L6 Students Master Study Techniques in Exam Preparation Workshop

Our Lower Six students recently participated in a valuable study skills workshop led by Mrs Edwards, Mrs MacKinnon, and Ms Capewell, with (at the time) just six weeks remaining until their SQA examinations.

The afternoon session focused on essential skills for exam success: time management, planning, and organization. Students created personalised study plans using the SMART technique (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, Time-bound).

The workshop featured hands-on practice with active revision strategies scientifically proven to enhance memory and recall. Students engaged with memory games, flash card activities, playdough modelling of concepts, and interactive quizzes.

These practical techniques aim to help students make the most of their remaining preparation time while developing sustainable study habits for their upcoming examinations.
