| 1. |
Be organised – keep a diary with deadlines etc. Do not leave everything until the last minute. |
| 2. |
Take opportunities to discuss your progress with your subject teachers |
| 3. |
Organise your week so there is a balance between school work, leisure, plus paid work if you decide to do this. Paid work should not exceed ten hours. |
| 4. |
Use your non timetabled lessons productively – a guideline is that 75% of them should be used working. |
| 5. |
Set achievable targets when you receive work back and marked. Keep these “up front” for your next piece of work. |
| 6. |
Talk to your form teachers about your progress and aspirations. Keep them informed. |
| 7. |
Work out the best techniques for revision – revision cards, mind maps, etc. Do these throughout the course. Do not leave everything until the last minute. You will not have a great amount of time for revision just before your final exams. |
| 8. |
Punctuality to all lessons and tutorials is vital. Five minutes late per lesson represents about 25 periods lost per subject over a school year. |

Treat each piece of work and anything you read or see from the perspective of how can this be useful to my studies. |
| 10. |
Give as well as take. Remember you a part of the Tring School community – you are not operating by yourself. Take advantages of the opportunities it provides and accept the responsibilities it requires of you. |
