This document discusses preparing for exams. It emphasizes the importance of:
- Committing to learning the material from the start of the academic session, not just cramming before exams.
- Creating a study schedule and sticking to it, including reviewing notes after class and doing homework.
- Assessing difficult topics to spend extra time studying those areas.
- Practicing recalling information and simulating exams to prepare for the testing environment.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

Preparing for an exam is much like
an athlete training for a sporting
event . . . It involves exercising,
eating the right foods, and getting a
good night's sleep! And yes, you
also have to study!

When classes begin, exams represent a
distant event . . .“I have plenty of time to
prepare for exams.”
But beware of that enemy of preparation . . .
Time is going to advance much faster than
you think and before you know it, preparing
for the exam becomes less about learning
and understanding the material and more
about cramming . . . And then you’re in
Danger!

Editor's Notes
2 minutes (Student introductions could take up an additional 5 – 7 minutes depending on the size of the session. Plan accordingly – see “optional” below)
Room Set-up, Preparation and Materials
Ideally, if you have control of the room arrangement, round tables would be the best set-up to allow for a group exercise. But if you are in a classroom set-up that does not allow for any changes you will have to conduct the session as is. Find out the room set-up so you can plan ahead.
To conduct the session you will need:
Projection screen, projector and extension cords (most classrooms have built in a/v systems)
Laptop (with remote if possible)
1 Flip chart, markers and masking tape
Handout materials
Paper and pens for the participants (optional for the group session)
An assistant – this could be one of the student organizers or a volunteer from the audience
This person’s role is to record responses on the flip charts and then tape the flip charts to the wall during the session (You want to remain free to facilitate the session
Giveaways (Optional)
This could be candy or small items you give to attendees when they answer a question or provide feedback. Just make sure you have enough.
Opening and Welcome
Welcome the students to the session and introduce yourself. Provide a brief bio on yourself and explain your interest in presenting this topic.
Optional: Depending on how much time you have and how large the group is, you might want to have the students introduce themselves. Limit the intros to name, major and year. (estimate about 15 seconds for each student) – Plan your time accordingly if you include the student intros.

This slide is meant to lighten the mood a little. Use the input from the last slide to lead into these quotes about exams.
The bullet points are animated. Use your own comments when highlighting the points.
In this world nothing can be said to be certain, except death and taxes. Oh and exams in college.” With apologies to Benjamin Franklin
The first quote modifies Ben Franklins comments on the likelihood that the union would survive with the new constitution. We know that death and taxes are certain, but exams are too.
“Good luck on the final exams you’re complaining about on Facebook, instead of studying” An anonymous quote. We complain a lot about exams instead of preparing for them.
“Examinations – the only way to know something at least for a few days.” Another anonymous quote. Cramming becomes our preparation strategy instead of learning.
The last two quotes are illustrative of a lot of students attitudes toward exams. We complain and cram instead of working to be prepared. And today’s presentation is going to focus on you taking control and being prepared.
1 minute
And preparation really is the key. You might remember a movie of a few years ago called Miracle, about the 1980 Gold Medal winning US Hockey team. In the movie coach Herb Brooks is really working the players hard and they are complaining. The players thought because they are on the US Olympic Team they are obviously talented athletes. But the coach sets them straight with this quote:
You think you can win on talent alone? Gentlemen, YOU DON'T HAVE ENOUGH TALENT TO WIN ON TALENT ALONE!”
It’s a really important point that connects to us as students. It doesn’t matter how smart we think we are. Going into an exam unprepared is like not training for an athletic competition. Studying is our training for the exam!
1 minute
It’s human nature that if something is not immediate, we say “there’s plenty of time to do that.” And when classes begin, that’s how we feel about exams. “I’ll get to it later.” Don’t fall into that trap. Procrastination is the enemy of preparation.
So as we begin discussing preparing for exams, be alert for procrastination. Waiting until the end will cause you additional anxiety and most important, it can endanger your academic success.
25 – 30 minutes
Yes, I’m stating the obvious, but to do well on an exam you must understand the material. And we’ll be repeating this often, that means you must commit yourself to learning at that starts at the beginning of the academic term.
If you’re presenting this session just before finals, comment that you will be discussing preparation techniques that will help them now. But they should also commit to making preparation an integral part of their schedule from the first day of class during the next semester/quarter.
1 minute
To commit to learning the material, here are several general tips you can follow for each course you are taking.
You can highlight each point and add your own comments.
In Class – Learning the Material
Be prepared by having your assignments completed
Take good notes during the lectures
Be an engaged student . . . Ask and answer questions
After Class – Learning the Material
Prepare a study schedule for every class and stick to it
Review your notes soon after class
Do all of your homework assignments
*Organize your notes, texts, and assignments according the topics and problems that will be covered on the exam
Assess the topics and problems that are most difficult for you and schedule extra time to study these areas
* It is acceptable to ask the professor about the topics to be covered on the exam
timed brainstorming
timed writing
If an idea for a future question “pops into your head”,
make some very brief notes so that you don’t loose it and
go straight back to the answer you are working on
If you have completed an answer and something relevant
that you have left out “pops into your head”, go back and
add the information as dot points at the end of your
answer. Do not try to fit it in over your original script – time
and legibility
Know how much you can write in the time
Time wasting
Above All the biggest reason for losing marks is poor handwriting
Poor Handwriting is one of the biggest reasons for losing marks
Outline
Headings
Clear Writing
Clear Language
Practice
Use subject-specific headings
Stick to your plan
Know how much you can write in the time
Say why the issues raised by the question are important
Biggest Reason for Losing Marks
The key to both intellectual and emotional preparation for exams is simulation
The closer a simulation is to the actual event, the more likely it is that preparation will be effective
Bring the exam hall into your study space
Role play doing the exam
Take your study space into the exam hall
Deconstruct the question:
Restate the question in your own words
Find and use the key words
Show that you know what the point of the question is by defining the key words/concepts/theories/etc
Say how you are going to answer the question
