Preparing effectively for upcoming exams
Each student in the Senior School of Thomas Hassall is in some way preparing for exams. Our Year 12 students are finalising their understanding of the course, refining their knowledge of those last few syllabus dot points, whilst the Year 11 cohort is moving into their Final Examinations in Weeks 9 and 10.
Regardless of the grade, exams are, for some, a stressful time, It is important therefore to prepare effectively for exams, building confidence and hopefully relieving some of the stress. Some time-proven active revision techniques include:
- Revising after each lesson
- Creating summary notes and visual mind maps
- Revise with others
- Establishing an effective study timetable
- Practice past exams
- Analysing and breaking down past exam questions
I would like to encourage each student in the Senior School to put in place effective revision techniques to deepen their subject knowledge and perform well in the upcoming examinations.
