What we have covered so far  Setting the scene  Exam Timetable  Studying – Notes/Targets  Type of Learner – Visual/Auditory/Kinesthetic  Memory aids  The internet

Night Before  Double check the time and place of the exam  Clothes  Don’t stay up all night ‘cramming’. You need to be relaxed, fresh and alert.  Get organised by packing your bag with: Pens/Pencils/Calculator/Notes/Water  Alarm clock/Sleep

On the Day  Give yourself enough time  Breakfast  Get to where the exam is early  Be positive  It’s about what you’ve done not everyone else  Don’t take in anything you shouldn’t

Exam Tips  Write down any important information, that you may forget, at the beginning of the exam.  Read the questions. Make sure you know what is being asked.  Assume the examiner knows nothing.  Show your working  Watch your handwriting.  Don’t panic if your mind goes blank.  Use all your time.

Question Time  When did you start studying?  How did your prelim performance compare with your final exam result?  Do I go to tutor on the day of my exam?  What subject was hardest to study for? Why?  How did you study for National 5’s when there wasn’t a lot of resources?  How did you study? Have you changed this now you are in 5 th year?

Good Luck!
