Exam Technique

Although most enjoy the learning process,it can be said that examinations bring out the worst in all of us,regardless of academic ability. During my time as an examinations coach,I have seen many a confident,intelligent student suffer.Indeed many of the most gifted students are subject to the dreaded "exam nerves".

The best word to win through is calm. The second phrase is PACE YOURSELF. Finally,BREATHE!

Wellbeing before,during and throughout will ensure success,and old traditional tips such as sleep well before the event and have a good balanced breakfast are good rules of thumb.

Read the questions,and retrace your steps,checking spelling,punctuation,always ask yourself "Did i answer the question?".

Examiners critique weaker students for spelling,often or missing accents.Good handwriting is a must.

Enjoy the exam,or subject content if you can,and dont let the competition dissuade you.

YOU CAN DO IT!
