At the risk of being accused of repetition I would remind you that preparing for your Mock exams is more like a marathon than sprint. Like an athlete training for an event you want to be at your best during the exams. You do not want to be burnt out through exhaustion by the time of the exams or totally unprepared. You must steadily build up your knowledge and skills in the period prior to the exams. The night before the examination is too late.

All your time must be planned – study time and recreational time. This is particularly important over the Mock exam period. IF AN EVENT IS NOT PLANNED, IT SHOULD NOT
HAPPEN. Develop a daily routine for yourself. Get your room organised. Tidy it up! Sort your notes, books and folders NOW! Disconnect the TV & games console Post your study plan on the wall. Get your resources organised. Pens, pencils, ruler, calculator, dictionary etc Get your friends organised. Agree in advance when you will take calls or access social media (i.e. between 5.30- 6.30pm only) Agree in advance when you will see them. Agree not to pressurise one another to go out. Get your family organised. Make sure your study plan is understood by all.
Plan any family commitments in advance.

GG EE TT PP RR EE PP AA RR EE DD !! Things you should do – this is what STUDYING means: 1. Collect all books/jotters/folders into SUBJECT
bundles and store in subject boxes. 2. Go through one subject at a time and sort all
notes/folders/jotters by topic. Identify which topics need the notes to be summarised and plan to do this.
3. Always tidy up and file away different subject material
IMMEDIATELY after you have used it. Do not leave piles of notes or papers from these different subjects scattered on your desk/table/study area. HAVE NO MORE THAN ONE SET OF NOTES / MATERIALS ON YOUR DESK AT ANY ONE TIME.
4. Have study notes and past papers or practise papers
ready for use.

Establish a routine Get up early at weekends. Check your plan for the day and stick to it. Don’t panic – get focussed! Share your routine with your friends and family
Perhaps you might be able to negotiate not doing household chores during your study period. Agree times with your friends when you will not phone or text one another.
Build your concentration Take 10 minutes each time you start studying to build your concentration.
Eliminate Distractions If using a PC to study or revise, make sure you are not logged in to Facebook, MSN etc. Switch off your mobile phone also! Make sure you are writing
Studying = writing, note-taking, summarising and practising.
Personal Organisation = Personal Success

THINK POSITIVE
PLAN FOR SUCCESS
Nothing can stop the man with the right mental attitude from achieving his goal; nothing on earth can help the man with the wrong mental
attitude. Thomas Jefferson
Success is the sum of small efforts, repeated day in and day out.
Robert Collier
The difference between a successful person and others is not a lack of strength, not a lack of knowledge, but rather a lack in will.
Vince Lombardi
The talent of success is nothing more than doing what you can do, well. Henry W. Longfellow
To climb steep hills requires a slow pace at first. Shakespeare
Nothing worthwhile comes easily. Work, continuous work and hard work,
is the only way to accomplish results that last. Hamilton Holt
The ability to discipline yourself to delay gratification in the short term in order to enjoy greater rewards in the long
term is the indispensable pre-requisite for success. Brian Tracy
I'm not telling you it is going to be easy - I'm telling you it's going to be worth it.
Art Williams
