Exam Skills.Preparation
Before an exam • Don’t rush - allow yourself plenty of time for your preparation. • Get a good night’s sleep – if you’re still tired, you’ll have a short attention span and
won’t be focussed. • Go to bed early, get up early - avoid late night revision and allow yourself time in the
morning to check you have everything you need.• Get your equipment ready – make sure you know everything you will need. • Drink water – you don’t want to start feeling thirsty in the middle of an exam.
At the start of an exam Plan your time – before you write anything, read calmly through the whole paper and check how many marks are allocated for each question. Use this to plan your time and don’t rush - you might miss something.
Understand the question – read each question carefully, check all the instructions and underline any keywords that indicate how you should answer.
Understand keywords – the following keywords are commonly used in exams - you must know their meaning to answer successfully:
Analyse – examine and explain the main parts. Compare – point out both similarities and differences. Contrast – show how things are different. Criticise – examine and judge the value of something. Define – give a short statement of the specific meaning of a term or word. Describe – say or write in detail what someone or something is like; e.g. colour, size, quantity, feel, appearance, smell etc. Discuss – debate advantages and disadvantages. Evaluate – show how well something has been done or how important it is by giving reasons and evidence. Explain – make something clear or easy to understand by describing or giving information about it and supporting this with reasons. Illustrate – give clear examples which help to describe, explain or confirm. Outline – give an overview of the main facts or ideas. Prove – support with facts, figures, evidence and examples giving references where applicable. State – present something in clear, short form. Summarise – give a brief account of the main points together with a conclusion. Trace – describe the development of something, or the order in which events happen.
GOOD LUCK!

• Be afraid to speak to UCAS or universities with any questions.
• Go on holiday on, or straight after results day!
Your Personal Statement
Your Personal Statement is an important part of your UCAS application, it’s your chance to distinguish yourself from other candidates. Universities are interviewing fewer students and rely heavily on Personal Statements. Therefore it’s crucial your Personal Statement reflects your motivation and commitment, as well as showing your personality. Written correctly, it will help clarify the picture a university admissions tutor has of you and make them want to meet you or offer you a place!
Writing your Personal Statement Writing a Personal statement is a key skill. There’s no such thing as the perfect Personal Statement; it’s unique to each applicant. Your Personal Statement should include your reasons for choosing the course and an outline of your knowledge and experience of the subject applied for.
Universities routinely check for plagiarism, don’t directly copy your statement from the internet.
It’s important your Personal Statement is always accurate and up to date.
Top Tips:Do• Show your tutor a draft copy first
• Be honest - you could be asked questions about your Personal Statement at an interview.
• Be positive - start with your strengths, focus on your enthusiasm for the course
• Keep on topic - demonstrate how you’ve researched the course and why you’re suitable for it
Don’t• Overcomplicate - use simple words and clear sentences.
• Use cliches - “Since I was a child”, “I’ve always had a passion”, it’s been seen a hundred times before.
• Use inspirational quotes - universities want to know what you have to say, not somebody else
• Exaggerate what you’ve done or achieved

• Work-based projects – carried out at an employers’ premises
• Work placement – shorter than a sandwich placement

Writing your CV Follow these tips to help you write and present your CV, they’ll help you create the right impression and stand out from the rest.
• Keep it simple. Your choice of typeface and layout are key to making sure a would-be employer carries on reading your CV - simple formats work best.

• Your CV should demonstrate your unique mix of skills and experience. Make sure you include examples of success & achievements in your studies & non academic work, eg part time work, voluntary work.
• Don‘t be generic - work out who or which industry sector your CV is destined for and tailor it to highlight the right aspects of your experience for them.
• Check and check again, avoid errors at all costs. This means spelling errors, dates which conflict with one another and incorrect email address and phone numbers.
