Mindset
The right mindset is crucial for effective study. It is possible to do well with focused effort on weak areas, despite potential frustration. Every day and moment is an opportunity to improve, regardless of how close the exams are. A personal anecdote about a biology CSEC exam illustrates the importance of continuous effort. Maintaining balance is also key, including setting distraction-free study times, holding oneself accountable, getting enough rest, and continuing extracurricular activities for mental health. Prioritize rest, especially the day before the exam, to ensure optimal performance.
Targeted Study
Effective study should align with examiners' expectations. Just as competition entrants need to understand judging criteria, students should understand how exams are graded. CXC provides resources like mark schemes and sample answers on CXC store to help students understand what examiners expect.
