Exam Prep

It is that time of the year again – crunch time. Matriculants are busy with mock exams, also getting into a tizz about the final exams. Grade 9’s are also getting themselves in a frenzy about their exams. We offered a few tips to get you a bit more relaxed about writing exams, the first of which is get enough rest. Your body functions best when it is not tired, and your brain will retain more information. Furthermore, if you walk into an exam feeling tired then your brain will be in sleep mode, meaning that late night cramming session will definitely not pay off. Secondly, do not do marathon study sessions – take a 15 minute break every 45 minutes. Use this break to stretch your legs, refill your glass of water or juice and have a snack. Also remember to get some air.

Don’t forget to tune into Bush Radio every Tuesday and Thursday for matric revision sessions. The shows are between 16h00 and 17h00 and cover the exam structure, thereby providing useful hints on how to study and what’s required of you for each question.
