4 KEY FACTORS
- Attitude
- Organisation
- Time management
- Balance<br>
13
Attitude You get out what you put in. (Effort = Top Results)
Opportunities for leadership, responsibility and role models for the school (Prefectship, various councils or mentoring systems, involvement in extra-curricular activities) – get involved!
Dress for business – smart uniform – ready to work.
Enthusiasm for your subject and desire to learn without having to be pushed and supervised.
Intellectual curiosity or a desire to find out things and to solve problems using own initiative.
Positive approach: put any difficulties in perspective.
Don’t give up at the first hurdle – manage problems and ask for help when needed.<br>

14
Organisation Work regularly and steadily. Store work/lesson notes materials efficiently and effectively in right order: use of files and dividers. Clearing the physical clutter allows students to clear the mental clutter / barriers to learning.
PUPILS TAKE NOTES – STUDENTS MAKE NOTES.
Make sure you have somewhere suitable where you can work at home (and in school)
Don’t get distracted.
Set personal study goals for each session worked.
Don’t wait to be set work before you do some (reading, research, organising notes etc.)<br>

15
Time Management Minimise stress: keep a regular routine about when you work and for how long.
Minimum 5 hours per A-Level subject per week outside lessons (one hour outside lessons for every one hour of contact time).
Work regularly with short breaks. Move away from your desk. Do not ‘over-work’. This causes stress.
Do not leave things till the last minute. Plan work well ahead.
Plan fun things to look forward to.<br>
