Set Goals
Identifying to yourself the things you want to achieve is the fastest way to success Just insure you keep your goals SMART Specific Measurable Attainable Realistic and Timely
Make a Plan
Think ahead and create an effective study plan Last minute cramming will leave you stressed out and under prepared A study plan will help you get organised and make the most of your time giving you the confidence you need to excel
Take Study Breaks
Like your old computer your brain needs time to compute Giving yourself a few minutes to process will help you retain that precious information Itrsquos best if you take a ten minute break for every hour of study Snacks help too
Be Positive
Your attitude is everything if you go into studying thinking your going to fail then you will When you think positively the reward centres in your brain show greater activity thereby making you feel less anxious and more open to new information
Create a Study Routine
Your study routine is comprised of more than planning what to learn and when One of the main concerns is your study environment Find a place to study that is quiet and with few distractions
Try Study Partners
Get to know your classmates and determine who you work well with
Consult Teachers
Any questions you have about the exam ask your teacher Not only will your question be answered but your teacher will see your attitude about good focus in that class

Set Goals
Identifying to yourself the things you want to achieve is the fastest way to success Just insure you keep your goals SMART Specific Measurable Attainable Realistic and Timely
Make a Plan
Think ahead and create an effective study plan Last minute cramming will leave you stressed out and under prepared A study plan will help you get organised and make the most of your time giving you the confidence you need to excel
Take Study Breaks
Like your old computer your brain needs time to compute Giving yourself a few minutes to process will help you retain that precious information Itrsquos best if you take a ten minute break for every hour of study Snacks help too
Be Positive
Your attitude is everything if you go into studying thinking your going to fail then you will When you think positively the reward centres in your brain show greater activity thereby making you feel less anxious and more open to new information
Create a Study Routine
Your study routine is comprised of more than planning what to learn and when One of the main concerns is your study environment Find a place to study that is quiet and with few distractions
Try Study Partners
Get to know your classmates and determine who you work well with
Consult Teachers
Any questions you have about the exam ask your teacher Not only will your question be answered but your teacher will see your attitude about good focus in that class

Set Goals
Identifying to yourself the things you want to achieve is the fastest way to success Just insure you keep your goals SMART Specific Measurable Attainable Realistic and Timely
Make a Plan
Think ahead and create an effective study plan Last minute cramming will leave you stressed out and under prepared A study plan will help you get organised and make the most of your time giving you the confidence you need to excel
Take Study Breaks
Like your old computer your brain needs time to compute Giving yourself a few minutes to process will help you retain that precious information Itrsquos best if you take a ten minute break for every hour of study Snacks help too
Be Positive
Your attitude is everything if you go into studying thinking your going to fail then you will When you think positively the reward centres in your brain show greater activity thereby making you feel less anxious and more open to new information
Create a Study Routine
Your study routine is comprised of more than planning what to learn and when One of the main concerns is your study environment Find a place to study that is quiet and with few distractions
Try Study Partners
Get to know your classmates and determine who you work well with
Consult Teachers
Any questions you have about the exam ask your teacher Not only will your question be answered but your teacher will see your attitude about good focus in that class

Think ahead and create an effective study plan Last minute cramming will leave you stressed out and under prepared A study plan will help you get organised and make the most of your time giving you the confidence you need to excel
Take Study Breaks
Like your old computer your brain needs time to compute Giving yourself a few minutes to process will help you retain that precious information Itrsquos best if you take a ten minute break for every hour of study Snacks help too
Be Positive
Your attitude is everything if you go into studying thinking your going to fail then you will When you think positively the reward centres in your brain show greater activity thereby making you feel less anxious and more open to new information
Create a Study Routine
Your study routine is comprised of more than planning what to learn and when One of the main concerns is your study environment Find a place to study that is quiet and with few distractions
Try Study Partners
Get to know your classmates and determine who you work well with
Consult Teachers
Any questions you have about the exam ask your teacher Not only will your question be answered but your teacher will see your attitude about good focus in that class

Set Goals
Identifying to yourself the things you want to achieve is the fastest way to success Just insure you keep your goals SMART Specific Measurable Attainable Realistic and Timely
Make a Plan
Think ahead and create an effective study plan Last minute cramming will leave you stressed out and under prepared A study plan will help you get organised and make the most of your time giving you the confidence you need to excel
Take Study Breaks
Like your old computer your brain needs time to compute Giving yourself a few minutes to process will help you retain that precious information Itrsquos best if you take a ten minute break for every hour of study Snacks help too
Be Positive
Your attitude is everything if you go into studying thinking your going to fail then you will When you think positively the reward centres in your brain show greater activity thereby making you feel less anxious and more open to new information
Create a Study Routine
Your study routine is comprised of more than planning what to learn and when One of the main concerns is your study environment Find a place to study that is quiet and with few distractions
Try Study Partners
Get to know your classmates and determine who you work well with
Consult Teachers
Any questions you have about the exam ask your teacher Not only will your question be answered but your teacher will see your attitude about good focus in that class

Your attitude is everything if you go into studying thinking your going to fail then you will When you think positively the reward centres in your brain show greater activity thereby making you feel less anxious and more open to new information
Create a Study Routine
Your study routine is comprised of more than planning what to learn and when One of the main concerns is your study environment Find a place to study that is quiet and with few distractions
Try Study Partners
Get to know your classmates and determine who you work well with
Consult Teachers
Any questions you have about the exam ask your teacher Not only will your question be answered but your teacher will see your attitude about good focus in that class

Take Study Breaks
Like your old computer your brain needs time to compute Giving yourself a few minutes to process will help you retain that precious information Itrsquos best if you take a ten minute break for every hour of study Snacks help too
Be Positive
Your attitude is everything if you go into studying thinking your going to fail then you will When you think positively the reward centres in your brain show greater activity thereby making you feel less anxious and more open to new information
Create a Study Routine
Your study routine is comprised of more than planning what to learn and when One of the main concerns is your study environment Find a place to study that is quiet and with few distractions
Try Study Partners
Get to know your classmates and determine who you work well with
Consult Teachers
Any questions you have about the exam ask your teacher Not only will your question be answered but your teacher will see your attitude about good focus in that class

decision is made to either approve or deny the appeal The Committee will then
contact the student by mail to inform them of the decision
I opted out but the fees havenrsquot been removed from my account Am I still being
charged

Think ahead and create an effective study plan Last minute cramming will leave you stressed out and under prepared A study plan will help you get organised and make the most of your time giving you the confidence you need to excel
Take Study Breaks
Like your old computer your brain needs time to compute Giving yourself a few minutes to process will help you retain that precious information Itrsquos best if you take a ten minute break for every hour of study Snacks help too
Be Positive
Your attitude is everything if you go into studying thinking your going to fail then you will When you think positively the reward centres in your brain show greater activity thereby making you feel less anxious and more open to new information
Create a Study Routine
Your study routine is comprised of more than planning what to learn and when One of the main concerns is your study environment Find a place to study that is quiet and with few distractions
Try Study Partners
Get to know your classmates and determine who you work well with
Consult Teachers
Any questions you have about the exam ask your teacher Not only will your question be answered but your teacher will see your attitude about good focus in that class
