Upper School Examinations Year 11 and 12 exams commence Monday 27 May and run for two weeks.

During this time boys need only attend the exam venue when they have an exam. If students wish to see their teachers, please contact teachers prior to this to ensure they are available. Boys coming in to see a teacher or for private study must wear the College uniform While examinations can be daunting, they present us all with an opportunity to show what we know and get feedback on what we need to know. CBC Fremantle runs its exams in the same manner as the Schools Curriculum and Standards Authority.

Some Things to Remember • Know your examination timetable; place exam times on your Study Planner • So that you can study prior to exams, homework often decreases. Plan how

you will use this available time to study for all exams. Again, use your study planner.

When studying, take notes, use a highlighter or Post-its. Don’t study on your bed or in front of the television.

In order to achieve your best, you need to study at your best.

Have everything you need for an exam ready 24 hours in advance. This way you have an opportunity to get or purchase anything you may need.

Arrive at the exam venue in good time. Factor in traffic delays and the unexpected.

Be in full College uniform.

Know the exam rules – silence on entering the room, stationery in a clear container or plastic bag, use only a clear water bottle, no food.

Once in the exam room, having followed directions, pick a desk where you will feel most comfortable.

Use the reading time at the start of the exam properly. Read each question

carefully and calmly. Plan how you may approach an essay. If you have choice, think of the positives and negatives in attempting each question.

• When working, use all the available time. You should never stop looking for extra marks. Check your answers or add to some written sections. Noone should close their paper until the supervisor says the time has finished.

• Above all, be prepared. A wellprepared student soon calms down in an exam and performs well. Exam nerves affect students for the first five minutes only. Poor preparation affects students for 3 hours or however long the exam takes. You should have no excuses.

We wish all students the best of success over the examination period.
