  34. GCSEs - A Student Perspective Jake and Jodi (Year 12) Be Prepared: • Build up resources – ask teachers for useful websites, CGP textbooks, past papers (*check you have the right exam board!) • Motivation – It’s hard to be motivated for exams but it’s key to remember that the better you do the more options you will have in the future • Friends – Be supportive whilst being competitive! • Start early – Be the first to start revising, recap lessons, little bits of revision help

  35. How often? – Start with 2 nights a week and as it gets closer to exams increase to five, maximum of 2 hours at a time with 10 min break in-between • Revision methods – Everyone revises differently. Use past papers and mind map right! Use colour and pictures, make notes on topics from the textbook and YouTube videos • Make a home timetable! • Sleep – One of the most important things! 8 hours a night Study hard

  36. Exams • Stay in school – Avoid going home to revise – study in school, go to revision sessions, ask teachers for answers) • Confidence – “Success in exams will depend on 40% natural ability, 40% revision and 20% remaining calm” – get an early night before!
