The 2023 Basic Education Certificate Examination will soon start. Here are some ways parents can help their wards pass the exams easily.
Every child will have different approaches to learning that work for them, however, there are things that parents can do to help children get the most out of their revision.
- Encourage your child to make a revision timetable and help him or her stick to it.
- Make sure your child has a quiet space to work, with no distractions.
- Find a style of revision that works for your child.
- Encourage a healthy routine of breaks, exercise and balanced meals.
- Lessen distractions and time wasters. Everyone has their own optimal way of studying. For some, noise is a distraction. For others, it’s a necessity. Discuss with your student what would work best for them, and develop an ideal study scenario.
- Setting aside a part of the house where they can study in peace
- Establishing a no-phone studying time (two to three hours) so they can focus better
- Limiting television and/or canceling Netflix or Amazon Prime accounts until after exams
- Have them teach it. “To teach is to learn twice.” This saying is backed up by research that has found that peer teaching in specific, and teaching others in general, improves academic achievement. Ask your student to pretend s/he is the teacher teaching you what they have just learned. It will allow them to review more effectively
