I have just completed a degree, and I was thinking that we should have a discussion about how we can do the best that we possibly can when we are in education. I think that the best tip that I can give you is that you should be very organised. If you do this then you can make sure that the work that you get is never a surprise of work that is due in when you haven't done it yet.
What is the best advice that you can give to people who are in education and want to do the best that they can? This can be anything from homework help to revision tips, as long as they are useful and would be of help to people.

My younger brother has allergies, and he has missed a lot of his school time due to the fact that he has had to miss it in order to attend appointments at the hospital, so I would agree with that. I don't drive at the moment so I don't think I will be crashing a car, but I suppose that it is good advice for the people who do drive, particularly because it is mostly students learning to drive who are the ones who will crash because they get so excited about having their own car that they forget about being safe while they're driving.

It is important for a student to realize that their studies are important. However, they also have to realize the fact that there are also other things in life that are important as well. So, when you are planning your day while you are a student, it is not only important to schedule your study time into your day, it is also very important to work on scheduling some time into each and every day to do something that you enjoy as well.

Yes I agree that people do have to learn to be balanced. One of the bad things about when I was doing my exams at school was that I was completely unable to get the balance right between school work and having fun. There would be some months where I would do no school work at all but then go out and have a good time, and then there would be other months where I would do nothing but work which left me very tired and often irritable. If students want to do their best then they have to have a good balance between every aspect of their life.

yes education is very important, and we should definitely follow some tips and rules to be good at it. Revising helps a lot. The student will be ever ready for any sudden exams and also this helps him/her to understand the subject as they are not i hurry. They enjoy while reading. If they are in hurry nothing nothing goes into their mind and they forget easily.

I also think that making enough time for revision is something that is very important. I know that a lot of young people would much rather play things like video games rather than revise and this means that they would just be thinking about when they can next play their game when they're supposed to be revising. You should make sure that the children have specific times to revise every night that are regular as this means that they would get used to it and it would become much more of a habit than a chore.

Thanks a ton for posting this discussion. Well glad that u started this wonderful discussion. i think most importantly we should be disciplined enough so that most of the time we are serious about what we are doing. Just as u said that being organized is very important and i think this quality would stem if we are disciplined and focused towards our studies and work. This will help us achieve any impossible tasks and we can have a successful school life.
What say?

I remember when I was a lot younger and I was trying to revise for my exams, and I just knew that I hadn't done enough. From that moment I decided that I was never going to leave things until the last minute again, because it made me worry through the whole of my exams. Now, whenever I know that I have something to work for, I will always get ready for it well in advance because it means that I know that I am ready and can concentrate on the task in hand instead of having to worry about whether I had done enough or not.

I think that revising right from the beginning is certainly something that I would like to recommend. One of the problems with the people who revise at the end of the year is that they have far too much work to get through and this means that they panic and are not able to get everything done in time. I started revising every night after school when I was doing my A Levels, and it certainly made things a lot easier for me when I was getting nearer to my exams, because I had already seen the material several times.
