Many
psychologists have reported that recalling information on a memory test can
strengthen future memory for that information ( Roediger &
Karpicke, 2006a; Wheeler & Roediger, 1992). It is often found that tests
strengthen memory even more than do extra opportunities to study the material.

This is when the thick past year popular school
test/exam papers come in handy. However, do this only after your child has
covered the specific topics. I will normally ask Wen to do the SA1 papers
during the June school holidays and SA2 during the December holidays.
