Top tips for A level exam success
Revision Goals
Setting targets for your revision timetable
is not only a good way to encourage yourself, but also helps to break
down the task into manageable, achievable chunks. By organising feasible
goals for each day's revision, you are much more likely to make consistent
progress.
Know what the examiners want
When the examiner sets
a question they want the student to give a certain response. If you know
what each question's phrasing requires you to do in your answer then you
can approach the exam confidently - knowing that you are fully prepared.
Remember and recall with relish
Performing well in an exam is predominantly reliant on your powers of recall related to how much revision you have done. An effective memory recall technique is to create stories about the material you are revising - personal and outrageous stories are often the best - then in the exam the associated imagery of the story will help you recall the information needed for a full answer.
Focus on success
Some people believe that your brain can be fooled into performing successfully by using positive thinking. For exam revision purposes you could imagine yourself in the exam room answering the questions with confidence and ease. The more you practice this technique the more you are likely to do it for real when the all-important time comes.
Mistakes are not negative
When you've completed your A level exam revision and you are about to sit the final papers any mistakes that happened in your GCSEs can be put firmly behind you. In fact, any problems that you encountered can be extremely useful as you can use them as a type of feedback that will encourage positivity for a better performance this time.
