 GRADE 7 COMPOSITE EXAMINATION
STUDY TIPS
BELIEVE IN YOURSELF

The first and most important thing is for you to believe in yourself and your
potential. It doesn’t matter how you have performed in previous tests and
exams,what matters now is that you believe in yourself and you are willing to
take the necessary steps to passing the exam. Remind yourself everyday that
you are smart and believe that you will get good results.

STUDY YOUR NOTES THE RIGHT WAY

1.As you study your notes, summarize what you have studied in point form
highlighting the key points of that topic. You can include formulas, diagrams
and important information from that topic. Briefly go through those notes
the next time you sit down to study.

2.After going through a topic, try to answer some questions from past papers
and pamphlets on that topic. That will help you to fully understand the topic
and it will give you an idea of how questions are asked in the exam.

DURING THE EXAM.

- Follow all the instructions.
- Make sure you shade your answers correctly.
- Briefly go through your answers after you finish.
- Don’t engage yourself in examination malpractice.

Any mistakes are ‘human error’.

ALL THE BEST!!!!
