PREPARE TO SUCCEED

+THE KEY TO SUCCESS

Effort is the main key to success

It is not intelligence that matters most – it’s EFFORT

Smart isn’t what you are, it’s what you get (If you work hard)

Think Positively!

Accept responsibility for motivating yourself!

Reward yourself after completing a goal or task.

+“Can do attitude”

1. “I don’t understand it.”

2. “It’s boring.”

3. “I don’t feel like doing it.”

4. “What if I do badly.”

5. “I can’t do this as well as others.”

6. “You can’t make me do it.”

With EFFORT – you can learn all you need to learn

+TESTS AND EXAMS Don’t worry

Before the Exam • Get plenty of sleep the night

before. • Give yourself enough time in the

morning for your regular routine.• Eat a good, nutritious breakfast. • Give yourself positive, reassuring

statements throughout the day (such as "you can do it" or "you know the material, so relax").

• Quit studying at least half-an-hour before the exam and do something relaxing.

• Avoid getting to class too early. (The time right before the exam is usually spent worrying about the test.)

During the Exam

• Avoid students who'll ask you questions before the exam. (This will only increase your anxiety.)

• If possible, sit in the seat you normally occupy in class.

• Be sure to read all instructionss.• Look over the test and spend

more time on questions worth more marks.

• Don't change your answers. (Unless you’re sure you were wrong the first time.)

• Read each question twice, slowly.• Skip questions you can't answer

and go back to them later.
