How to help your child pass matric

How to help your child pass matric

Date: 2013-10-18
Asmore than half a millionmatrics in South Africa begin their examssoon, the hopes and dreams of our country rest on their shoulders. This is a huge responsibility for many teens who hope to succeed, despite tremendous adversity. 

Yourmatric year is not only about passing but also about enjoying your final year as a carefree student.
So how do we achieve that goal?

Time Management
The only way to have a social life and pass your matric well is tomanage your time effectively.Below are tips to help you get started.

1. Focus for 10 minutes
Take a subject and schedule 10 minutes of study time for it. Remove all distractions and focus on the work for the entire 10 minutes. This helps you to get the ball rolling and you may find that 10 becomes 30 or 60 minutes. This also helps tremendously with subjects that seem difficult and challenging at first.

2. Break up your work
Concentrate on doing small sections of work to the best of your abilities. The first tip amplifies the usefulness of studying smaller sections by increasing your focus. So instead of tackling an entire chapter or module start with a small sub section but do that section to the best of your abilities.

3. Setup and share yourStudy Schedule
Let as many people know about your study times and tasks. This creates a self imposed pressure to get things done and ultimately removes the procrastination that befalls so manymatric students.

4. Rise Early
Getting all your scheduledstudy timein early can give you a greater sense of achievement and freedom to enjoy the other things in your life. This is more important during the weekends and holiday periods,studyingat midnight to catch up on your schedule will not help your concentration and retention.

5. Reward Yourself
Give yourself time away from your studies but only if you deserve it. If you've studied consistently during the week then take a day off to relax with family or friends.Matricis tough and rest periods allow you time to recover and regain motivation to push through, so do not rob yourself enjoy the year.
