21 Year 11 students were recently treated to a whole day study skills course at Bohunt School in Liphook, Surrey.
The course, delivered by the creator of the 6S Study Skills System, encouraged students to consider a variety of learning approaches to prepare more effectively for their exams.

They experienced the effectiveness of ten different learning tools, all of which accessed visual, auditory and kinaesthetic learning styles. The students were also guided into learning more about the impact that sleep, diet and exercise can have on attainment and were given opportunity to review and reflect on their learning throughout the day.

They were asked to report whether the course had changed their view of their ability to study effectively, and here is what they had to say:

• There are easy ways to revise
• There are now easier ways to revise
• I now see clearly how important revision is
• I feel more confident in my learning now that I have had this day
• This was very cool and good fun
• I now know how to revise properly
• It shows that studying is not actually that hard
• I know how to revise things properly now
• Before I could not revise easily, and now I can
• I need to try out the methods before I can be sure
• It will be easier to learn with these new techniques

When asked whether they would recommend the course to others, 100% reported a resounding YES, citing these reasons to support their response:

• Good practice techniques, easy to remember
• I have learnt a lot
• It’s really good
• It has really helped me with my revision programme
