In a video interview, WorksheetCloud parent Shaz Pillay describes how she discovered her daughter had been misdiagnosed with ADD or ADHD. She shares the warning signs parents should look out for and how parents can support their child emotionally while working through a possible misdiagnosis and the assessment process.
To study for exams using WorksheetCloud, start with the Study Notes, which break topics into bite-size slides with key definitions and textbook references. Next, work through the Practice Questions, using hints when stuck and checking the memo afterwards. Only then attempt the Practice Exams, which have 20 to 40 questions and mirror real exam conditions.
To prepare for Term 2 June exams, parents can check that school notes are complete, create a study plan that tackles difficult work first and review the timetable as a family. A quiet study space, study methods that suit the child’s learning style, a balanced diet, 20 to 30 minute study sessions, enough sleep and practice exams also help.
Common studying mistakes include passive highlighting, marathon study sessions, switching between subjects and digital distractions. Learners can fix these by reading actively and taking notes, studying in 20 to 25 minute blocks with 5 to 10 minute breaks, planning their subjects, switching off phones and screens, studying with a partner and taking breaks to manage exam anxiety.
