Tips on approaching your examinations
One of the best ways to beat your nerves on exam day is plan ahead and be prepared!
Try to reach your revision targets but don’t study too much and leave yourself tired.
Get a good night’s rest, eat well and drink plenty of water.
Get organised - check you have everything you need and understand what is involved.
Arrive for your exam in good time – you will add to the pressure if you are running late.
Exam papers have all the guidance you need. Take the time to understand the questions, the marks involved and which questions appear difficult. Start with your strongest areas offering the most marks to give yourself a confident start..
Try to leave enough time to read through your answers before the exam closes.
You cannot change answers once the exam is finished so don’t worry about questions you found difficult, or you feel may not be correct. Instead, try to think about how you can improve your approach ready for your next exam.
Examination Revision Techniques and Links
