Year 12

Post Exam

Congratulations to all Yr 12 students on their excellent behaviour and conduct during the examinations. It is now an important time for students to reflect on their effort, study routine and examination results from this Half Yearly Examination period. The Trial Examinations are only 12 weeks away and it is essential for all students to be studying with maximum efficiency to receive the results that they are capable of. Students will be asked to reflect on this during Pastoral Care time and it would be beneficial for all students to continue this discussion at home.

Below are some sample questions from Dr Prue Salter’s Study Skills Handbook on how to make the most of feedback from your teachers when a test is returned:

• What specific feedback did your teacher give you and how should you use that feedback?
• Will you be tested on these topics again or are they important for overall understanding in this subject?
• Which areas do you need to ask for help on as you still don’t understand?
• Which questions from your test paper should you re-do? Re-do them!
• Should you re-write any questions or essays and re-submit?
• Was there any revision work you did not complete before the test?
• What topic areas do you need to review and revise, what should you do to address these?
• Are there topics you still need to finalise study notes on?
• Are there sections of your study notes that you need to re-do?
• Did you plan to give yourself enough time to revise?
• What changes do you need to make in the way you study for that subject next time?
• Are there students who did well that you can talk with to find what they did differently?
