• EXAM PREPRATION

This page therefore offers some ideas, based on experience and expert opinion, to help those still quite new to exams.

Studying and preparing is vital to success in exams.

Some of these tips sound like ‘common sense’, and relate to the importance of looking after yourself

Others are more about how you do your studying.

Both types are important, and will help you to both study better, and perform better in the exam.

• Start your revision early

You need to give yourself enough time to review everything that you have studied, and make sure that you understand it (or to read round the subject or ask for help if you are struggling). Last minute cramming is much less productive.

• Organise your study time

You will also find that you have more to revise for some subjects than others.

It is also helpful to consider when and how long you plan to spend studying each day.
