Exam Essentials
February 19, 2025
As the pace of a new academic year gains heat, it’s best that you have everything you need!
Getting yourself ready for the exams often goes beyond academic content, but this is something many students underestimate and often neglect. Factors like time management, legible handwriting, a well-built revision environment, and customised notes that’s catered to your level of understanding and competence can help you a great deal as you inch towards the last mile of exam preparation.
Essential Stationery
If you’re not sure where to start, always begin with the essential stationery that you use every school day or revision session. Don’t want the hassle of picking them out individually? Go for the STABILO Exam Grade Range with two Exam Grade 2B pencils, one Exam Grade eraser, and one sharpener. Top it off with a STABILO Swing Cool Pastel Highlighter Set of 6 Colours consisting of eight pastel shades. With this, you’d be able to single out key points from the large amount of information, and even colour-code them to bump up your efficiency during revision sessions. Smudge-proof and reduced bleed-through, this series has a fast dry time even when used on glossy paper. Its Anti Dry-Out technology means you’d be unstoppable even in a four-hour study session.
To spruce things up a little, you can also consider the POP Bazic Table Top Pencil Sharpener with a transparent in-built canister for greater convenience. Its one-hole design means most pencils will fit in it with ease. The Plus Mount Fuji Omamori Eraser makes for another cute addition to your daily essentials. Designed as a blue block that slowly turns into Mount Fuji as its core is revealed when the corners turn rounded with use, this adorable eraser is perfect for your own use as well as for gifting to your friends in school! For those who use the pen more frequently, don’t miss out on the eco-friendly Tombow Correction Tape that’s packaged in a paper case and as compact as they come. With this in hand, you won’t have to worry about your essays getting messy and cluttered when you need to make edits.
Good Notes & Practices
With the basics settled, you should consider what you will need for your final revision and practice papers. Ensuring a healthy stock of note pads and writing pads will save you from last-minute scrambles to the bookstore once you go on intensive mode during revision season. Featuring 70 sheets in four lively shades — blue, yellow, green, and pink — note-taking will become both a visually-engaging and seamlessly organised experience as you can use different colours for different subjects or projects. Add on the 3M Post-it Notes for making ad-hoc lists or keeping track of your homework progress as it sticks and resticks securely.
The final step would be to go head-on into practice papers so you can simulate the exam environment and train yourself in withstanding the time pressure. The POP Bazic A4 Lecture Pad Bundle comes in packs of five to sustain you throughout your practice sessions. For the older students, make sure your calculator is in good condition or you might find yourself in a fix. The Casio FX-97SGX Scientific Calculator is a dual-powered 10 + 2-digit display calculator approved for use in the A-Level exams that’s packed with features for teaching and studying maths.
A home screen with its various calculator apps allow for easy selection of calculation mode, while the spreadsheet feature is great for learning statistics, recursive formulas, and more. Supported by the Math Box app, there are Dice Roll and Coin Toss functions for probability simulations. You can also input equations into the calculator to generate QR codes that will then display the graphs and other graphics on your smartphone or tablet.
