Exam preparation tips for parents
When considering how to deal with exam periods, the first step is always to be prepared. You can do so by:
- Creating a quiet study place - make sure your teenager has a designated space in your home for study. Assist them in minimising distractions.
- Plan a study timetable - Now that you have the “Abitur” examination dates, it is a good idea to sit down and create an adjacent study timetable. This will help your teen feel more prepared for the coming exams and will ensure you are aware of what they have on and when so you can help manage stress ahead of time.
- Discuss expectations - it is vital for you and your teen to understand each other’s expectations because they might not match. Having discussions around behaviours and outcomes during and after exams will help you both to manage expectations.
- Devise coping methods for stress - As a parent, you are most likely aware of the tell-tale signs that your teen is stressed. Make sure to chat about coping mechanisms such as going out for a walk or simply laying still and listening to music.
