Key Exam Tips
With the mock exams starting in the next few weeks, stress levels are high and the cramming has begun. We have compiled some tips to leave you as stress free as possible and help you pass the exams.

1. Don't stay up late revising the night before


2. Double check the details of the exam the day before


3. When you arrive at school avoid students who are asking each other questions


4. Read the entire exam paper before you start writing and take a deep breath


5. Stay to the end and avoid the post-mortem!
1. You will find it more and more difficult to retain the information that you are reading through later in the day. We recommend that you put your books away by 7 o clock the night before and take a couple of hours to watch television or meet up with friends. Your brain needs a rest! If your exam is in the afternoon then do some gentle revision the morning of the exam. Remember - at this stage, you should not be referring back to your text books, use the notes that you have compiled during your studying.

2. Ensure that you confirm the time and location of the exam the day before. Even if you are sure that you have these details correct already, it is easy to make a mistake when you have so many exams coming up. If you turn up at the wrong time and miss an exam, unfortunately you cannot do it at a later date.

3. If you get involved with students who are quickly asking each other questions and testing each other you may find it more difficult to recall the answer which will leave you demotivated before you've even seen the paper! Just because you cant remember the answer when sitting in a group who are feeling extremely tense and anxious doesnt mean that you wont remember the answer when faced with the same question on the exam paper. Remember, STAY CALM!

4. As so many exam papers are made up of a number of choices, it is important that you read the paper in full before you get started. This will enable you to ensure that you start with the questions that you are best at, thus motivating you and pushing you to keep going. If you start with a question that you are not confident with it may take you extra time which will result in you running out of time when it comes to your good questions. And don't forget to take a deep breath and relax!

5. Don't leave the exam early. Staying to the end allows you to read over your answers and spot any mistakes. It may also allow you to add information that you have forgotten. Once you leave at the end of the exam, we recommend that you make an agreement within your group of friends that you will not get into a discussion about what answers you provided for the various questions. If you discover that you didnt put the same answers as your friends it will leave you even more anxious and you will have more exams to follow. To help you to stay positive, avoid these discussions and look ahead to the next challenge. Remember that once you hand up the paper the result is out of your control.
