7 Tips to Revise for Exams

Exams are really stressful, and no matter how good you are at a subject, you can find yourself overwhelmed by the amount of revision needed.
Whatever your age, the secret to exam success is preparation. You must start early!

1. Plan your time
Look at your exam timetable and plan out the weeks and days ahead to make the most of your free time and allocate revision time sensibly.

2. Create a Study space
If you want to help your concentration, you need a place that is free from distractions.

3. Take a break
Experts suggest that you need a 5 or 10 min break every hour for your brain to retain information and work effectively. Use your breaks to grab a healthy snack, make a drink or get outside for some fresh air.

4. Relax
It is normal to feel stressed when under pressure to perform in your exams. You can help reduce the effects of stress by introducing relaxation techniques.

5. Use some Revision Strategies
Experiment to find out what strategies are helpful to you.

• Highlighter pens, paper, cards and post-it notes are great tools.
• Flashcards: Summarise key points onto cards to use as memory prompts. You can take these with you to use at any time.
• Memory aids: If you need to memorise some facts or rules, you can help yourself with diagrams, flow charts or mind maps.
• Practice Questions: These help you get into the swing of the exam format and practise under timed conditions.
• Revise with a friend: Sometimes, it can be helpful to study with other people, especially where you can talk through complex concepts to make them more straightforward or quiz each other to test your memory. Choose your revision buddy wisely!

6. Last-minute Revision
The night before the exam is too late to learn anything new, but you can pull out your flashcards to review some essential information.

Once you have refreshed your memory, put your revision material away so you can take some time to relax and get a good night’s sleep.

7. On the Day
Set your alarm to get up in plenty of time to eat a good breakfast. You don’t want to turn up stressed or hungry.

Remind yourself about the exam format before you go into the exam to be familiar with any special guidelines. Check you have all the right equipment for the exam, including the right pen colour.

When you enter the room, focus on breathing naturally to combat any nerves. Check you can see the clock to keep an eye on your time. When it is time to start, spend some time reading the instructions carefully, so you answer the right questions. It’s easy to get this wrong when you are anxious.

Although it seems like the most important thing right now, you can only do your best when you are in the exam room. Try not to dwell on it once you have finished, as it can affect your performance in your other exams.

Good Luck, Guys!

Basketball

HTS vs Unitas 33-9

In what should be a rivalry between neighbouring schools, the match didn't disappoint. The match was full of jubilation from both ends of the court but most importantly was the display of passion, discipline and work ethic.

Coach Moloi said: "School athletes want to display their talents and we as teachers, coaches and managers, we have a responsibility to provide a safe, equal platform."

HTS vs Leseding 22-5

Congratulations to our basketball team. You did your best as a team and you made the school proud!

Houding is 'n bepalende faktor

Thabo Tladi, kaptein van die tweede rugbyspan en Oratile Maneng, afrigter van genoemde span is baie positief oor hulle span se vordering.

Op 'n vraag aan hulle kaptein of hulle 'n kans staan teen die ander skole, was sy antwoord dat die vraag verkeerd gevra word.

Eintlik moet daar gevra word of die ander skole 'n kans teen hulle het ... Dit is die tipe houding wat 'n sportman nog ver in die lewe sal bring.

Loopbaandag

Die keuse van 'n loopbaan begin reeds baie vroeg in 'n kind lewe. Onbewustelik soek 'n kleuter na 'n rolmodel en soms word hulle oorvloei met al die indrukke wat hulle op TV sien, by kleuterskole hoor, asook die gesprekke tussen ouer boeties en sussies, en gesprekke tussen ouers en grootmense en so word jou eerste loopbaankeuse gebore, wat nog dikwels en drasties gaan verander.

Bewusmaking van loopbaankeuses is so belangrik en vandag se foto'tjies wat op Tekkie Tonic se tafel beland het, spreek boekdele. 

Die eerste afleiding wat gemaak kan word, is dat die ouer(s) se beroep 'n indruk op Luan gemaak het. Sy pa is sy rolmodel en daarom wil hy graag 'n meneer word.

Die tweede baie belangrike afleiding is dat regte omgee-onderwysers gebore word en reeds vroeg al besef dat dit my loopbaankeuse is. Sterkte met jou skoolloopbaan, Luan, jy gaan nog baie van plan verander, maar 'n mens kom dikwels terug na jou eerste keuse! Hoop jy het jou dag geniet!! 

Mojalefa's passion is community work!

A  few questions for the young man on this topic:

Why are you passionate about helping the community?

It will enrich your life, familiarize you with your community, and connect you to people and ideas that will positively impact your perspective for the rest of your life. Helping your community is an opportunity for you to grow as a person, to better understand how you fit into the world around you.

What motivates you to work community?

Well, people volunteer for a range of different reasons. Some of these reasons include making a difference to the community they live in, a chance to make new friends, building and strengthening new and existing social networks.

What are your goals of community service?

To foster a sense of belonging and togetherness among individuals within the community who are in the vicinity, and to nurture and apply the knowledge, skills and practice of civic values within each individual.

Baie geluk, Meneer!

Baie geluk met jou honneursgraad in onderwysbestuur, mnr. Johan Herbst. Tekkies is sommer baie trots op jou! 'n Graad wat 'n mens in die steelure van die nag moes doen, omdat jy altyd jou beste by die werk gee, ekstra klasse oor naweke en vakansies gee en dan ook nog betrokke is by buitemuurs, vra meer as net die ekstra myl. In die klein ure van die nag, as almal al slaap, is dit net jy, jou boeke en jou bekommernisse en wonder jy dikwels hoekom jy dit aan jouself doen. Maar op 'n dag soos vandag, as jy die toga om jou skouers hang en die graad in jou hande vashou, dan weet jy dat die min slaap, die baie sweet en die stilstand in jou sosiale lewe deur en deur die moeite werd was. Ons hoop dat hierdie maar net die begin is van nog 'n string grade en dat dr. Herbst eendag vir ons die vinger op die onderwyswond kan lê. Baie geluk!!

Viva werkersdag!! Viva matrieks!

Matrieks, julle is in die wonderlike posisie dat julle Maandag kan werk. Luister mooi na die naam van die dag - w e r k e r s d a g!! Dit beteken julle hoef nie skool toe te kom nie, maar jy kan voluit voor jou boeke sit en alles wat jy agter is, inhaal! Jy kan hersiening doen en jouself emosioneel regkry vir die komende eksamen!! Moenie hierdie dag mors op sosiale plesiere nie - behalwe as jy nie belangstel in goeie punte nie, dan doen jy absoluut niks op werkersdag nie!!
