16 December 2012Dear Anita,Thank you for your letter. Yes Im ecstatic and my parents a very happy too. While I was preparing for the exams I thought it was difficult but now that the exams are over, I realised that it wasnt so bad after all. I will continue my studies here. You seem to be so stressed at the moment. Dont panic. It will only make things worse. First of all, you need to make a timetable and follow it strictly. You might have to cut down or even give up on some of your extra activities if you find you dont have enough time. However, remember a healthy mind and healthy body are both important. You still need to find time to exercise and play some outdoor games. You certainly cannot study all day.Try and get some model test papers. You can try to do an open book test on your own. This means, you answer the questions referring to your books when you are not sure f the answers. This is a good method of revision. After you have done a few tests, you can then try the tests without referring to your books. Mark your answers and find out the mistakes you made. You might have to go over the areas you have trouble with before trying the next test. It is also a good idea to form a study group with a few of your good friends who are serious about doing well. This way you can work together, do the same revisions and discuss answers for model tests papers. This is more fun than working on your own. Oh, dont forget to eat a balanced diet and avoid junk food too. This is important to ensure your body stays healthy and prepared for any exams.So all the best Anita. Let me know if you need any help. I will send you a few good books and notes. You might find them useful for your studies. Ive got to run now. Take care and send my best wishes to your family. Im looking forward to hear from you soon. Bye for now. Yours sincerely, Sarah
