STUDY AND EXAM PREPARATION STRATEGIES
Winning Strategies in the Classroom -
A Strategy for Reading Textbooks

 

  1. Don’t let unrealistic expectations of your child colour your view of his/her results. Are the results really ‘bad’ benched against the rest of the level or just ‘bad’ by your own standards? Be fair in your judgement.

  2. Don’t allow your hopes and fears for them become entangled with a wish to relive your own triumphs or make up for your own disappointments.

  3. Try to separate what you might have wished for yourself at their age from what they wish for themselves now. Support them in their dreams rather than pressurize them to do what you want.

  4. After months of work and anticipation, every member of the family will feel stressed. Be patient and understanding.

  5. Discuss with your child what results both of you anticipate and make sure you have the same realistic expectations. Reassure them that failing an exam doesn’t make them a failure. Encourage them to talk and reassure them that you are behind them and love them whatever the results.

  6. Have a contingency plan for what to do if results aren’t as good as you had hoped. Know who to call at the school for advice or support. Help your child work out a feasible study plan for the next year.

  7. Everyone loses out at some time or other and failing or not doing well in an exam isn’t the end of the world. Look for positive ways forward, and be behind them 100 per cent.
