Default Exams!!!

Hello again!
I am in year 10 and I am doing mid term exams next week.
These are the first exams I have ever done and am kind of nervous about it. I am doing them for history (which I suck at) Science and maths (which I am reasonably good at). I have been doing revision for the past week and last week. We have done a fair bit of revison in maths, a bit in sicnce and have just started in hisotry in class. Hisotry revison has really helped me and we still have another 3 hours of hisotry in school before the exams so hopefully I will get all that I need to know down.

SSSSSSOOOOOOO yeah... I will be doing a few hours of revison this weekend and hopefully I will be ok. (I am a very good student, I always hand assigemnts up on time and do my homework and pay attention in class, HONEST!)

A lot of you will have done exams berfore so maybe some tips for my first time other than revise?

not sure what you mean by first time taking exams... as in taking it in a huge hall with a lot of people you don't know?

If that's the case, you don't really have much to worry about... just revise all the history material well, make sure you have at least 3/4 of the thing in your head. As for anything in the science department( math, physics, chemistry...), you simply have to understand them... cause no such thing as a way to memories those subjects like a robot. Exams or tests are the very same, you simply have to study more( but then again, where i come from... the study method IS quite outdated)

Umm... I should of explained. Exams are like a very big very long test and instead of just covering one topic from the subject it covers evertything you have learnt so far and thus takes much preparation. It also affects a your grade. People in your yr level all take it at the sme time (except if they have diffrent subjects) and they go for about 2 hours.

I did about a hlaf hour of study yesterday (it was friday afternoon) and 45 mins before I am going to do some more later.

ok then, my advices stay the same( imo, 45 mins-2 hrs before the test is the time to read through everything you've memorized, in other words, the time to review the reviewed)
