Newquay Bulletin – 1st June 2015
Dear Students
The Exam Week Timetables are available on your course notice
boards and on your course Moodle pages.
If you are scheduled to have an exam but you are not listed on
the college notice board, you should have received a
personalised timetable via email.
The exams will take place between Thursday 28th and Friday 29th
May; Monday 1st to Thursday 4th June; Monday 8th to Thursday 11th
June. All exams taking place will be in classrooms at Newquay or
the Atlantic Centre in Wildflower Lane (car access through the
over flow car park).
It is a necessity in sitting HE exams that you have your UoP
number. This number can be found on your UoP card, or on
the college notice board exam timetable schedule.
Please note that you will also need to bring along
photographic ID to your exam, as your identity will be
checked by the Invigilator (even if the Invigilator is a
HE EXAMS
member of staff who knows you) as this is an exam
regulation.
Please arrive at least 15 minutes before the start of the exam.
It would be advisable to bring a pen and pencil and
calculator (if needed) with you to the exam. Only see-
through pencil cases are allowed on the exam desk.
Please remember to turn your mobile phone off and hand
into the invigilator or store away in your bag at the other side
of the exam room. It is a serious exam offence to use any
electronic device, bar a calculator in an exam.
Please also be aware that you will not be allowed to go to
the toilet unaccompanied, if you do need to go you will have
to wait until the break invigilator comes to relieve the
invigilator and then they will accompany you.
If you have any problems with your exam timetable please do not
hesitate to contact me and I will be happy to help.
The best of luck with your exams!
Regards

Hi all.
We're at that time of year again with exams and tests and revision
is key. Evidence suggests that these five steps will improve your
revision and hopefully your exam performance:
1. Rest & sleep. 8 hrs a night & naps. Relax between revision
sessions.
2. Structure your revision notes. Trying to remember it all doesn't
work nearly as well as rewriting your notes in a form where
concepts are linked so remembering one thing will lead you
to remembering other related things. This could be
diagrammatical.
3. Spaced revision. Evidence shows that spacing revision of a
subject is better than cramming. The longer the gap the
better. I'd advise reading your day's notes again at the end
of a day's lessons then rewriting in a structured form at the
start of revision and then revising from those notes for bursts
every 24 hours.
4. Practise in the form you know the exam/test will be. If you
know the answers will be essay form, practise writing essays.
5. Eat well. Complex carbs, good quality proteins, healthy fats
(like olive oil), plenty of fruit and veg. Oh and plenty of water.
Cut the simple sugars. Your brain is the most glucose-hungry
organ going and it uses bucket-loads when it's hard at work
thinking. Feed it well!
Points 1-4 and one other point of advice can be found here:

Good luck for the next few weeks!
