Question 4
Read the speech on how to perform well in an examination.
Good morning students of SMK Sungai Seri Muda. Examinations are important
and as such, you have to be well-prepared to perform your best. As the examination
period is approaching, some of you may have butterflies in your stomach. But do
not worry. Today, I would like to share some tips on how you can perform well
in your examination.
Firstly, it is a bad habit to stay up late to catch up on your revision. Another one
is to revise at the eleventh hour. These bad habits should not be encouraged. Always
revise consistently, especially after the lesson is taught.
Dont be afraid to ask questions in class, especially on topics or concepts that you
have difficulty understanding. Talk to your teachers as they can provide you the
necessary guidance. Besides this, you can form a study group. Group studies enable
you and your friends to share ideas and opinions. This can be a valuable
source of information, especially in areas you are weak in.
Use the time given to you wisely. If you are unable to answer a difficult question,
do not waste time on it. You can come back to it later. Move on to do the easier ones
first. Once you have finished, do not leave the hall. Read what you have answered
and check your work. There may be some errors which can be corrected.
Dont forget to bring along your identity card with you on the day of the
examination. You will need it to enter the examination hall. Finally, always arrive
early at least half an hour before the paper starts. Never arrive just in time or late for
the examination.
These are some of the tips you can follow to prepare yourselves for an
examination. Remember our performance in an examination depends on our efforts
to prepare for it. Good luck and thank you.
