Best Wishes To All STAR Fifth Formers, We Know You Will Make It
Best wishes to all STAR fifth-formers who will be sitting for their SPM beginning today.
"The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step", I can't remember where this quote originated, probably a Chinese proverb. DO YOUR BEST AND DO IT TODAY and don't forget to thank the teachers.
Examination tips:-
(1) Check you have the correct equipment with you before you leave the house (pens pencils, ruler, scientific calculator, etc)
(2) Do take a watch or clock so that you can time your answers
(3) Leave for the exam in plenty of time
(4) Look through the paper first and mark difficult questions/initial thoughts
(5) Select the questions that will best enable you to demonstrate your knowledge to the examiner
(6) Look at the marks available and read the questions carefully, following instructions given in the paper (e.g. to show all workings, word limits etc)
(7) Use the information provided on the paper (the answer's often nearly all there)
(8) Pace yourself and allow enough time to answer all the required questions
(9) Write as neatly as possible to help the examiner to mark your work. Marking untidy writing is difficult
(10) For longer answers, take a few minutes before you begin to produce a structured plan of what you are going to include in each section
(11) Allow yourself ten minutes at the end to read through your answers and correct any mistakes
(12) Cross out anything you do not want the examiner to read (e.g. an earlier answer to a question)
