Leaving Cert 2024: Exam survival guide for students (and parents)

Try organising revision notes backwards, starting from your last exam, identifying the periods of time you have available before each paper to finally review your notes and sample answers. Photograph: Dara Mac Dónaill

When you have completed this process, you will have a clear picture of how you are going to use every hour available to you. It will help you make sure all sections of every paper have identified time slots for final revision.Review each day’s subject requirements before leaving home. Remember, different papers require you to have different instruments and materials. Check your other daily requirements such as water, other forms of nourishments, transport costs where appropriate and so on.

Once you receive your paper, read it carefully and fully before you do anything else. Start to sketch out, at the back of your answer book, the answers to every question you are planning to answer. You will not be able to fully complete this task in the first few minutes, but your brain will continue to reflect on all the questions you select over the period of the entire examination, as you begin to write.

Try drawing up a checklist of daily requirements based on the day’s exams. Writing instruments and other requirements – such as rulers, erasers, and calculators – should be checked.
