STUDY TIPS

BEFORE THE EXAM DAY

Do not miss ANY days of school. If you are unwell, come to school to write your test and then go

home. Then you will be able to see how well you know your work and teachers can help you, before the

exams, in areas where you are not sure.

Make sure that you have all the notes given in class and that all your assignments are completed. Class work is always added to the exam mark to make your term mark – and it is usually worth as much,

if not more, than the exam mark.

At High School you only need to come to school to write the exam. You must make sure that you use

your time at home well:

study at set times of the day- ask people to test you, make notes, summarise, practice labelling

diagrams and maps – be active in your learning - don’t just read over your work

eat healthy snacks.

exercise every day.

go to bed at a sensible time

ON THE EXAM DAY

You need to arrive for exams at 7h45 latest. You will normally be asked to enter the Main Hall at

8h00. Examiners have to hand out up to 300 papers and this takes time. There is also 10 minutes of

reading time before the exam begins.

If you are not being collected immediately after the exam, then study in the library. For security

reasons you are not allowed to walk to the shops.

Bring a book to read. Exams involve a lot of waiting around.

Dress in FULL school uniform.

Bring all the required stationery and a spare pen. CHECK if you need calculators or glue etc

Wear a watch – you are NOT allowed to have a cell phone on your desk to check the time.

DURING THE EXAM

Use the 10 mins reading time at the start to read through all

the test questions.

Draw a marking margin on the right hand side of your page.

Be sure to follow the instructions given for each question.

Note how many marks a question is worth so that you know

what depth of answer (how many points) to give.

Number your questions EXACTLY as they are numbered on

the exam paper.

Do NOT use Tippex Simply cross out neatly and rewrite.

Don’t sit gloomily on one question which you can’t do - leave a

space and move on – come back to it at the end. If you have time, review and check ALL your answers.
