Tips from Irish Tutors
- Start early: 12 weeks is enough if you stay consistent.
- Past papers are gold: Aim for 5+ past papers per subject before exams.
- Sleep beats cramming: Your brain consolidates while you rest.
- Active recall > passive reading: Test yourself instead of re-reading notes.
- Get help when stuck: One tutor session can save you 10 hours of confusion.
