Exam Advice!

Exam advice:

So, lately I have being doing a lot of exams and this has naturally caused a lot of stress. To combat this stress I have been researching how to make this process a little bit easier and less stressful. Here are four tips that I think will help everyone cope with their exams.

1) Be Prepared: when all of your teachers tell you to revise now, listen to them! Don’t leave it until the last minute to revise because you won’t remember the information and you won’t feel prepared. If you don’t feel prepared then you will feel stressed and that is never a good thing. Revise early!!!

2) Revise Properly: it’s all good saying that you will revise but if you don’t revise properly it won’t help. You need to have structured revision and make sure you find out how you learn, if you learn by re writing things or if you learn by making posters do that but find out what way works best for you. Also, make sure that you revise in a place were you won't get distracted. Do not have the television or a computer or YouTube on in the background as these will lead to procrastination.

3) Walk Away: If a specific subject is causing you to panic or you just don’t understand it don’t sit for three hours staring at it, walk away, do something else and ask a teacher or friend for help the next day.

4) Have a life: If you spend all of your time revising you will overload your brain and although you may learn some things but you will burn yourself out which can lead to problems when it comes to sitting down in the exam room. Also, when you leave school you will have missed out on so much stuff. Balance a social life with a work one.

I hope these have helped you with your exams, follow those four steps and I am sure that you will pass all of your exams now and in the summer.
