The AEP is here to help students get a better GPA, improve their study habits, and learn more about a certain subject. ScoreRite's AEP program is to provide students with opportunities to explore the various activities that are available on campus.
The requirements to be in this program will take up time, something that is not always in abundance for a lower level student. The requirements are not too strenuous and students can also excel in their studies, many students have come through similar learning communities finishing both requirements and excelling in their studies. We, the teachers, hope that students can learn how to explore whatever possibilities they come across while at ScoreRite and take some of the skills and friendships into the next phases of their life.

Introduction to 'How am I as a learner?' and 'What can I do to improve my learning habits?'

First take a look at your study habits (you need to be branched to score your statements).

Effective study habits
What are good study habits and how to develop them

Procrastination
One major problem for many students is that they cannot get things done in due time. They postpone things, do other things that are not really necessary etc. and all this prevents them from getting the job done while at the same time they feel bad about it. Are you a procrastinator? Take the test.

Motivation and concentration: what makes you study and are you able to concentrate?

Concentration
Many students complain that they cannot concentrate. Consider some of the questions and answers here to help you improve your concentration. Concentration while you work also has a beneficial effect on your memory.
Concentration and memory work together but one does not lead to the other. To concentrate is to direct your mental powers or your efforts towards a particular activity, subject or problem. Memory is the ability to remember information, experiences and people. There are some specific skills that can be learned to enhance both concentration and memory. Practicing these skills is likely to improve one's success as a student.
Once something is stored in our brain, we never forget it. We may, however, have difficulty recalling the information. It is also possible that the information we are trying to recall was never stored. This program will help you understand the structure of memory and also suggest some skills you can use to try to improve your memory.
Good concentration will enhance memory. If we only practice skills that improve our memory but never look at factors that enhance concentration, our efforts will only be marginally successful. For this reason, some tips for improving concentration will also be discussed in this program.

Active learning: Memory issues and note taking
Research has demonstrated a relationship between how well you remember and active study strategies. The more actively you work with the material, i.e. ask questions to it, organise it, relate it to what you have already learnt, the more you understand and remember. Good note taking skills can help you organise the material you study but it is very important that you actively choose what to write in your notes. Don't just copy the book.

Memory and memory techniques
Active learning will help you to remember better. We sometimes forget more than we want but we can ensure that we forget less if we really try to remember using specific techniques. If we don't understand what we learn, we forget more than 50 % within the first hour. Memory is your good friend in learning so use this material to learn and reflect on memory. Be aware that being active learning takes time and demands effort and willingness to do your part. There is no easy way and the memory pill is still to be invented.
