It’s not long now until thousands of students take their GCSEs and A Level exams. Whether you are one of them or just learning for fun, these tips will come in handy.
Lights, camera, action! Record your voice or film yourself whilst you are practising for your written examination. You can then play it back and see what your weak and strong point are.
Post it! If you have trouble remembering certain words, use post it notes and place them around your house in strategic places like on your fridge door, behind the loo door, on your bedside table. Everywhere!
Practise, practise, practise. And then practise a bit more. This is the secret to success.
Make mistakes. Learn from them and improve. Children make mistakes when they are learning their own language. Allow yourself to fail so you can learn how to say it right next time.
Get a tutor. Getting a few lessons with a native tutor prior to your exam will improve your confidence and will help you consolidate and reinforce all you have been learning. Just remember to choose a professional, experienced tutor.
