YFC Study Skills Team6 min read
Block 45 minutes, not three hours
Short focused blocks with 10-minute breaks beat marathon sessions. Use a timer and one subject per block.
Mix red, amber, and green topics
Spend 50% of time on weak (red) topics, 30% on amber, 20% maintaining green topics.
Schedule tutoring around self-study
Use tutor sessions to unblock red topics the same week you self-study them — reinforcement doubles retention.
