Exams? Sure Granny Will Light A Candle For You..

If you aren't from Ireland and you have just read my title of this post and think im mad.... Instead of a good luck card mammy's and granny's go to the church and light a candle in the hope you succeed  Mad huh? Well I think it's sweet :) (although not sure it will make you pass? )
So the leaving cert exams are approaching and I’m sure other people in different countries have to face exams pretty soon! I disliked the leaving cert, I've always been a free spirit and I went to a catholic school…
Now it’s not as bad as days gone by but it felt like a prison camp to me. The important thing is know that all the hard work you put in will pay off, talk among your peers to find out their study techniques many will tell you they aren't studying but they are. Do a little every day. EXAM PAPERS are an amazing resource do a question then go for a walk or listen to music.  Put little notes in your room of quotes; record yourself talking about something and listen when you’re on the way home or whenever you can!
Get enough sleep; sleep is essential to get through exams! Your food is too ,eating enough veg and all that haha. Will help big time! Time yourself when writing; I’m quite a slow writer so if you are too try to speed up over a period of time.
Try getting study groups or going to the library a few times a week if you can, it’s important that you get stuck into your work. It’ll be tough but it’ll pay off! Don’t tie yourself to a desk either but make a timetable a realistic one though. The condensed books you get are really helpful and there are a few websites that you can get material off, try sharing your material in return for more study notes.
I want to wish everyone who I studying exams the best of luck and hopefully you’ll get what you want. Make sure to have a back-up plan ready, PLCs can be a good way of finding out if the course your about to do is right for youJ Make sure to Smile it will work out through patience and work  out how it is best for you to study.


Don't ever give up fight for what you want, it'll never be easy. But you'll get through it. And if you don't get a million points there is other options other routes :) All the information is there just can be hard to find. And for those who's exams have finished I hope you have done your best and try not to let them worry you. 



Good Luck 
Love Rose
