HOT TIPS FOR STAYING COOL AT EXAM TIME

0 _G _

It’s always good to know what you’re aiming for, so that you know if and when you get there By having an aim for each week, or even each day, it will help you check your progress and show you if you need to change your plans

1 _

Rather than have to work through masses of notes every time you revise something, try noting down the things you want to remember on a piece of paper

It doesn’t seem as much to learn that way, but it makes sure you don’t miss out anything important Once you’ve learnt the main points, rewrite them on another piece of paper without looking at your notes

2 _

There is nothing worse than being disorganized If you have a plan and stick to it, you won’t end up cramming all your revision into the last few hours! Make a list of your exams and what you need to learn beforehand, and then drew up a timetable covering all the topics You can then work out what you need to do on a weekly basis and when you are going to do it

3 _

By now you’ll probably have discovered the method of revision which suits you best But now and then it might be helpful to try a different method You could try working with a group of friends, or using a different book which covers things from

a new angle Whatever it is, just try something different occasionally

4 _

Some things are almost impossible to remember, so you may need to do something unusual to help you remember Try writing them down in large letters and bright colors and sticking them on the fridge, on a mirror or on the bathroom door Try recording them onto a cassette and keep playing it back to yourself- on a personal stereo if you have got one!

5 _

Not too many people like exams and most of us get nervous But if you’ve followed your plan and put the effort into revising, then there is no need to worry or panic Hopefully these tips will have helped you Give it your best shot- that’s all that anyone can expect of you
