What YOU Can do to Maximise Your Term 3 External Preparation
✅ Academic Preparation
- Review Mock Papers: Thoroughly Don’t just look at your marks. Go through every question you got wrong and ask: Why did I lose marks? Was it content, misunderstanding the question, or exam technique?
- Make a Mistake Log: Create a list of recurring errors (e.g., forgetting units in physics, mixing up alkane vs alkene reactions, misreading probability questions). Revisit this list weekly — it’s often more valuable than doing another practice paper.
✅ Exam Technique
- Refine Timing Strategy: Decide in advance how much time you’ll spend per mark. Practice skipping and coming back to tough questions — a crucial skill for maximising marks.
- Use QCAA Criteria Sheets: For extended responses (Bio, Chem, Physics, English), actually mark yourself using QCAA criteria. Train yourself to write to the criteria, not just what you “know.”
✅ Mindset & Routine
- Build Consistency, Not Cramming: Shift into a routine of 1–2 hrs daily revision, with spaced repetition. This will carry smoothly into Term 4 — no need for 6-hr cramming.
- Reflect on Mock Mindset: How did you feel before/during/after mocks? Stressed, calm, panicked? Use that reflection to improve your exam-day rituals (breathing, sleep, routines).
✅ Support & Community
- Ask for Feedback: Talk to teachers about your mock paper and ask: “What 1–2 things would boost me by 5 marks?” Apply that feedback systematically.
- Collaborate with Peers: Form a study circle where each person “teaches” a tricky concept. Teaching = mastery.
