Writing Answers
Don't go into the exam thinking "I'll LOSE marks here and if I don't get this right I'll LOSE
marks there" etc. When you go in and sit down you essentially have 0 marks. The more relevant,
correct thinks you write, the more marks you get. It isn't a question of not losing marks, it's
a question iof gaining them. In Maths, Physics, Tech. Drawing, etc. make sure you put ALL the
working out down and hand it up. Don't stick it on a sheet and hide ot at the back either. Put
it beside the question for which it is relevant.
Exam Pointers
- Make yourself familiar with marks and test format for each subject.
- Within four weeks of a major exam it is suggested that you re-organize your Action Planner and study subjects in reverse order to the Exam schedule itself. This approach will enable you to review the subject on which you will be first examined in your final study period prior to the exam.
- Avoid cramming by good preparation.
- Brief yourself before each test.
As you are human, you will indulge in post exam discussions - however, remember what is done is done, so take whatever solace you may from this activity and then focus your mind exclusively on the next test.
