Our top tips to excel in Science
Definitions
Many aspects of junior science are content-based and involve specific definitions that are crucial to success. Not being able to recite a definition for a term is a key area where many students go wrong. When preparing for an exam the student needs to write as if someone who had no idea about science could read and understand their answer, hence defining new and complex terms like “gene” or “ion” are crucial in setting a student’s answer up for a good grade.
Writing answers in the NCEA format
Since Level 1 Science is the first year of NCEA for students, many students are unfamiliar with the format of how to write an NCEA answer. Therefore, they may end up underachieving in their exams, compared to their understanding of the topic. Tutoring is super useful here as we are able go through practise papers with them and look at the way they are writing to identify where they are losing marks, and how they could have written the answers better to score an even better grade!
Preparing for an exam
As Level 1 Science is the first year of NCEA and the first “important” exams, a lot of students have no idea what to expect, how to study and how to figure out what they need to know. With tutoring we incorporate the holistic model of learning. This includes teaching students strategies for dealing with stress in an exam and time pressure. It also includes teaching students different study methods and helping them to identify what works best for them and for what they are learning. We can also help them breakdown their strengths and weaknesses so they know what they need to spend more time on.
