Hi,
How do you study during your half yearly exams period? Like would you go over your notes or do more practice papers? What if you have exams consecutively?
I'll just throw in to add to Rui's great answer above - Try and front load things that
aren't practice exams. What I mean by that is, if you need to get notes written, essays written, quotes memorised, whatever - Get that done first! That way the practice, when it comes, is closer to the exam and so should logically help you more!
Remember to mark your practice papers and address any problem areas with textbook problems, or other further practice. No point doing the papers without learning from the mistakes you make in those papers
Try and alternate the types of study you do, to make it easier on your brain and body. A full day of English essay writing won't be as effective (imo) as doing half English, half Math. It's using different parts of your brain so will hopefully let you invest more energy
And finally, front end the exams that are first. Don't do a heap of study for your Math exam on Friday, only to try and cram over the weekend for your English exam that Monday. You should start studying in the order the exams appear, roughly, to make sure you get a roughly equal amount of study for all of them
further, give yourself a break after each exam! I always found it better to recharge for an hour or two after an exam, not run home to study immediately
Just a few tips - Hope they help!
