- Know what to expect when they sit the exams
- Practise completing past exams and understand how to improve their performance
- Find out about the range of questions they will face and the best way to tackle each of them
- Learn how to manage their nerves and time
- Plan how to use their strengths to best advantage
- Clarify their goals and focus their motivation
