1- I would make sure I don’t panic study right before the exam as that will cause me to panic

2 - if possible to not have children screaming during exams and have the Math exam not being the last exam as people are tired

I think the math exam on the last day is quite good since it is the hardest. You have more time to study

Something I would do differently next time:

Trust in my preparation and not stress out excessively

Something that could be improved:

The seating arrangements as sometimes it was distracting to have a person directly opposite you, and also fixing the ventilation fan in the exam hall which made a clattering noise as it was a bit distracting

2) we were given way too much work during exam season. We all wanted to dedicate time to study but it was very challenging given that we had multiple assessments at the same time. I believe everyone wants to do well but I also think a lot of us don’t want to loose our sanity, sleep, downtime, etc in the process. It is also a little bit contradictory for the school to make our schedule like that because they advocate not cramming work. I hope this is changed for next year grade 11’s. Besides that, I think the support system is exceptional and I feel grateful for that.

I think i should try revise and practice more instead of trying to cram learning all the content.
I think practicing past papers would be very helpful to improve.

1) I would’ve started studying 3 weeks before even if it was only for 20 minutes per day at the beginning. Cramming hardly ever works for me and this time i crammed and it wasn’t the best idea….

Personal reflection: I wish I had a better sleeping schedule during the exam week. I would stress and panic during the exam or before the exam.

Back in my old school, the teacher and the whole class used to revise the syllabus in the last week before EOY exams, but we did not revise the whole syllabus instead we just started new topics or did some practice worksheets.

Another suggestion is nkt to have deadlines before the exam like the TOK exhibition and IAs.
