De-Stress Your Exams Everyone becomes stressed during exams but it's important not to let stress grow out of control. Here are some common signs of stress and the best ways to de-stress your exams! A little bit of stress does us good.

What are the symptoms of stress? Difficulty getting to sleep or difficulty waking up in the morning Constant tiredness Forgetfulness Unexplained aches and pains Poor appetite Loss of interest in activities Increased anxiety and irritability Increased heart rate Migraines/headaches Blurred vision Dizziness

If you've noticed three or more of the above symptoms and you've experienced them for a few weeks you may need to do something about your stress levels. So how should I deal with exam stress? Learn to recognise when you're stressed. A break or a chat with someone who

knows the pressure you're under will get things into perspective. Avoid comparing your abilities with your mates. Those "OMG I've only read Macbeth

17 times" conversations are a wind up. Everyone approaches revision in different ways, so just make sure you've chosen the method that works best for you. Make a realistic timetable. Stick to it.

Eat correctly. Treat yourself like a well-honed machine. Fresh fruit and veg. Proper breakfasts. No one can think straight on coffee and cornflakes.

Sleep well. Wind down before bed. Don't revise under the duvet - your bed is a sanctuary not a desk. Get your 8 hours.

Exercise. Nothing de-stresses the mind faster than physical activity. Build it into your timetable. Being a sloth makes our mind sloppy too.

Panic is often triggered by hyperventilating (i.e. quick, shallow breaths). So if you feel yourself losing it during the exam, sit back for a moment and control your breathing. Deep breath in and out through the nose. Counting to five each way.

Steer clear of any exam 'post-mortem'. It doesn't matter what your mate wrote for Question 3(b). It's too late to go back and change your answers, so it will just make you worry even more.

Ultimately, don't lose sight of the fact that there is life after exams. Things might seem intense right now, but it won't last forever.

Study Tips BEFORE THE EXAM DAY

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

exam 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 and 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.

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. You may NOT read a book or play games during the exams.

DURING THE EXAM Use the 10 mins reading time at the start to read through all the questions. 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. PLAN your TIME so that you have enough time to work through each question. 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. Make time to CHECK ALL your answers.

Ensure you have a very thorough knowledge of the movie. Ensure you understand all key concepts explored in the notes and questions. You must understand how these are made evident / realised in the movie. Ensure you are able to discuss and analyse individual sequences, as well as the

overriding themes and intentions in the movie. The mark allocation of the question indicates the amount of detail required. Your ability to express yourself in a clear, structured, mature manner is imperative at

this level. You are expected to understand what a full sentence is and ensure your sentences

hold complete meaning. Punctuation and spelling must be accurate. You must ensure that your answer addresses the specific demands of the question.

work you have studied. You MUST do a few examples of each type of question – either from a text-book, or from old tests, or from past exam papers.

You must mark the questions you try – it is no good doing them if you get them all wrong – all your work and tests should have the correct answers on if you marked efficiently in class.

DO NOT LEAVE YOUR STUDYING UNTIL THE NIGHT BEFORE!!!!!! There is too much to do.

GOOD LUCK. If you work hard, you will reap the rewards.
