Let’s relive some memories from our final year exams at school, shall we? Well, I could hear a lot of you screaming “No!”, so let’s get onto the topic.
A lot of us might be reminded about our exam time struggles when we help our kids with studies for their final year exams. There is bound be a lot of tension and at times even frustration during the process. But effective management of the situation is needed. As a parent, this is the time when you can step in and ease things up for your little ones. How do you go about doing this? Read on and we’ll tell you exactly how to do it.
Keeping a cool head
Keeping a cool and calm frame of mind is the best asset while preparing for your final year exam. As a parent, you first need to maintain such a mindset first before you can train or ask your child to do the same. Getting tensed is not beneficial and will only reflect on the interest level of your kid and can take a major hit at the learning experience. Only when your kid is provided with a proper learning environment will he have the urge to learn his subjects well. Help your kid maintain a positive frame of mind to bring out the best in him.
Chart it all out
How many times do we have to be told about setting up study plans in advance before the exams? That’s because study plans are one of the basic ingredients of any effective exam strategy. What are the things to look out for while preparing your study plan? First of all, see to it that you set realistic goals while assigning time to finish portions. Be aware of your kid’s abilities and the time that he may require for specific subjects. Allot more time for subjects in which your child usually scores less or finds tough time understanding.
But does it all end with preparation of the plan? No. What counts is the implementation. Even the best of plans would be nothing but a piece of paper if one doesn’t put it into practice.
Revision is the key!
The importance of revision can never be overstated. The process can be a bit boring at times, but it shouldn’t be ignored. We can conduct revision through quizzes or other creative ways to keep the kids engaged. Another important tip is to simulate the exam environment by taking timed mock tests. This helps in making sure that your kid finishes the tests on time. We more often encounter children who don’t find time to answer all exam questions even though they know the answers to all. Time management is key during exams and mock tests are a great way of helping children manage their exam time better.

Don’t forget to live your life
As important as these tests are, you should never forget that they are just a part of life. Exam preparations should not cut you off from the world around you. In fact, a bit of fresh air and conversation can actually help refresh your mind and make it more open to learning. Sleep well and never compromise on your minimum hours of sleep. Take breaks while studying and indulge in physical activity on a regular basis.
The final year exams are a big deal to us, right? Well, maybe we should take them in a bit more easy way from now on. Well don’t trivialise them but make sure that you don’t let them get the better of you either. Spend more time with your kids and give them advice and help when required. The final exam woes can be very well combated with a bit of cooperation, effort and a positive mindset.
All the best! 🙂
