  2. EXAM STRESS …and how to beat it Revision Notes Exam Timetable

  3. Try to work to a Revision Timetable • Start planning well before exams begin • Make your Books, Notes and Essays user friendly with Summary Notes, Headings,Sub-Headings and Revision Cards • Use Key Words and / or Spider Charts • Get tips on other revision techniques from others

  4. Revise/Review DON’T • Don’t leave Revision to the last minute • Don’t avoid revising subjects you don’t like or find difficult • Don’t forget that there is life beyond Revision and Exams

  5. Revise/Review (cont.) REMEMBER : • Remember it is important to eat and sleep well • Put yourself first – it is an important time for you – try to talk to family about how they can make studying a little easier for you, e.g. by agreeing times when you can have your own space, when they will try to be a bit quieter around the house and when you would rather not be disturbed DON’T REVISE ALL THE TIME – TAKE BREAKS AND DO THINGS YOU ENJOY AND HELP YOU RELAX

  6. PREPARE for the BIG DAY CHECK … • Have a good breakfast • Give yourself plenty of time to get to the exam room • Make sure you know where the exam is being held • Take everything you need – pens, pencils, water, anything else? • Go to the toilet before the exam starts

  7. PACE YOURSELF • Read the instructions • Read all the questions and give yourself time to answer those you are required to answer • Plan how much time you will need for each question • If you are stuck, go to the next question. You can come back to the unfinished one later. If you are really stuck, try to have an intelligent guess

  8. ABOVE ALL … • Perform as well as you can – ‘YOU are YOU’ so you can only do the best you can on the day • Don’t go through the answers with your friends afterwards, if it is only going to worry you • Try to put the last exam out of your mind and look ahead to the next one – you can’t go back to change things Exams are Important, but they are not the only key to a successful future. GOOD LUCK!
