Hooray, it’s the holidays! We are on our first break of Term 3, and finally, things seem to be moving back to what we can consider, the ‘norm’ now. Schools have reopened and now students are more focused on preparing for the exams that they intend to take this year. The preparations for PSLE and O level exams have certainly seen a resurgence in the past few weeks. As students move ahead with their exam preparation, there is one area which merits discussion – practice.
Identifying Your Errors
‘Practice makes perfect’. We are all familiar with these wise words that highlight the importance of practice. But how often do we put these enlightening words into action? Practice is a vital element while preparing for any exam.
Students, remember – understand the question pattern or what the questions require of you. Revising through past year papers is a good way to start. But this alone will never suffice. In order to gauge your level of preparedness, you need to practice some questions that are likely to come out. Teachers may be helping you to ‘spot’ such questions, so be sure to pay attention in class! Practising questions or taking mock tests early on can help you chart out better preparation strategies.
Importance of taking mock papers
This brings us to the main point of this article. You may be thinking, What about practising full-fledged mock question papers? This is something that can offer immense benefits to students. There is no better way than this to get a somewhat accurate feel of the examination before the actual exams.
Acing Time Management
Practising mock papers also helps you improve your time management skills for the examination. Time management is a crucial factor when it comes to taking tests. So what if you know how to answer all the questions? What benefit will that be if you are unable to complete writing all your answers within the stipulated time? Practice mock tests with timers and analyse the sections or questions where you end up wasting time. Remember – practice makes perfect! With more practice and understanding of the mistakes that you make, you can definitely beat the clock and complete your exam well within the allocated time limit given!
Best Way To Revise
The more you revise, the more mastery you gain over the syllabus. But doesn’t revision get boring at times? Mock tests bring in an element of challenge and serve the purpose of added revision without making you feel bored. While you are studying fresh topics within the syllabus, you can take mock tests to refresh the topics that you had studied earlier. You can take up online preparatory classes or subscribe to online revision packs offered by professional training centres that can complement your learning.
Choosing the best tests
Today, there are tons of e-learning tools that students can access. When it comes to mock tests as well, there are a number of options from which you can choose. This is both good as well as bad for students. Why do we say so?
It is good because students now have increased scope for choice. It is counterproductive in the sense that students might get confused and may not be able to identify the best tests. Speak to others who have taken mock tests before. Do a bit of groundwork before you zero in and pick your choice.
Many students already have the habit of taking mock tests. For those who don’t, this is the best time to start! In your exam preparation, leave no stone unturned. A good amount of practice will surely help you reap immense benefits. Prepare well, stay confident, take a chill pill and ace the exams with ease!
