When the exams arrive, many students are already starting to worry. Will they make it or not? Will they get their diploma? Here you will read what an exam is and how it works with some tips.
The exam
In high school the exam is held in the last grade. Here everything revolves around your own knowledge, no calculator, etc. Everything is done by heart. At the time, a date was set and you sat down with all the exam students, a few 100 pieces in the canteen, nowadays everything happens on the computer. If you enter or skip 1 answer, you can no longer press previous. So don’t be in a hurry and think carefully before you answer it. You also only have a certain time for 1 exam. You get a certain time per exam part, and you will not only have to come to school, there will of course be several! You will be divided into groups and assigned dates when you have which exam. Of course everyone is tense before the exam, not sleeping well, worrying, fear. But you don’t have to, if you stay calm and just fill in the questions there is nothing wrong, after a while when you have passed all the exams you will get the results. Even after you have taken the exam, you may still have some anxiety and questions will arise whether you did well, yes or no. You will be called between 12.00 – 13.00 if you have failed, you will not be called you have passed. If you fail, you usually also get a second chance. As soon as you pass you will receive a letter, or you will be notified by e-mail when you can collect your diploma!
