Set yourself up a calendar…
Make the blocks as long as you can.
Consider maybe having small breaks
in the middle of a longer block.
I used to use three-hour blocks
with a 5 min break each hour.

1. Divide each day into three blocks – morning, afternoon and night
2. Put in your exams
3. Put in other commitments
4. Total up remaining blocks
5. Start by giving each subject equal time
6. Adjust as needed from one subject to another until right for you
7. Schedule these blocks into the calendar
8. Try to have at least one block for each subject early (to get help)
9. Stick to your schedule – take it one day (or one block) at a time
10. Go well in each exam!
During the last few classes:
• Make sure you know the ‘structure’ of the exam etc
• Watch out for any tips or hints from the teacher
• Pay close attention to any revision exercises
During the exam block:
• Get enough sleep, rest – never ‘pull an all-nighter’
• Eat well
• Keep to your plan to lower anxiety
• Do a little bit extra if you can – the ‘feel good factor’
On the day of an assessment:
• Make sure you have ALL of the required equipment
• Plan to arrive early
• Eat well – avoid high sugar, high fat, high caffeine
If you need help with any of this, you only have to ask…
