. You have taken part in a seminar discussing how schools can help to make the exam period less stressful for students. You have made the notes below.
How can schools help to ensure that students do not suffer from stress during the exam period?
- Support from teachers
- A structured revision timetable prior to exams
- Time for relaxation and leisure activities
Some opinions expressed in the seminar:
“Students need to remember that there is more to life than exam success.”
“Revising for 24 hours a day before exams doesn’t necessarily lead to success.”
“You won’t do well on the day if you feel stressed.”
Write an essay discussing two of the methods in your notes. You should explain which method you think is more important for schools to adopt, providing reasons to support your answer. You may, if you wish, make use of the opinions expressed in the seminar, but you should use your own words as far as possible. Write your essay in 220-260 words in an appropriate style.
