How to improve your marks

Tip #5: Start organising your life

Clutter of any kind inhibits our ability to operate efficiently, so another way of improving your academic performance is to get organised. Keep your workspace tidy and all your notes and textbooks organised in such a way that you know where everything is. Start thinking more about your time management, too, as this will allow you to prioritise your time effectively, freeing time for problem subjects. Write yourself a daily timetable that incorporates your school schedule, dividing your day into slots of time and fitting in plenty of time for studying. Allocate extra time to subjects or topics you’ve identified as being ones you’re struggling with; it could be that the reason for your underperformance in these subjects is that you’re simply not devoting enough time to them.

The death toll in the George building collapse tragedy in the Western Cape has now risen to 20.
Rescue and recovery efforts continue at the site. It’s been nearly a week since the multi storey building under construction imploded.
Thirty-two people are still unaccounted for, while 14 people are still in hospital.
Experts in the construction industry are expected to visit the site of the disaster on Monday.
Public Works and Infrastructure Minister Sihle Zikalala will be part of the delegation visiting the site.
Meanwhile, Police Minister Bheki Cele says SAPS has already made contact with the owner of the property of the collapsed building in George, as well as the developer, contractor and sub-contractor.
Cele visited the site on Sunday and met with family members of those still missing.
At this stage, he says they needed documents to identify the people who worked on the site. He says this would also assist in identifying those who were stilled trapped in the building as well as those who were deceased.
Cele appealed for them to make contact with the families as well, to at least acknowledge what they are going through.
“If the company is not really cooperative, we’ll have the law and the legislation and follow that. But just making a call to those people who have employed these people to just go and have an eye to eye and see the relative, it’s only human. This thing of legal and all that it’s fine, that’s okay…but we are talking about the loss of human life here.”
