine.
You can also benefit from teaching your friends & Family about different concepts of solving questions. This will help you to memorise and remember the content longer and better.
Start solving variety of texts in your free time
For students in Year 3 to 5, many students lot their interest if they only looking at one type of textbooks. Try to expose variety types in given time.
This is the best time to develop a regular studying habit and start off with texts which are fun and engaging. Some textbooks we recommend are:

– Selective Exam Packs containing on Reading, Mathematical Reasoning, Thinking Skills
The more you dedicate to study in routine, the more you will grow your improvement on variety questions when you’re on your exams.
