TECHNIQUES
One of the critical ways of helping a student to maximise his or her performance at Leaving

the forefront of developments in this area.
The Institute of Education will develop students’ study skills in the following areas:
•Memory Techniques
•Revision
•Motivation
•Note Taking
•Goal Setting
•Examination Techniques
•Written Homework
“Just a short note to express my deep gratitude for all
that you did for me in the course of last year. Not only
did I get to study Law at Trinity, but I feel the study
techniques I learnt at the Institute will be of great
benefit to me in my further education.”
•Time Management
THREE KEYS TO EXAM SUCCESS
KNOWLEDGE: Our experienced teachers ensure that the subjects are taught in a way that maximises understanding
and the study techniques assist the student in his retention of this knowledge.
TECHNIQUE:
Presentation and layout are an important part of Exam Technique. Many marks can be lost by a student not
reading a question properly, not planning an answer, or spending too long on a particular question. Students
at the Institute are thoroughly briefed in avoiding these pitfalls.
CONFIDENCE: This comes with the Knowledge and the Technique…plus, of course, with a little bit of care and morale-boosting
from our teachers and counsellors.
