How do I get good marks?

• As you read the SPB, make a list of everything you need to do.
• Use either a table or a chart for your plan that includes:
  • task number
  • description
  • start date
  • finish date
  • time allowed
  • notes, such as when you completed.
• Put the tasks in a sensible order.
• Decide how long you will spend on each task.
• Build in some extra time in case things go wrong.
• Agree your plan with your teacher.
• Meet your deadlines by sticking to your plan.
• Keep a record of the changes you make to the plan.

What will lose me marks?

• If you rush your plan and end up making quick decisions – such as allocating an unreasonable time scale.
• If your plan does not make sense.
• If you produce your plan but never look at it again!
• If you produce your plan after you have completed your project! And, yes, we can usually tell!
• If you do not meet your deadlines.
• If your plan is the same as everyone else's.
