Just like on 1 January, you\u2019re always full of resolutions for the coming academic year. These students talk about their goals. Are yours the same?<\/p>\n

#1 Start studying earlier<\/h3>

You look in your diary and you realise that you suddenly have an examination tomorrow. Business Administration student Floris Grootenboer (20): \u201cIn a block I usually take the first two months as \u2018holiday\u2019 and suddenly have to work incredibly hard in the last month prior to the examinations. Because I\u2019ve not done anything for so long, it\u2019s really hard to get started and I get low marks. I wouldn\u2019t have this problem if I were to do a few hours a day from the start of the block. That would give my average a boost, and I need that for the master degree at the RSM. From 2017 the faculty will only admit students who score at least a 7 on average for their bachelor degree.\u201d<\/p>\n
