STUDY TIPS

BEFORE THE EXAM DAY

Do not miss ANY days of school. If you are unwell, come to school to write your exam and then go home. Then you will be able to see how well you know your work and teachers can help you, before the exams, in areas where you are not sure.

Make sure that you have all the notes given in class and that all your assignments are completed. Class work is always added to the exam mark to make your term mark – and it is usually worth as much, if not more, than the exam mark.

At the College you only need to come to school on the days that you have an exam. You must make sure that you use your time at home well:

study at set times of the day- ask people to test you, make notes, summarise, practise labelling diagrams and maps – be active in your learning - don’t just read over your work

eat healthy snacks.

exercise every day.

go to bed at a sensible time

ON THE EXAM DAY

You need to arrive for exams at 08h20 latest. You will normally be asked to enter the exam venue at 08h30. There is also 10 minutes of reading time before the exam begins.

If you are not being collected immediately after the exam, then study in the library. For security reasons you are not allowed to walk to the shops.

Bring a book to read. Exams involve a lot of waiting around. Dress in FULL school uniform. Bring all the required stationery and a spare pen. CHECK if you need calculators

or glue etc Wear a watch – you are NOT allowed to have a cell phone on your desk to check

the time.

DURING THE EXAM

Use the 10 minute reading time at the start to read through all the exam questions. Be sure to follow the instructions given for each question. Note how many marks a question is worth so that you know what depth of

answer (how many points) to give. Number your questions EXACTLY as they are numbered on the exam paper. Do NOT use Tippex Simply cross out neatly and rewrite. Don’t sit gloomily on one question which you can’t do - leave a space and move on

– come back to it at the end. If you have time, review and check ALL your answers.

PRACTISE, PRACTISE, PRACTISE with a PEN in your hand and PAPER underneath it.

You must study your notes.

You cannot rely on having understood the work during the year. There is too much new work you have studied. You MUST do a few examples of each type of question – either from the booklet, or from old tests, or from past papers.

You must mark the questions you try – it is no good doing them if you get them all wrong – all your work and tests should have the correct answers on if you marked efficiently in class.

DO NOT LEAVE YOUR STUDYING UNTIL THE NIGHT BEFORE!!!!!! There is too much to do. GOOD LUCK. If you work hard, you will reap the rewards
