Study Tip - 1

Well, the first study tip I'll be posting is definitely this, i don't think I've seen this before but it's something I've definitely scored better with.

Know your question paper format and marking schemes

First with question paper format, by that I mean, how your question paper is going to be... Like, how many MCQs? Number of explanatory questions? Total marks for each question and sections etc etc.

Marking scheme basically refer to how you'll gain marks in your answer sheets. Suppose you have a question for let's say, 3 marks. Then you should find out how much you need to write for those 3 marks, if it's three points or half a page etc etc.

Some things that definitely carry extra marks:

Definitions

Diagrams

Graphs/tables (if there are any)

Codings

Additional info like Criticism, Applications, Exceptions etc

Formulae

Examples !!!

I cannot highlight this enough because it shows you how you have to portray and answer each question. The more you write your contents, the higher chance there is to get extra marks

Where can you get your marking schemes and paper formats? The most accurate and precise way would either be your subject teachers or previous question papers or asking your seniors.

So... I'm kinda new here, so hi. What can you find on my blog? Study tips, rants about books, anything quotes and literature and self care tips.

So... Welcome :))

I can't say that I'll be frequent on this, I've created this blog just as a motivation for me to study and get more productive.

A little bit about myself... My name is Isabelle, I'm currently ending my Junior year in highschool. I was homeschooled for two years after the pandemic and this is just like some of the things that I've followed through my middle school and high school journey.

Again, I won't promise to be consistent but I'll try my best! :D
