Preparing for the Office Administration CSEC Examination

Below is a list of things that a student can do to ensure their success in the CSEC Examinations of any kind. This list is not may not include all of the ways possible. I am sure that you can think of other ways; however I like to keep things simple so I will outline just a few.

1. Submit a School Based Assessment (SBA) that is of high quality. Your SBAs contribute to a  portion of your exam grade. It is worth doing to the best of your ability especially since it the part of the exam that you are allowed to make corrections to with the aid of a teacher or an adviser. 
2. Get an Office Administration course outline. Ensure that you have covered everything that is mentioned in the course outline. A course outline helps you to keep track of what you have covered in class, things that you have yet to cover as well as the areas that your are not so familiar with.
3. Get an Office Administration textbook and the Office Administration for CSEC Study Guide. Nothing prepares you for an exam better than books that efficiently and effectively cover the course work.
4. Practice past papers. Practicing past papers helps you to become comfortable with the structure of the exam. It helps to answer the questions without the aid of any resource materials; this gives you an understanding of how much you know and areas that you need to work one. After you would have done this it is okay to use resource materials to construct the correct answers to the questions. 
5. Attend all of your classes. The pressure is on to complete SBAs and it seems feasible to miss a class or two, however missing classes means missing information and the opportunity to ask questions and seek adequate clarity one what was taught.
6. Set a study timetable. Learning to manage your time is the key to success. Do not wait until you receive your exam timetable to begin to organize your study schedule. If you do not already have one, now is a good time to draft one.
7. Have faith. Having faith in God and oneself can be part of the key to success. The thing with faith is that you must put in the hard work and then believe that God will bless your efforts. You must believe that you are able to pass the exam especially if you know that you have studied well. Remember cramming is not the same thing as studying.
