Get better marks Part 4:

Pay more attention in class – and ask questions

If you’re prone to daydreaming in class, it’s time to start focusing on the here and now. Listen to what the teacher is saying rather than talking with friends or allowing your mind to wander. Don’t simply copy down what’s on the board without thinking about it; make sure you’ve understood it, make neat notes so that you can understand them when you review them and don’t be afraid to speak up if there’s something you don’t understand or want to clarify. It’s much easier to ask a teacher to explain something differently than to trawl through books trying to find a clearer explanation for yourself.

NOTE: Grade 8 to 11 attend school as per the rotational timetable.

Grade 12s attend every day.
