Activities:

For each of the 8 Principles:

• 1) Time-Management

• 2) Mind-Management

• 3) Study Tools & Techniques

• 4) On-The-Day Performance

• 5) Physical Activity & Movement

• 6) Nutrition & Hydration

• 7) Sleep

• 8) Support Groups.

1. Give each one a score from 1-10 (where 1 is the lowest and 10 is the highest) about how satisfied you are with your ability to perform well at that Principle.

(For example, a 1/10 in Principle 1, Time-Management, means you feel you have no control over your time, always do work last-minute and no idea how to plan, whereas a 10/10 means that you feel very satisfied with your ability to manage your time and follow your plans):

2. Write down 1 action step you can take to improve that score you gave. (e.g. watch Exam Success Academy videos on that area and do the activities, put your phone in a different room before you study, speak to a teacher at school about improving at a subject, go to sleep at a more regular time, etc.)
