During exam week I had two exams. One for Anatomy and Physiology and one for Health and Nutrition. Both exams accounting for 50% of each total module mark. As explained in my previous post, I spent a significant amount of time planning and revising for these exams over the Christmas holidays. When it came to exam week itself, I spent time going over previous notes and using ‘quizlets’. I took note of any questions I answered incorrectly in the quizlets to give me the opportunity to focus on those topics and become more confident in them before the exams.
I ensured on the night before both exams I revised up until a certain time and then allowed myself time to eat, drink, relax and wind down before getting a good nights sleep. I wanted to feel ready and energised for the exams and believed this was the best way to do so.
On the exam day, I made sure to set off to university an hour earlier than I usually would to allow time for delays or traffic that I could encounter on my drive. Approaching both exams I tried to remain as calm as I could knowing that I’d put in the hard work and revision over the holidays. This gave me confidence to walk into the sports hall on each exam day feeling positive.
