One thing I often hear from students is that although they study for an exam, when they get in to it, they go blank.
One piece of advice I would offer to a student heading in to exams? Read the questions carefully, try to relax and if you can’t answer a question easily, mark it and go back to it later. Well, thats three pieces of advice and I know there’s heaps more!
The biggest hurdle I have with exams is bridging the gap between the theory I’ve learnt and then putting it in to practice in a practical exam while being watched. I hate being watched! I’ve had to overcome that a bit this year because Vet Nursing is very practically based. In the end, it was practice and repetition doing something I didn’t like that improved my practical exam skills. As I became more familiar with the process and had more faith in my ability and knowledge, I began to relax and find the exams easier. I still hate being watched though!
