Training Programme
This is your guide to studying efficiently and studying smart to get maximum results.
First things first… Hi!
Welcome to the Simple Honours Study for Success Training Course and welcome to the start of your journey to maximise your grades in tests and exams through tried and tested skills and behaviours.
Our research shows that the most successful students are able to…
Study using the right techniques. They have a clear study framework which is based on a detailed understanding of the exam’s content. They remember what they study through proven techniques, and they understand where they’re vulnerable to making mistakes.
Manage their time effectively. Good time management includes elements such as “knowing how to start studying”, “breaking through self imposed barriers”, “strategic study”, and “managing multiple exams”.
Manage pressure in the exam. They are able to manage their time well in the exam, they learn the art of answering multiple choice questions, the know how to navigate tricky questions, and they review their answers appropriately.
The Simple Honours Study for Success Training Course is an easy to use video series covering all three of these successful study behaviours ensuring you’ve got the skills and techniques needed to ace your exams. The course is designed around three Chapters. Each Chapter has been broken into sections to make it easier to navigate and refer back to key parts as you complete your study.
Chapter #1
Study for Tests and Exams
-
Unlock one of the keys to getting ahead of other students. This section highlights the study behaviour that many students lack and covers the necessary attributes required to succeed.
-
A fundamental part of successful study is learning how to identify the content of an exam and the “important stuff” to study (Goal #1). This section steps through how to achieve this. You will then have the skills to build a core study framework ensuring your study is focused and efficient.
-
Now you have a good study framework, this section sets out the key components required to help you excel in recalling and articulating clear and accurate answers (Goal #2).
-
We’re all vulnerable to making mistakes… and in high pressure tests or exams mistakes inevitably creep in. This section teaches you how to identify and address your vulnerabilities (Goal #3), increasing your accuracy when it counts.
Chapter #2
Time Management
-
Don’t know where to start? This section teaches you the best way to start your study, setting you up for success.
-
Surprisingly, some students limit their success by imposing a unconscious barrier to high marks. This section ensures you break through any self imposed barrier or “grade ceiling” to ensure great marks are possible.
-
Building on the three goals you have mastered from Chapter one, this section springboards your study capabilities by adopting a unique strategic plan.
-
Many students will have multiple exams grouped over the course of a week or so. The planning and scheduling techniques discussed in this section will ensure you can successfully juggle multiple exams and organise your time to perfection.
-
Leading up to the exam can be stressful, but this is no time to lose your cool. This section discusses the key steps and considerations required in the final stages of your exam preparation.
Chapter #3
Exam Management
-
Managing time in an exam.
How to start an exam.
Multiple choice questions.
-
Managing tricky questions.
Don’t waste time.
Keep the marker in mind.
Reviewing your answers.
