With our Pukka tips, you’ll be equipped to tackle any exam that comes your way!
1. Plan, plan, plan and more planning! The key to success lies in effective time management! At the start of exam season, you should receive a schedule with all of your exam dates, make sure you jot these down to ensure you know when all of your exams are - our wall planners are great for this! Creating a study schedule will help you prioritise subjects and allocate specific time slots to each exam or subject, ensuring you’re more than prepared for the upcoming exam season. Utilise our handy weekly planner pads to plan your week and our study planner to help you keep track of your progress and stay on top of your study goals.
2. Find study methods that work for you! It's easy to think that study methods your friends use, or you see online will work for you, but that isn’t always the case. You should explore different options and find out what works best for you, whether using revision cards for quick summaries, sticky notes for summarising keywords, or project books for organising study material to ensure key information stands out. Finding a method that works for you will help you study and make it more enjoyable!
3. Self-care: A healthy body and mind are essential for optimal performance during exam season. Make sure that you prioritise self-care by getting enough sleep, staying hydrated, eating nutritious meals and incorporating regular exercise and relaxation into your routine to reduce stress and improve focus. Make sure that you have the best tools for comfortable study sessions such as our ergonomic pens , and comfortable notebooks ensuring long study sessions are as comfortable as possible.
4. Practice past papers and mock exams: Familiarise yourself with exam formats and types of questions by practising past papers and taking mock exams. These can help you get a sense of the types of questions you can expect to see in an exam helping you dentify what the marker is looking for. Ask someone else to mark your practice questions, ensuring they stick to the marking criteria and identify areas where you have succeeded and where you need to improve. Keep track of the questions and answers in past exams using our ringbinders, allowing you to flip through questions and study effectively.
5. Stay positive: Remember that mindset plays a crucial role in exam success. Stay positive and believe in your abilities, focusing on your strengths rather than your weaknesses. Surround yourself with supportive friends and family members who encourage you to do your best, helping you smash your exams!
