We’ve gathered some easy study tips to help you perform your best on your exams. Plus, we have a special educational technology (edtech) app that can make studying easier and more enjoyable! With Yakili, you’ll have a wealth of resources at your fingertips to support your learning journey.
Start Your Revision Early
Avoiding procrastination is crucial for doing well in exams. Don’t wait until the last minute to start studying. It’s better to begin early so you have enough time to learn everything without feeling rushed. Find a study routine that suits you, whether it’s studying a bit each day or studying more on weekends or in the evening. Find out what works best for you and stick to it.
Create a Study Plan
Create a study plan that works for you. Decide which subjects you need to focus on and how much time you’ll spend on each one. Stick to your plan to make sure you cover everything you need to.
Understand the Exam Format
Familiarize yourself with the GCE O and A Level exam format. Understand the types of questions, marking schemes, and the time allocated for each section. Practice past exam papers to get a real sense of what to expect.
Use Technology to Your Benefit
Take advantage of free online courses, watch how-to videos on YouTube, or learn with Khan Academy — they offer videos on a wide array of subjects, including math, science, and more. Alternatively, try Yakili for personalized assistance. Our app is designed to enhance your study experience, offering a multitude of resources such as:
- class subscriptions,
- homework help,
- and quizzes that allow you to practice with questions from past tests and exams.
We also have a vast library of interactive video lessons. Plus, if you ever have a question or get stuck, you can talk to tutors at any time. Our app features an intelligent AI system that can provide you with instant answers and clear explanations, available 24/7.
Understand, Don’t Memorize
Focus on understanding the concepts behind what you’re learning, instead of just memorizing facts. Our interactive video lessons can make difficult topics easier to understand. If you’re stuck, our AI system can explain tricky ideas with examples.
Test Yourself Regularly
Test yourself regularly by periodically assessing your progress through quizzes and mock exams. Engage in practice papers and questions to test your understanding. Your teachers or tutors will likely be very happy to mark these for you if you ask them nicely. Alternatively, you can take quizzes and practice exams on our app to gauge your performance. This will help you build confidence and identify the areas where you need to concentrate your efforts.
Ask for Help When Needed
Don’t be afraid to ask for help if you need it. Our app has expert tutors available to answer your questions and offer guidance. Connect with them for personalized guidance, or interact with peers who are going through the same experience for support and study tips.
Stay Positive and Motivated
Finally, maintain a positive mindset throughout your preparation. Set realistic goals, celebrate small victories, and remind yourself of your capabilities.
Students, remember that the GCE exams are not just a test of knowledge, but a test of strategy and perseverance. By integrating these study tips with the advanced features of our EdTech app, you are setting yourself up for success.
