STUDY TIMETABLE
• So important to plan ahead – have a timetable on your
desk / wardrobe at home so you can visually see what
needs to be done
• Once you make a plan – stick to it. If you say you’re going
to study Maths from 6:30-7pm, then do it. Don’t let
anything get in the way
• Having a study timetable will ensure you have the best
chance of doing well – being unprepared can lead to
wanting to cheat
YOUR OWN TIMETABLE
• Use your own colour coding
• Use highlighters to emphasise importance
• Draw symbols, underline important points
• Make it your own 

LEARNING STYLES….
• Do we all the learn the same way?
• Same goes for study….
• Learn to work ‘smarter’ not ‘harder’
• Who has some ideas for study?
AN INTERESTING FACT
• Music when studying ??
• Research is clear on this: classical music actually
stimulates learning and memory function
• Contemporary music with its lyrics and 100-140
beats per minute actually interferes with learning.
• Meditation Study music to block out noise and help
concentration
• 3 Hour Focus Music: Study Music, Alpha Waves,
Calming Music, Concentration Music

VISUAL LEARNERS
• Visual Leaners:
- These learners respond best to written words, charts, graphs, diagrams,
images and film.
- They remember what they see rather than what they hear
• Study techniques for vidual learners include:
- Writing notes and highlighting them
- Using ‘mind maps’ or flow charts to help memorise content in graphic form
- Writing key words on sticky notes and posting them around the bedroom or
study area
- Reading and re-reading information to store it in long-term memory
AUDITORY LEARNERS
• Auditory Learners:
- Respond best to the spoken word and can follow verbal instructions easily.
- They like to repeat, discuss, and ask questions – this helps to lock information
in to long-term memory.
• Study techniques for auditory learners include:
- Studying in groups to discuss information
- Repeating information aloud to memorise
- Explaining or re-telling information to someone else
- Listening to pod casts or recording information
KINAESTHETIC
LEARNERS
• Kinaesthetic learners:
- Learn best by doing. They enjoy ‘hands on’ learning and are best engaged when they
are physically and emotionally involved in the learning.
- They often take notes, draw pictures or ‘doodle’ while listening; they move around a
lot; find it difficult to sit still for long periods and use their hands when speaking.
• Study techniques include:
- Studying in short blocks of time; having a pencil or koosh ball in hand while studying
- Recording the information and replaying it through headphones while exercising
- Applying class notes to another format – constructing a model, drawing a flowchart
or mind map

ACHIEVING A HAPPY
WORKSPACE
• Don’t do your homework on your bed – it’s for sleeping and you need to stay on task
• Make sure you have enough fresh air flowing through your workspace – it will keep you awake
• Allow for plenty of natural light
• Sit on a comfortable and supportive chair – keep your back upright and don’t slump over your
work
• Avoid distractions like the TV, loud music, mobile phone and social networking when working on a
task
• Think about a filing and storage system for your notes. It’s hard to start work if you can’t find what
you need to make a start.
