Advice for coping with exams
Revision
- Make yourself a realistic revision timetable
- Find somewhere quiet to do your revision
- Think about the best time of day for you to do your revision
- Make notes of the important points
- Take short breaks – small amounts of focused revision are best
- Ask your teachers/parents/carers for help if you do not understand something
How can parents/carers help?
- Make sure your son or daughter gets enough sleep, not just on the night before an exam, but throughout the days and weeks of revision
- Ensure they keep physically fit. Short walks and deep breathing techniques will help to keep them calm
- Help by testing them and making sure their revision is working
- Encourage them to stick to their revision plan
- Insist they have short breaks from revision or simply pamper them when they have worked really hard
- Be realistic about their chances, don’t put them under pressure by expecting too much
- Reassure them that it is not the end of the world if they do not get the grades they were expecting
Keeping your cool
- Get to bed early the night before an exam
- Arrive in good time having eaten breakfast and/or lunch
- Remember that mobile phones/mp3 players etc are not allowed in the exam room
- Go to the toilet before an exam starts
- In the exam, make sure that you take time to read the instructions and questions carefully
- Work out how long you have to answer each question and stick to it
- Exams are not a race. DO NOT be tempted to stop working because others have finished
- Allow yourself time to read through your work; check for mistakes and that you have answered all of the questions that you need to
