Preparing for Exams

  • Make a realistic study plan
  • Find a good place to study
  • Do it! Study, that is.

Start now. Make notes of the year's work. Attempt examples of exam questions. Practice writing essays. Get your teacher to check your essays and any questions that you find difficult.

Remember to be realistic and don't get stressed (or learn to manage your stress).
