adminExam Philosophy
The aim in marking exams is to find out what you know, what you can express, what you understand and what you can do. You can only get credit if show evidence of your abilities. A skeleton answer might get some credit for a correct conclusion, or the right jargon, but it does not constitute evidence that you actually know what you are doing!
Exams Hint
- If a question asks you to “explain”, “describe” etc something, then write in proper English sentences – don’t just jot down buzz-words. Usually notes do not provide convincing evidence, because they are indistinguishable from vaguely remembered phrases.
- If you are asked to work something out, or “to show that . . .”, then include your working out (neatly) as part of your answer – then you may be able to get some credit for your method, even if you make a mistake or get the wrong answer.
- Candidates sometimes forget to answer parts of questions, for no apparent reason, and lose credit that otherwise would have easily been gained. Make sure that you have dealt with everything that has been asked.
- Read the instructions on the cover of the exam answer booklets: In particular the statement about writing clearly.
- Count the questions that you do carefully: On the one hand make sure that you do enough – if you are required to do four, and you only attempt three, then your maximum possible total mark is reduced by 25 percent!
On the other hand, make sure that you don’t do too many. If we ask you to do four questions and you do five, then we will simply not count one of your answers: so you might as well have spent the time checking and polishing just four answers (it may sound ridiculous, but students actually do make this mistake every year).
- Long questions vs short questions: Questions which occupy a lot of space on the exam paper look intimidating, but this may be an illusion. Often, long questions consist of many small, well defined parts which can be answered independently: so you can probably gain straightforward marks from any part that you answer.
In contrast, questions which appear to be short often consist of just a few parts, each of which requires sustained creative and compositional effort – and, although the marks are certainly available, it can be far from obvious how to guarantee that you win them!
Conclusion
Every child is unique. Every child has different skills and potential. The same goes with every child’s ability to learn at school. Some student can grasp school lessons faster as compared to other children. How your child performs in school should not be compared to other children because each child has a different learning pace.
If you are brilliant students you would need to compete with other students who get good grades for you to be able to keep your rank in school. At the same time, average students would also need to strive hard in order for them not to fail the class. This is the reason is why having a home tutor can be very beneficial to fast, average, and slow learners alike.
One of the best and most proven methods of ensuring that parent and their wards are free from the stresses of school, homeworks and examinations battle is to get a professional and well qualify home tutor who will give closer attention to your wards need than is possible in a classroom environment.
