Why is Education imperative? What is it worth?
Education is the key to a successful career!
What did I do to prepare for my exams.
I worked super, super hard for my GCSE'S! Each morning I would leave home at 7:45am and arrive in school at 8:00am to meet with a teacher to do some maths and science revision. From 8am until 8:45am (when school actually started) we would sit in a classroom and go through my homework and do extra revision. For example, he would write on the whiteboard a list of maths equations for me to do and then ask me to explain how I intend to solve it and so on. After each session was finish (when the school bell rang) I would make my way to my form class or to our year assembly.
As well as that, I would also go to the library during my breaks and (sometime) lunch time to go and print as many pass papers as I possibly could and then answer them when I arrive home. And if you thought that was it, think again. Not only did I do that but I also attended revision classes every Saturday with another math teacher and a group of students. I definitely never regretted this as those Saturday classes were so incredibly useful and was definitely what helped me get an A in math overall. While we were there, we would go through pass papers and answer them individually before discussing the answers and marking it with our maths teacher. On top of that, we would also meet after school every Wednesday for an hour and a half for even more revision.
English on the other hand, was my favourite subject in high school and was definitely one that I didn't mind revising for. I would always write essays at home and bring it in to school the following day to show my English teacher. She was honestly the best English teacher ever, and generally did everything in her power to help me get a good grade. Sometimes she would even arrange appointments in the morning (before school started) where we would meet with her in her office and show her any work we did or discuss with her what we're struggling with. I was determine to take every opportunity I had without failure (even if that meant arriving in school at 7:30am - sometimes earlier) then so be it. At the end of the day the hard work did pay off and I manage to get a B for English overall.
If you're like myself and want to do equally as good (if not, better) then here are some ways to heighten your grade.
- Schedule appointments with your subject teacher to discuss your work.
- Attend revision classes - this is a great opportunity for you to cover the things that will most likely appear in the exam.
- Ask for extra homework
- Create a mind map and write down all the key information
- Work alongside a friend (I found this extremely helpful as myself and my friends would test each other to see what we did and didn't know).
