Holidays offer a valuable opportunity to consolidate learning, catch up on challenging topics, or get ahead. It can significantly reduce stress during term time and prepare you better for upcoming exams, Internal Assessments (IAs), and Extended Essays (EEs).

Start by reviewing any study goals you set at the beginning of the break. Tick off what you've accomplished, then critically evaluate remaining goals. Ask yourself if you're on track and if anything needs adjusting. This helps create a realistic and achievable plan for the rest of the holidays.

It's perfectly fine to adjust your plan! Your study plan is a tool to help you, not a rigid rule. Re-evaluate your remaining time and tasks, and don't hesitate to modify your schedule or priorities to make it more effective and manageable. Flexibility is key to sustainable study.

A tidy, well-lit, and quiet space is crucial. Take 10-15 minutes to declutter, organise notes, and ensure good lighting, especially during darker seasons. If family is around, try to find a space where you can close the door and use a "do not disturb" sign to minimise interruptions.

Use this time to go back to basics. Review your subject syllabuses to identify all required content. Prioritise topics you covered earlier in the year or those you find most challenging, as these are likely to be "hazy" and will benefit most from dedicated revision.

Break down large projects into smaller, numbered tasks. This method helps you focus on one step at a time without feeling overwhelmed by strict timelines. Prioritise tasks that are critical or require input from others, ensuring you make steady progress.
