In this module, you will discover your areas of strength, and identify your weaknesses in studies. You will learn about your learning style, tips on how to organize your study time, and ways to improve your school performance. As you advance into Grade 8, you will be progressing to a new set of lessons which demand more of your time and effort in school and at home. It is then necessary to discover plans and develop study habits which go along with your learning style.
