Post Reply Close Saving..... Edit Comment Close Premium member Presentation Transcript Revising for and taking Examination : Revising for and taking Examination It is examination time again. Here are some tips to help you prepare for your exams and study more effectively. : Manage your time Make a timetable. Mark on your calendar the examination days. List all your exam subjects and the amount of time you think you will need for each one. Allocate more time to the subject or topics they find the most difficult. Start with the least enjoyable or the most difficult subject. Study in short sessions of 20-50 minutes. Take a 5 to 10 minute break and do something physically active to make you more alert . : Find a good study spot The place where you study should be relatively quiet and you should feel comfortable but not so comfortable that you risk falling asleep! : Active revision It is not enough just to re-read notes, make your revision active! Paper - Have some paper and a pen handy. Memorise - Study a section of your notes, and memorise the essential points. Write - Put your notes out of sight, and write down from memory the essential things you learned. Check - Check with your notes. : Make associations The most effective way to retain information is to associate it to existing information that is already lodged in your mind. If you find it difficult to memorise a concept, sing the main points. By linking them with a tune of your favourite song may help you remember them. Rewrite your notes as mind-maps - a web-like structure of words and ideas. : Make associations Use colour to highlight important things Draw diagrams and sketches to help you remember points. Use mnemonics (memory aids). Rearrange the information in a sequence that is meaningful to you. For example, ROY G. BIV (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet)- The 7 colours of a rainbow. : Past Examination Papers Look through past question papers. Note carefully the examination format and what questions are asked. Note the differences in how questions are asked from year to year. Work through past question papers – Make outline plans for the answers. Use a watch to time yourself so that you can practise answering questions within the time limit. : Form a Study Group Study with one or two friends and test each other’s knowledge. If you have not entirely grasped a topic, or do not have any ‘new’ ideas on it, discuss it with your friends can be helpful. Taking the examination : Taking the examination Get enough sleep at night. Eat a healthy breakfast; drink plenty of water to avoid becoming dehydrated as dehydration makes you tired and reduces concentration Develop a positive attitude towards exams Don't panic on exams day. On the night before and in the morning of examination read through your notes a few times, then put them away. Taking the examination : Taking the examination Don’t get into conversations about the exam just before the start; other people may make you more nervous or start confusing you. Get ready your stationery or equipment Have a watch to make sure you are pacing yourself correctly. Read the instructions carefully. Look through the paper first and mark difficult questions. Look at the marks available and read the questions carefully, follow the instructions given in the paper (e.g. to show all workings, word limits etc) Taking the examination : Taking the examination Pace yourself and allow enough time to answer all questions Write as neatly as possible. If you are giving essay-style answers, spend the first 5-10 minutes to produce a structured plan of what you are going to include in each section. Allow yourself ten minutes at the end to read through your answers and correct any mistakes After the examination : After the examination It is easy to fall in to the trap of wondering how well you performed and to discuss this with your fellow students. Your time would be better spent looking ahead to your next examination. Don’t compare your answers with those of other students – this can create negative feelings Don’t rush to your textbooks to check your answers – there is no point at this stage Have some fresh air and take time to relax before you start revising Focus on the next exam and how you might improve your exam technique Slide 13: Remember: Being well prepared for your examination can boost your confidence. Preparing well means starting your revision early, having clear goals and organizing your time. All these will help you develop a positive attitude and perform at your best ! To all of you who are taking your PMR/SPM/STPM/Final Examinations: We wish you success and always Strive for Excellence!
