2. Labhair amach os ard! Read out aloud instead of reading into yourself.
3. Make flashcards and stick post-its up with definitions, key points on topics on the fridge, on your mirror, on the walls and even in your wardrobe…places where you regularly go and sit!
4. Give yourself a small treat or a reward when you complete a section, topic or chapter. Try to make things fun!
5.Peer teach, teach each other. Test yourself to see if you understand the information by teaching your friend about it for example, the properties, functions, RDA, sources and deficiencies of Vitamin B.

9. Refrain from using social media Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat or twitter (unless it is to follow @msmillshomeec and for educational purposes! These are distracting when you are studying!
10. Use Youtube to help explain some areas of the course that you find difficult. Youtube can explain the information in a short time frame.
11. Take study breaks every 40 minutes as your focus and concentration is not as effective after long periods of times. You will not absorb the information!
12. Cleachtadh a dhéanann máistreacht– practice, practice, practice! Practicing sample answers to past exam questions can help train your brain to take in information. Designate yourself the allocated time for each question and look at the breakdown of your exam in the previous posts! 6TH years there is a new trial paper available here.
13. Do not pull an all-nighter! Make sure to get enough sleep the nights leading up to your exams.
14. Be positive– you have come so far, be proud of yourselves girls ♥
