After the Bank Holiday, we all know what’s next - EXAMS! I’ll taking my GCSEs very soon and I’m very anxious about them because I’m one of those geeky people (we care about our school work and take it very seriously).
I’m sure there should be some readers doing their A-levels, BTECs and NVQs as well. Whatever exams you’re doing in the coming months, you will probably want to be well prepared. So here are some tips from me…

Draw a table of listing your target and predicted grades, then reflect on the work you have done this academic year. You will evetually come up with a grade you will like to achieve. Ask yourself is it realistic? Don’t try to push yourself too much, be honest with youself. If you find the subject difficult, you might need extra help/revision to assist you. You will have to lower your target grade a bit, perhaps.
- Make a revision timetable or something that will help you in progress of revision - I’m not a great fan of revision timetable.
