With WA2 approaching and the school tests that teachers give, mastering time management is essential for your child’s academic success.

Developing strong time management skills is the key to staying organized, reducing stress, and achieving your child’s goals.

That’s why this article covers how time management will make your child’s revision effective AND how to apply time management during their exams.

Usually, parents and students would just jump straight in and start doing practice papers and consider it as O level revision.

Although that is not completely wrong, there are better ways to do time management for your child’s O level revision session and make it even more productive.

If your child does not know where to start or you are afraid they will do last-minute cramming, having a study schedule is recommended.

Why?

A study schedule will help your child:

• Have organized study sessions systematically
• Prioritize which subject is more important to focus on
• Provide a consistent study routine
• Allocate equal and appropriate time for each subject so nothing is missed out

If you are not sure where to start and how to draft a study schedule for your child, you can use ChatGPT!

Reviewing material and revising regularly means your child focuses on questions they keep getting wrong or on topics that they do not have 100% understanding of yet, promoting effective time management.

This video shows how your child can draft a simple table to track their revision and understanding progress, facilitating time management for both PSLE and O level students.

Through regular revision, your child becomes more familiar with the O level exam format and types of questions.

This enables them to develop effective O level exam strategies, such as prioritizing questions, managing time during the exam, and portioning out how much time to spend on each question.

When your child practices with past year exam papers or other school exam papers, they can simulate exam conditions, enhancing their time management skills.

This will help prepare your child for the real O level exam, and they will know how fast they should complete their paper and portion out how much time to spend on each question, effectively improving their time management.

When the actual exam happens, your child will have reduced anxiety as they know how to manage their time.

Of course, the best people to ask for exam time management tips are your child’s tutors and teachers!

They have the most experience when it comes to O level exams and exam strategy.

They can teach effective study techniques and time-saving strategies, helping your child approach different question types and manage time efficiently in exams.

If your child is unsure about their revision strategy and time management, they can consult teachers and tutors for improvement.
