Last Minute.Com DON’T PANIC HELP Last Minute Revision Before The Exam Think POSITIVE !!! The Last Minute In Today’s Session...

The bad news is that trying to revise at the last minute is not advisable. Revision works best when it’s well planned and given enough time. There are no short cuts to be recommended. Help - I’ve Left It Too Late The good news is that there are a few tips which just might help if you have only a short time to prepare. They are more likely to pay off if you already have a reasonable background knowledge of the course

Work out how much you know already. Then focus your attention on the parts of the course where you are weakest, not the bits you know already. Talk to someone who understands the course (ideally a teacher). Then focus on those key points. Get the big picture first and avoid concentrating too much on the detail, if you don’t have the time. Don’t try to make loads of notes last minute - Reduce the time spent preparing your own revision materials – go online to find some or buy a good revision guide. Things you can do…. And if you’re really stuck …

A couple for the truly desperate (and not really recommended!): 1.Make use of creative thinking in the exam: you may just strike it lucky if you’re able to interpret exam questions well and write sensible sounding answers. 2.When it comes to the exam, if in doubt – guess! In most (but not all) exams – you are not penalised for getting the answer wrong.

Last Minute Revision … Can you think of some suggestions for things you might do on the day of the exam to fine tune all that you’ve revised. But remember – not everyone takes the same approach so you need to think about which strategy will work for you.

Some Ideas …

And a Few More …

And a Few Maybe Nots…

On the day… Get a good night’s sleep Check the date, time and location of the exam Make sure I can get to the exam on time without any hassle (for example, get money for the bus/taxi) Eat enough (but not too much) of the right food Prepare all the equipment and stationery I need Prepare the revision materials I want to have with me for checking before the exam Think positively about myself and the exam

Be Positive - Be A Success In the world of sport it’s quite common for people to talk about how they ‘see’ their performance – they visualise what is going to happen, how they are going to deal with it, and how they are going to succeed. There is evidence that positive thinking of this kind can help you feel more confident and prepared for exams. This can reduce stress and lead to better performance.

GOOD LUCK !
