2. Discover Learning is highly effective as a collaborative and social experience. ExamTime allows you to discover study resources published by students and teachers from over 140 countries worldwide and learn from their creations. If a resource is relevant to areas you are learning, you can add it to your personal library by pinning the resource to a topic within your subjects. In this sense you can add extra insight to your study and open your mind to endless possibilities of potential.

You can also introduce an element of social learning by adapting your study to include comments from other students. Build a discussion on a topic with a number of other students using the Groups option. You can even poll the opinion of your friends to understand what the overall feeling on an area is.

3. Track Without understanding your learning progress, you won't know how successfully you are accomplishing your goals at each key point in the journey. One thing that sets top students apart from others is the habit they have developed of always learning from their mistakes to continuously build their foundation of knowledge. In this way you can optimise your learning to become an expert in any area! Here's how you can track your learning across the ExamTime tools:

Mind Maps: Use tracking to manage your tasks by ticking completed items to know how much of a topic is done
Flashcards: Use the 'I know' and 'I don't know' buttons to to track the terms you need to work further on
Notes: Integrate other resources such as quizzes and flashcards into your notes to track progress
Quizzes: Test your knowledge and track your scores across multiple attempts

Bringing this altogether in one place is your subjects. If you have grouped your resources accordingly, you can easily view your average score and other stats in the 'Analytics' area.

4. Learn Of course, learning happens at every stage in the process. Even when you reach the succeed stage, you should reflect on what you have achieved and how you can ensure this knowledge is retained over the long-term.

The best way to tackle the 'learn' objective is by reviewing your study notes and understanding where the gap in your knowledge lies. Do you have a problem understanding a certain topic? Did you think you would do better in that quiz? Now is the time to question what's working for you and what isn't and how to optimise each scenario.

5. Succeed You have put in all the hard work now it's time to put it into action when it really counts. Whether you are working on a course assignment, group project or end of term test, using this learning process will help you grab your academic goals with two hands.

Remember: Learning is a cyclical process so once you start, you keep going to continue learning. At ExamTime, we strive to support lifelong learning rather than just ensuring your are prepared to take your next test. We give you the tools to understand how you can learn better in every situation.
