'Prioritising' simply    means arranging your work in order of importance.

Have you ever thought:  'I have so much to study, I'm not going to be able to get it all done'?

I'm sure most of us have.

The key is to prioritise your work. Failure to prioritise  is one of the reasons  many people get stressed about exams.

Prioritising your work is critical to your success and to reducing your stress levels.

Here are a few tips on how you can prioritise what you have to do:

Make a list

Every Sunday, write  down everything that you need to do in the  coming week. When you get new homework  during the week, add it to the list.

You can split the list up into homework, study and other activities.

State the amount of time you expect each thing will take. Make sure you include time for travel or research.

Don't try and  keep the list in your head. Write it  down on a piece of paper.

This will help you   see  what needs to be done.

Example

Homework:

Maths - two hours

Science - one hour

Study:

Revision of day's work - one hour per day

Revise digestive system and brain for science exam - two hours

Revise probability for maths exam - one hour

Other Activities:

English  tutorial -1.5 hours

Tennis lesson - two hours

Tea with friends - 1.5 hours

Rank in order of importance

Some things are more important than others because, for example, they are due  before others.

Number things according to their importance, giving the most important things in the list a '1'. That way, you can get the most important or most urgent things done first.

Draw a timetable

Now transfer your list to your daily timetable. Your timetable should include all your activities on it.

Start your timetable from the time you get up in the morning and end it at the time you  go to bed.

Block out the time you are at school, and schedule in study and dinner breaks.

Then schedule in  your homework and study according to priority in the hours that are left.

Reprioritise

As new bits of homework or  revision come up, reprioritise your list  as necessary.

Enjoy your week of learning to prioritise your work.
