1. Lack of Study Plan and Strategy:
- Without a clear plan, students struggle to know exactly what to do. This can result in uneasiness, feelings of anxiousness, and a lack of preparation which may lead to underperformance on the big day.
2. Gaps in Their Knowledge:
- Gaps in knowledge lead to a lack of understanding, which can prevent students from passing, and students getting higher grades.
3. Not Sure How to Approach Exam Questions:
- Students may know the information, but find it hard to interpret the question and/or aren’t sure how to put their responses in the right language for the marker.
