the exams
• Receiving and properly making use of feedback is vital for continued success, as is constantly practicing a task or studying a subject.
Practicing should involve constantly improving one’s
approach to the task, even if it means doing the task
fewer times.
• As students learn how to solve problems, they can incorporate that knowledge into other academic areas.
• With a more thorough and complete knowledge base, students can achieve better grades.
Parents should encourage students to seek extra help from instructors or tutors on
difficult work.

Tip #2 Guides
How do you ensure that students’ choices align with their skills and passion? Many young students won’t have a strong idea about which subjects they like best or are most adept at studying. YCIS Shanghai provides students with relevant
guides for a plethora of academic subjects and topics, and challenges students throughout the term to think creatively, analyse deeply and study passionately.
Students—in consultation with family and school guidance personnel—should carefully consider what exams and subjects they wish to take in order to achieve the best outcomes.

Students should be encouraged to be social, treating classmates as
friends instead of competition.
Adopting and maintaining a
confident attitude about students’
capabilities is an essential part of
helping students to stay positive.

Look through the exam paper quickly before answering any questions – this way you will see what kind of questions are on the paper and you won’t get a big shock.
Draw diagrams in pencil as you might want to make changes later.
Remember to check that you are giving the correct units in an answer to a calculation.
