All the Best!

Hi,

I know barely anyone will be visiting or contributing to this blog cause of the impending "disaster"? Nah, dun think of it this way. Pls be yourself when you go into the exam hall. Dun freak out and then waste all your hardwork. After all, you look back, the O levels, you had the same feeling too, so no diff lah. You all scored well. Top 10% of cohort, so do it again :)

A few tips I learnt and with some of my friends also...

1. Have plenty of rest before the exams.
Do not mug too much on the day before, it doesn't help cramming info last minute.

2. Condition yourself for the papers.
Believe your timetable is out, so especially during the heavy test week whereby you have 3 papers a day, plenty of rest, and relax......

3. Music Therapy.
It helps. Bring along your I-Pod, mp3 player/hp and listen to music which will soothe your soul or fire you up for the paper. Research has shown that it helps you to concentrate better/increase your alertness. Depending on which paper of course...

4. Dun think about the past.
Dun let one paper demoralise you. Its not wise to discuss too much about a paper when it has already been submitted, then dwell on your mistakes. Will only lead to more errors in future papers.

5. Self-belief.
Examiners are human too. Doesn't mean you dun know how to do the question means you give up. Look for common patterns. If all else fails, scribble something on it. It may help, and the examiner may very well be convinced :)

Yep, with that, I can only send via sms and wish here in the blog...all the best. You can do it, so long you believe in yourself.
