| Tue | Flashcards, then Quick 10 | 15 min |
| Thu | Redo what you got wrong | 10 min |

Meet SoraK
Made by a real Secondary 1 (PG3) student in Singapore
SoraK is a Secondary 1 student. Sec 1 came fast. First came WA1, WA2 and WA3. WA means Weighted Assessment, a school test that counts towards your final grade for the year. Then came the EOY, the end-of-year exams. Each time, she rushed to revise, and each time she carried stacks of notes everywhere. Then she saw something. The short, clear notes were the ones she actually read. So she made her own, and now she studies with you, one step at a time.
Why short notes matter
Long notes are hard to start and easy to skip. Short notes are quick to read, easy to repeat and light enough to carry. Reading them again and again helps the key ideas stick. That is what makes revision work, especially in the busy weeks before a test.
A note from SoraK's mum
Short, concise notes changed how she studied.
She stopped carrying stacks of paper.
She could revise on the bus, in cafes and libraries, anywhere.
Within a year she went from an average student to an A grade student.
So The Secondary Classroom is here for students like her!
