De-Stress Your Exams Everyone becomes stressed during exams but it's important not to let stress grow out of control. Here are some common signs of stress and the best ways to de-stress your exams! A little bit of stress does us good. How could we motivate ourselves through 100 pages of The Russian Revolution if we weren't remotely bothered? So everyone has bad days. Sometimes our stress levels get out of hand. This can stop us performing at our best. And mess with our body as well as our mind. What are the symptoms of stress?
Difficulty getting to sleep or difficulty waking up in the morning
Constant tiredness
Forgetfulness
Unexplained aches and pains
Poor appetite
Loss of interest in activities
Increased anxiety and irritability
Increased heart rate
Migraines/headaches
Blurred vision
Dizziness
If you've noticed three or more of the above symptoms and you've experienced them for a few weeks you may need to do something about your stress levels.
So how should I deal with exam stress?
Learn to recognise when you're stressed. A break or a chat with someone who knows the pressure you're under will get things into perspective.
Avoid comparing your abilities with your mates. Those "OMG I've only read Macbeth 17 times" conversations are a wind up. Everyone approaches revision in different ways, so just make sure you've chosen the method that works best for you. Make a realistic timetable. Stick to it.
Eat correctly. Treat yourself like a well-honed machine. Fresh fruit and veg. Proper breakfasts. No one can think straight on coffee and cornflakes.
Sleep well. Wind down before bed. Don't revise under the duvet - your bed is a sanctuary not a desk. Get your 8 hours.
Exercise. Nothing de-stresses the mind faster than physical activity. Build it into your timetable. Being a sloth makes our mind sloppy too.
Panic is often triggered by hyperventilating (i.e. quick, shallow breaths). So if you feel yourself losing it during the exam, sit back for a moment and control your breathing. Deep breath in and out through the nose. Counting to five each way.
Steer clear of any exam 'post-mortem'. It doesn't matter what your mate wrote for Question 3(b). It's too late to go back and change your answers, so it will just make you worry even more.
Ultimately, don't lose sight of the fact that there is life after exams. Things might seem intense right now, but it won't last forever.

Study Tips and Exam Guidelines
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 high school you only need to come to school to write the 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, practice
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 8h15 latest. You will normally be asked to enter the Main Hall
at 8h30. Examiners have to hand out up to 300 papers and this takes time. 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.
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. You may NOT read a book or play games while waiting for your exams to
be collected.
DURING THE EXAM Use the 10 mins reading time at the start to read through all the
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. PLAN your TIME so that you have enough time to work through each question. 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. Make time to CHECK ALL your answers.

Workshop Series 2014 Series 1: Thursday, 27 November 2014 – Friday, 28 November 2014 Series 2: Monday, 1 December 2014 – Tuesday, 2 December 2014
The end-of-year workshop series is another reason that Reddam is unique! Over the course of the last four days of school, students take part in a variety of exciting activities to broaden their education and learning. In the past, these workshops have included scuba diving, aerial silk acrobatics, SUP and surfing lessons, jewellery design, sugar crafting for cakes and confectionaries, first aid courses and hiking. The content varies from year to year and students will be informed during the course of the exams which workshops will be open for 2014. Some of these enjoyable workshops are presented at no extra cost. Many of the workshops are presented by external service providers and therefore carry a cost which, for some workshops, includes transport costs. These costs will vary from workshop to workshop. Detailed workshop information will be communicated to students during the exams. In the meantime, please bear in mind that these days are an integral part of the school curriculum and bear the same expectation of attendance as regular school days where roll call will taken. Workshops offer students and teachers one last chance to enjoy each other’s company in a structured, but relaxed and enjoyable environment before we go on our summer holiday!
