خو رێکخستن بەرەف سەرکەفتنێ

THINK! What will you be doing this time next year? Will you be taking notes in a college lecture? Or will you be training for a job? Either way, you will be trying to organize yourself as efficiently as possible.

But what about right now? I often hear comments like these from Grade 12 students:
‘School is much busier than before.’
‘There’s always too much work to do.’
‘There’s never enough time to relax and have fun!’
Clearly, high school seniors need to organize more efficiently! But how?

SET GOALS- ئارمانجان بدانە

First, set clear goals for yourself. Your main goal might be to get into a good university, for example. Or it could be to develop strong IT skills for work. We’re all different, so you must decide for yourself.

TIP:Choose your goals carefully. If you set too many,
you won’t achieve any!

PLAN YOUR ROUTE!- رێكا خۆ پلان بكه‌!

Now plan your route to your goals. For this, you can make yourself a wall planner and write your work schedules, with homework, revision and test dates. Then check regularly. Make sure you keep to those dates!

TIP:Try using your mobile, too. Use the calendar function to
help you remember important dates.

▼

PLAN EACH DAY!- رۆژانه‌ بۆ خۆ پلانا بدانه‌!

Write a daily ‘to do’ list. List things like ‘Finish project research.’ or ‘Buy notebooks.’ And tick things off when you’ve done them. If you don’t manage everything, maybe your list is too long – or maybe you aren’t trying hard enough to get things done.

TIP: Set priorities. Final revision for tomorrow’s test takes
priority over phoning friends.

▼

BE EFFICIENT!- یێ كاریگه‌ربه‌!

With ‘time wasters’ like too much TV, be strong enough to say no. And don’t put things off. If you leave all your revision till the night before an exam, there’ll be too much to do, and you’ll be too tired to remember much. Finally, try to kill two birds with one stone. Don’t just ride the bus to school: ride and read!

TIP: Organize your things – your desk, your clothes, etc. Then you won’t waste time
looking for a shirt to wear or a pen that works.

▼

ORGANIZE YOUR IDEAS!- هزر و بیرێن خۆ رێك بێخه‌!

When you revise for an exam, try to organize complicated ideas and information clearly. Sometimes you can list problems and solutions, or points ‘for’ and ‘against’. Sometimes, you can use a chart or a diagram like this network.

TIP: Don’t revise all the time: take breaks or you’ll burn out. And the night
before an exam, try to get a good night’s sleep.
