Preparing for the Examinations
Helpful hints

Familiarise yourself with your examination timetable.

Ensure that you know exactly

what work will be covered in each subject,

the format of each exam paper,

the time allocation,

the equipment that may be needed for the examination (e.g. calculator for
Mathematics).

Get copies of old examination papers and worksheets.

By now all your notes should be up to date and you should have all that you need to
study effectively for the examinations.

Prepare your study area. Some things to consider are:

have a good source of light

have lots of paper available

a clear work surface

coloured pens if you prefer to use colour

light or unobtrusive music if you prefer to learn with music
Keeping healthy

Eat fresh foods such as fruit and nuts. Pile up on the vegetables in the evenings and
drink plenty of water and fruit juice to keep the flu at bay. The brain needs to be fed well
in order that it performs at its optimum.

Try not to nibble on too many chocolates and sweets while studying.

That said, the odd sweet or chocolate will provide an energy boost when you feel really
tired.

Getting a good night’s rest is also important. Sleep will rejuvenate you and keep you
going.
Grade 10 Mock Examination Booklet September 2016
Page |5
Devising a Revision Timetable

If you plan your revision carefully you will enjoy the feeling of being well-prepared for the
examinations, secure in the knowledge that you have done your best and have covered
all the work.

Create a calendar for this purpose, using bright colours/larger paper etc.

Start by marking in the dates and times of your examinations.

Shade in the dates and times when you know you have other commitments, e.g. sports
fixtures/family function.

Work out how much time you would need per section per subject. Remember to spend
more time on those subjects you find more difficult.

Using a pencil, begin to draw up your revision timetable by writing in the subject and the
sections that you wish to cover each day.

You could leave a revision time blank each week, as a “safety net” for work not covered
as planned. This may be as a result of those unforeseen circumstances that make life
interesting.

Do not get stressed out if you don’t stick rigidly to the timetable. Sometimes you start
by expecting to cover too much at one time. The main idea is to get you to focus on the
work that needs to be covered and to work towards a goal.

Be sure to timetable rest and relaxation.

Before changing subjects, take a longer break of about 20 – 30 minutes and try to get
outside or do something different.

Study Methods
Each one of you will have your own method of studying and it is important that you feel
comfortable with your chosen style. It is equally important that you admit if your method
has not worked in the past.
Here are some tips that you may like to try out. These are tried and tested methods.
 Start by reading through a section from beginning to end. This will give you an overview
of what is to come. Focus on headings and pictures and diagrams.
 Ask questions as to the content of the section (why, what, when, where, how and
who?). This will help to get your mind in touch with the main areas within each section.
(E.g.: What do I need to know about this topic? What exactly is this text about? How
does this section link up with what I have just studied?)
 Re-read the passage with the aim to answering your questions. Look up words you do
not understand, refer closely to graphs and diagrams, highlight important ideas in
colour, etc. Do not try to make notes at this stage.
 Aim to check that you have understood the work. Think about the passage and focus
on key points. Re-read the passage making notes on the relevant material. This may
take the form of block notes or diagrammatic notes e.g. mind maps/spider diagrams.
 It is a good idea to redo Mathematics exercises and worksheets as well as work through
past papers.
 Diagrams can become excellent forms of summary in subjects such as Geography and
Biology. A diagram should be drawn clearly with large labels for easy identification.
 When encouraging a difficulty concept, try to break it up into smaller units and talk your
way through the steps of the problem.
 If you have difficulty remembering something, pin up key words on your bedroom wall or
cupboard door as a constant reminder. Each time you walk past the word, stop and ask
yourself a question or two about it so as to trigger off a response.
 In language, you need to understand the rule to apply it, e.g. rules for the verlede tyd.
 Review. Aim to ensure that you remember what you have learned by doing review
worksheets/past papers/testing yourself with questions that you set or working with a
friend and testing each other verbally.
Just before the examination
 Get a good night’s sleep.
 Have a good breakfast.
 Arrive at the venue with time to spare.
 Make sure you have the right equipment, tissues, watch, etc.
During the examination
 Don’t rush into answering questions.
 Read the instructions at the beginning to ensure that you know how to answer all the
questions and how many questions to answer.
 Read through the questions carefully.
 If there is a choice of questions make your choice carefully. Underline key words in the
questions.
 Stick to the time plan given to you by your teacher.
 At the end of the examination, if you have time, read through your paper to check that
you have answered all the questions.

Revision techniques






Prepare a study timetable to ensure you are studying well in advance.
The best way to prepare is to work through past papers under the correct time
pressure without notes. This can be unpleasant if you don’t feel like you know
enough of your work but it is the best way to distinguish between the work you know
well from the work you don’t.
Once you have done this, try to answer questions you have left out or not
completed by using your notes and textbook.
Know all your layouts and formula.
Read all the questions carefully before you start writing and note the “easy” and
“doable” ones. Do those questions first.
You are only given a certain amount of space for each question so use that space
wisely. Practice writing neatly and logically.
When answering the question paper







Be extremely neat. Make life for the examiner as easy as possible.
Do the easiest questions first. Well answered questions help to build confidence.
Do not leave out any questions.
Time yourself.
Show all your workings.
Always mention the formula used, if you have used one.
In the case of ratios, for example, you must be accurate when giving your final
answer. Make it clear whether the answer is a percentage, for example, or a
number of times, a number of days etc.

Structure of Examination
2 day practical examination (4 hours per day)
Content
After choosing one question from the list of examination topic areas supplied by
Cambridge in the beginning of Term 3, students create two A2 pieces under examination
conditions. Students must make sure that both their Mock and Final Examination pieces
answer the question and conclude their new portfolios that they’ve developed in the term.
NB!! All reference material (photos / studies / term paintings etc.) must be stuck up before
hand and must be brought on the first day of the final examination (and kept in the venue
throughout the examination period) or the work will not be submitted to Cambridge.
Therefore, students may need to stay after their Mock Exam to finish sticking up their work
if they are unable to complete this in the allocated time given in class.
Revision techniques
They will do planning for the examination throughout the term and have this portfolio with
them throughout both exam periods. The September Mock Examination will act as the
main support piece for their Final Examination in October.
Resources available to you:
Art kits to be brought in to the examination. All other general materials will be supplied.
Students must make sure they have all their reference material with them at the start of the
examination.

Revision techniques
Reading:
 You should read, as widely and as often as you can – the aim is to know what as
many different forms of written English might sound like.
 You should try to learn the meanings of common prefixes so that you can guess
meanings of words.
 You should practise summarising passages. This is a specific and almost scientific
skill, which once gained, makes it easily possible to get full marks.
 You can practise turning passages into news reports; they have a particular style
and structure which are different from any other kind of writing
 Practise writing formal letters; it is highly likely you will be asked to write a letter on
either the Reading or Writing paper. Letters to people in official positions and
people you do not know well typically adopt a formal style and polite tone, and they
are structured in three sections: i) the topic of the letter/reason for writing it; ii)
background information, arguments and factual details; iii) request or suggestions
for future action.
Writing:
 Practise joining simple sentences into complex sentences, using a range of
connectives and participles. Above all avoid using ‘and’, ‘but’ and ‘so’.
 Practise varying your sentences to develop your own style. You do not want your
sentences all to follow the same formula and start in the same way.
 Learn the correct version of commonly misspelt words, which you know you are
likely to need to use e.g. separate, definitely, business, opportunity, surprise,
privilege.
 Practise using different forms of punctuation to add variety to your writing style.
 Try writing a plan for a story, then experimenting with different ways to end it. DO
NOT end the story by waking up from a dream - that just means that as a writer you
could not think of an ending to explain what had happened in your story in any other
way – a sure sign of poor planning!
