Chloe Made Me Study

#063 – Sitting an exam in person, in an exam hall, can be a pretty stressful experience. But in-person exams have been the norm for most universities forever so it may feel a little daunting to have to sit an online exam at home.

Or you may be thinking 'yippee!' at the thought of an online exam. Because they DO have their upsides. But they do require a different revision strategy than an in-person exam. When it's less about memorisation and more about application...your revision strategies need to change. Yes, you may get to have your books and notes around to help, but that can actually cause more issues than it solves.

In the past year I've worked with A LOT of students who took their first ever online exam from home...and failed...because they didn't take it seriously, or because they didn't think their exam strategy would have to change.

In this episode, I'm going to share with you my simple 7-step process to help you plan and revise effectively for an online exam.

#061 – The last year or so has been tough for everyone – and you may have struggled at times to do your best in your studies and other areas of your life.

In this episode I'm going to share with you some of the insights from my own journey over the last few months, and a two-step process to help you shift your perspective on goal setting so that you can work out what doing your best looks like for you, in your studies, right now.

#057 – Do you ever find yourself diving into writing without much planning before you start your essay?

I see this A LOT with the students I work with and a few things tend to happen:– the writing process takes a lot longer– the writing process is more stressful– they end up having to cut loads of words that aren't relevant– they go off on tangents and don't answer the question– they get lower grades because of it.

I don't want this to happen to you. Instead, follow my simple planning process before you start your essay, and you'll find the whole process much easier AND you'll achieve higher grades.

In this episode, I take you through a worked example essay question, and teach you the 7 simple but powerful questions you should ask yourself before you start your essay to ensure your arguments are strong, coherent, and that you actually answer the task you've been set.

#055 – Do you want to sound smarter in your writing? Or have your ideas come across more clearly? Then you need to understand these 10 words you should never use in an essay.

Proofreading can often feel like the nice-to-have study task you complete if you have enough time. But I've proofread hundreds of essays over the last few years for students and I want to urge you to devote more of your essay writing time to this activity.

It's not just a style thing. Take the time to ensure your writing is clear and sharp and your ideas will be understood more easily, which equals higher marks. I regularly see students go up an entire grade in the proofreading stage.

In this episode I share with you the 10 words you should never use in an essay...if you wanna get a good grade. Simply check over your work for these 10 ten words and phrases and you'll magically make your writing clearer, and easier to write...which will make it A LOT easier for your tutor to award you marks.
