However hard you studied in the run up to exams, the
most important work is yet to be done. Regardless of
how much you have studied, it is possible that your
exam performance may not reflect your hard
work studying for hours on end. That is why we
want to give you a few tips to maximise your
performance on the day of the exam.
Exam Tip #1
Wake up early so that you do not need to rush through
having breakfast and getting ready.
Exam Tip #2
Check the venue and time
of the exam to make sure
that you have not
confused the day/time/
venue.
Exam Tip #3
Have a balanced breakfast
and eat nothing risky
(probably not the best day
to have a super-hot
curry!). Bananas are
always a good option.
Exam Tip #4
Before leaving home, check that you have everything
that you will need – ID, stationery, map to the exam
venue, etc.
Exam Tip #5
Head to the exam with plenty of time. A lot of
unexpected events can happen on your way there and
you do not want to be late!
Exam Tip #6
If there are people around who are panicking, avoid
them. They are not doing you any favour!
Exam Tip #7
Go to the toilet before the exam starts. Exams can be
quite long and there is no time to waste.
Exam Tip #8
Remember to write your name on the exam paper.
You would not believe how many people have
forgotten to do it!
Exam Tip #9
Read all the questions carefully before starting and
quickly plan how much time to allocate to each.
Exam Tip #10
Start answering the questions that you feel most
confident about. There is no need to answer the
questions in order.
Exam Tip #11
If your brain freezes, just start writing anything and
you will soon start remembering more details.
Exam Tip #12
Don’t spend more time than you planned on a
particular section/question or you might run out of
time to answer other questions and gain those extra
marks! Also, leave any questions that you are unsure
about for the end.
Exam Tip #13
Don’t be afraid to ask the examiner if you are not clear
on a question.
Exam Tip #14
Use every minute of the exam and if you have time
left, review your answers before handing back the
paper.
Exam Tip #15
Stay calm, you have done your homework and have
nothing to fear!
