First Exam

The text:
Preparation for the test is very important and starts at home. Preparation is the work that pupils do before the test. But just how you go about it? The majority of the pupils revise for exam alone. This method may possibly be suitable for some children, but on the other hand it may well be the cause of the failure of many others.
Children was revise in groups may have better chances of success than those who revise alone, when they work in groups thy help one another by asking and answering questions that they might have in exams. Group preparation may also reduce stress if the children practice under test conditions.
