Expert tips for exam preparation

While speaking to Briefly News, teacher Tasmin De Klerk told the publication that preparing for an exam helps one understand the material better, which will boost confidence, reduce stress, and lead to better performance and higher scores.

The educator suggested the following:

"I would suggest that students stay organised, utilise their time wisely, keep study sessions short but effective, and ask as many questions when they have doubts about examinations or do not understand an area in the subject/ module being taught."

De Klerk went on to add:

"Students should remember that there is no such thing as a stupid question; educators/lecturers are there to help you as much as they can and, more importantly, go over past papers. I motivate students to welcome challenges, maintain their curiosity, and pursue lifelong learning...And lastly, reward yourself, therefore."
