For Your Child: Key Exam Revision Tips
Contributed by TLL Alumnus, Kate Lim Ji Won
1. Summarise Your Revision
Create a cheat sheet with a comprehensive overview of the topic covered
Be familiar with the expected approach needed to secure marks for each type of question
Practise presenting your answer in an accurate and organised manner
Read through model essays or examples of answers to structured questions
2. Practice Makes Perfect
Make links between ideas you’ve learnt
Practise a wide range of questions to solidify concepts you’ve learnt
Attempt more tricky application questions, especially for Maths and Science
3. Believe in Yourself
Being nervous can cripple your self-confidence and may undermine your ability to tackle challenging questions
Try not to overthink or question what you already know
For Parents: Helping Your Child Prepare for the Exams
1. Manage Your Child’s Schedule
Keep your child on track with what was planned
Ensure revision schedules are not too packed as this might create unnecessary stress or pressure on your child
Remind your child to maintain healthy sleeping hours and regulate their daily routines for optimal performance during exams in the morning
2. Keeping Your Child Healthy
Prevent your child from snacking on junk food as they study
Prepare healthy snacks such as nuts or fruit
Ensure your child eats healthily and at regular meal times as far as possible
