Your teachers came to our school yesterday and it was great!  Thanks so much, we all agree that it was the best!  Now we have no excuses - A's all the way!
Joan Cunningham, Meath.
May we wish you the very best of luck in the exams, Joan.

I would just like to say thank you for coming to our school. It was a fun seminar and we learnt a lot about studying.  Tell the teachers thanks loads!
Sarah Meehan, Dublin.
Thanks for taking the trouble to write, Sarah.

I can never concentrate when studying. After no time at all, I start daydreaming. How can you improve your concentration?
Noel Sheenan, Galway.
Try breaking the tasks into small manageable units; give yourself small rewards for completing a task; keep active when studying - take notes, close the book and ask yourself questions; change subject when your mind begins to wander; don't study late at night; have a clear idea what it is you want to learn in a specific session. It is mainly an attitude of mind, Noel, you need to know exactly what you are hoping to achieve in a session and then set a short time limit for getting it done. Sounds easy!!

Thanks for coming to our school - I learnt more in that one day that I ever learnt before at school! The idea of setting weekly goals is brilliant, (see STUDY TIPS page), and the timetable. It was really a fun day as well - everyone enjoyed it.
Tommy Boylan, Waterford.
Thanks for going to the trouble to contact us, Tommy. We wish you and your classmates all the best with your upcoming exams - let us know how you get on.

I got some good ideas from your site.  I'm going to ask my school to bring you in..
Eileen Masters, Cork.

I can never remember dates - any suggestions?
John O'Neill, Dublin.
If you are having problems remembering numbers, just make up a sentence with the number of letters in each word representing the number to be remembered. For example, the value of pie is 3.1415926. This can be remembered by using the mnemonic "may (3) I (1) have (4) a (1) large (5) container (9) of (2) coffee (6)" - the number of letters in each word is the number you are trying to remember! Another example - "A ship discovers U.S." = 1492 (the date Christopher Columbus discovered America!).

Thanks so much! Your organisation came to our school and gave us a seminar in March. I just got my school report and I did really well by using your study methods. I got an A in history - unbelievable for me.
Anne Murray, Cork
Well done, Anne, keep up the good work - remember, self belief is the main thing! The most important aspect of our study method is the constant testing. You'll get even more A's next time!
