T.he Importance of Independent Organisation for the HSC
Before we get into specific issues and tips from our study skills handbook, let’s look at why being organised is so important for HSC students. There are three main reasons.
First,organisation generally means less stress.在有明确的结构,密苏里州nths ahead, students have the ability to plan out their workload and stay on top of tasks. They can break things down into bite-size activities and regularly reflect on their learning.
Being organised alsoallows students to take ownership over their work.HSC students are more likely to succeed if they believe that what they’re taking on is important for their learning, so this is a big one.
Finally, being organisedshows students where gaps are in their learning。如果您的孩子经常审查所有内容并有一个解决棘手的概念，他们将处于一个伟大的位置，以获得教师或同行的帮助。这对他们在考试前一周的时间来说，这对试图学习内容的人来说，这会给他们一大堆。
S.tudents taking responsibility for this organisation means that success rests on their shoulders.虽然这可能是令人生畏的，但它通常鼓励学生努力工作并瞄准更好的标记。他们也将在胜利的胜利中播出奇迹！
Now let’s get into our specific tips!
第1部分：学习和成功的教学责任
In the first part of our study skills handbook, we’ll be exploring how you can give your child more responsibility for their study and success.
我们刚刚碰到了，being organised and working hard early can help students to own their study habits.T.hey feel responsible to themselves for success, rather than to parents, teachers, or another external force.
什么是成功？
Before we understand this point, we need to know what success is. In short, HSC success meansseeing your child do their best, overcome academic fears, get the marks they aim for and not give up.
Importantly, you may notice that this is far more about having a certain mindset than hitting killer marks.每个HSC学生都会看起来不同。
At a minimum,你希望你的孩子感受到他们的比赛之上，准备接受新的挑战that have the potential to push their marks up.
Building Trust
No one wants to be the pushy helicopter parents, especially not to older teenagers.Helping your child to feel successful and work independently can be a fine line.
它的great to treat the HSC year like a transition period, where youguide your child and give them tips, but also take a step back while they make their own decisions.T.his can be true in all parts of life, but is especially important for study!
T.he main way to help your child feel like they are responsible for their HSC is by建立信任和独立。
如果你的孩子感觉你相信他们并对他们的决策技能有信心，那么他们就是更有可能颁布自律，并为自己的成功感到负责。
这是好的communicate with your child about the added independence you are giving them.Generally, you will still offer advice and help make big decisions, but HSC can be a time to let your child try their own study routines, even if you don’t totally agree with them.
这种技术有两个主要的东西：
P.art 2: Teaching Your Child Self-Discipline When Studying
We’ve talked about why ownership of success is important. However, how will students reach a point of success if they don’t have study schedules and a way of working towards their goals?
在本研究技能手册的本节中，我们将继续通过不同的原则，您可以帮助您的孩子采用。Let’s start with the art of self-discipline and study routines.
什么是自律？
自律有许多不同的定义，因此我们可以解决这个话题的多种方式。然而，HSC期间的自律可以理解为维持学术界的动力和参与的技能。
S.tudents who are disciplined tend to listen in a classroom, retain important information and take it away to work on.他们制定关键的学习习惯，关心自己的成功。
Importantly,students with good self-discipline are able to keep going, even when motivation wears thin or work gets rather hard.这对您孩子不享有的科目尤为重要。
How to Help Your Child Develop Self-Discipline
T.his is a rather big topic and one that is going to vary for each child. However, there are a few key tips that can help develop this discipline.
它的vital for other life skills like resilience, determination and accountability.T.herefore, it’s a really crucial thing to learn.
Most students won’t be particularly disciplined if you just leave them on a whim to learn themselves.
非常喜欢成功的责任，you need to slowly relinquish your level of input into your child’s life.这是一个平衡游戏，学生和父母共同努力寻找最佳结果。
S.ome ways you can cultivate discipline in your child are:
#1: Communicate goals with your child
通过有明确的目标，您和您的孩子都同意（但是由他们建立），your child will have clear accountability and continue working hard for the marks these desire.虽然共享目标从一些外向动机开始，但让您的孩子设置它们并使自己的决定是非常有益的。
＃2：共同创造现实预期
有的目标，你和你的孩子同意很棒，但需要有一种进入那里的方式。
S.o you’ll need to bedeveloping study expectations that take into account family life, extra curricular activities, their skills in certain subjects and downtime。互相沟通这些期望，但让您的孩子带走缰绳将使他们能够控制自己的HSC。
#3: Create a study routine
As we will get into in the next section, a study routine can be really vital for discipline.S.tudents need a structure that allows them to revise effectively, fit in additional activities and get some rest.
Good structures also encourage your child to continue working hard, even if they don’t feel like doing so.
P.art 3: Helping Your Child Make a Study Plan
所以，你知道如何在孩子身上培养自律并获得动力。你已经让学生对他们的成功负责负责。
然而，在日常的能力，您仍然可能想知道如何踢良好的学习习惯。
T.hat’s where our final section of our study skills handbook comes in. We are going to break downwhat is needed in a killer study schedule and how you can help your child make one for themselves.
是什么使得一个良好的结构？
S.tructures areimportant for discipline and momentum。正如我们早些时候谈到的那样，他们也允许学生早期上工作，提出问题，即使他们不觉得它也是如此。总而言之，非常重要的东西！
O.ne of the key parts of a successful timetable isletting your child determine when they will study and why.这进入我们之前关于拥有HSC的所有权的积分。
一些其他的important parts of a study timetable can be remembered through SPORT.Just like athletes training for a race, students are training for their HSC.
Here’s how to do it:
S.pecific times during the week need to be non-negotiable study periods (e.g. Wednesday 5pm, Thursday 6pm)
P.重新确定设定时间的休息，以便您的孩子知道他们在哪里，可以推动自己然后振兴
O.utcomes should be a focus of study (e.g. learning a specific maths formula)
R.emove all distractions! Phones are the biggest issue to get rid of.
T.IME绑定的学习是最好的。创建一个清晰的目的，以便您的孩子在完成后才知道，并且可以在那一点之前努力工作。
How should we break up specific study times?
我们将专注于S中的体育：全周的具体学习时间。它的great if your child can create these and stick to them, but even better if they use them effectively. Let’s go through a few ways that study time can be used advantageously.
#1: Develop intimate knowledge of the syllabus
When your child creates their schedule,encourage them to schedule in times to go over each dot point of each subject.它的not enough to just do a broad overview. Those top marks are in the detail!
#2: Learn material before class
Encourage your child to工作时间进入他们的学习时间表，在他们上课之前他们可以过度内容！这将为您提供时间要求教师的创新问题。
早期学习内容也是在HSC实际开始之前进入一致的学习计划的好方法。他们早期的工作越多，他们需要越低的轨道。
#3: Teach others
鼓励您的孩子与同龄人合作或导管！No only will this share knowledge, but it’s great for memory retention and allows feedback.
#4: Schedule weekly time for HSC practice questions
在一天结束时，如果您的孩子无法将其综合为适合HSC问题的信息，您的孩子具有多少知识并不重要。S.cheduling time to practice answers early will get them familiar with structure and good at using key phrases.
And that’s our study skills handbook!
