3). Have a study timetable and stick to it

Another secret tip for passing the GCE O/L and A/L is for students to have their study timetable.

Draw your reading timetable; give an equal time for all your subjects on your reading timetable.

I do not encourage reading too many subjects at a time, however, you can have two separate reading timetables, one timetable is for you studying while you are at home, while the other timetable is for you studying while you are in school. Yes, you can study in school during your free periods.

Having a study timetable helps you to stay focused and disciplined with yourself.

4). Have an interest in all your subjects

The next vital secret to passing your GCE examination is to show interest in all the subjects you register for.

How on earth, do you plan to pass a subject in the GCE if you do not show interest in that subject? So, treat all your subjects equally, and show great interest in all the courses you have registered for.

Do, not be like a lazy student who thinks some subjects are more important than others.

5). Study in a group with friends

If you want to pass your GCE examinations, it would be best for you to find a team or group of friends of 3-4 persons and study with them.

Studying with a group of friends helps you to learn concepts that you did not understand in class when taught.

It also gives you the ability to interact with others and reduces the fear of asking questions or expressing yourself.

Another advantage of studying with your friends while preparing for your GCE is that it helps you know how far you have studied, by measuring yourself to what level of understanding your friends have acquired. This can help motivate or push you to study harder to catch up with the same level as your friends.

6). Study with Pass GCE questions

Here is another secret tip for passing the GCE O/L and A/L examination for you to study along with past questions.

Past questions serve as a guide to help you measure your understanding of a particular topic. For example, if you study the First world war and you are unable to answer a past GCE question concerning the first world war, then this is a red flag, as its shows you have not read the topic in the first world war very well.

So, try to have a series of past questions and their respective answers booklet. With the internet try as possible to have past questions for the previous 5 years behind you.

The GCE board is indeed unpredictable, however, note that GCE often repeats past questions. Imagine the joy on your face if you meet a past question(s) repeated in the examination hall.

8). Discipline yourself/ Cut all distractions

The 8^th secret tip towards passing the GCE O/L and A/L is to discipline with you.

Being disciplined with yourself mean you should be able to know what to do at a particular time. Have a study timetable, and have a set time you put in place for all your daily activities.

Do not allow social media and its trend to distract or move you away from your goals.

9). Management of your time effectively

Time management is very crucial to your success or failure in the GCE.

Manage your time jealously during your days of writing the GCE.

10). Build a good relationship with your teachers
