Exam season is upon us, here are some helpful tips for our Language students at Shalom to consider 

Helpful tips on how to reduce stress and prepare for exams

Be prepared

• Read/write everything three times as this also helps to commit the info to memory.
• Use your Trial Exam results to focus on what you need to study.
• Use previous exam papers to get a feel for what to expect.
• Ask friends what they are doing that is helping with their studies or friends who did it last year.
• You need to study within 24 hours of the exam on that subject to retain more info.
• Write things in coloured texta that you have trouble remembering (such as names and dates)

Day of the exam

Do your usual routine, for example, have what you normally eat for breakfast. Take some water and a healthy snack (if allowed) to the exam.

And finally,

If the stress is getting to you it will prevent you from studying effectively and confidently - so ask for help from Headspace, a counsellor, a professional, or your helpful teacher. More tips to reduce stress and prepare for exams can be found here.
