Exam Preparation Worksheet: Learning from Mistakes

Exam preparation lesson 23: After the exam: learn from mistakes · Set 282 · 40 questions

Study tip (Every mistake is a map): Concept gap → relearn and practise; careless slip → add it to your checking list; time problem → plan minutes per mark; misread question → circle key words. Helpful steps: listing your mistakes, redoing wrong sums, asking about doubts, noting weak topics, updating your plan. Unhelpful: hiding the paper, blaming the teacher, giving up the subject. Score as a percentage = marks ÷ total × 100 (26 out of 50 → 52%).
