EXAMS & BEAUTY

HOW TO BEAT EXAMINATION STRESS

3

Do you sweat as the date of your examinations approaches? Is the lack of calmness causing you to under-perform?

Here is some advice to tide over those anxious moments!

1. Start studying well before the exam.

Make sure your schedule provides for sufficient revision time. As any good testtaker will tell you, the revisions are more important than the first time study.

stressful to memorize lots of information or comprehend complicated concepts on less than 6 hours sleep.

2. Focus on understanding the concepts rather than mugging. Use mnemonics if rote learning is the only way out.

8. Eat healthy food, since it’s often easier to function on nutritious food than junk. While sugar might be a quick source of energy, sugar lows happen pretty fast and the let-down can often be severe.

3. Think about the time after the exam.

Visualize the happiness on your face when the stressful period is over. This works very well.

9. Exercise. Physical exercise like running, jogging or skipping for 15-20 minutes everyday will make you feel stress free and mentally fit.

10. while taking notes, use as many diagrams, graphs, figures and illustrations as possible. This helps to make several revisions at the last moment!

11. Ask a senior or more knowledgeable person to prepare sample tests for you. If practice tests are available online or in the market, go for them. Many questions are similar to or verbatim from practice material.

12. On the day of the exam, feel happy! Think positive and keep cool! Good luck!

4. Keep reminding yourself that your hard work will not go to waste.

5. If you are afraid of tough questions, it helps to know that most questions are of average difficulty and designed to be answered correctly by most examinees.

6. Designate a “study buddy”, a classmate who is an expert in a subject you have trouble in, that you can come to with questions.

7. Get plenty of sleep. It’s way more

TOP 4 SUMMER SKIN TIPS As you prepare to show more skin, get ready to face the sun’s rays with our top 4 summer skin tips!

1. Exfoliate for clearer, smoother skin What it does: Exfoliation removes dead, dulling skin debris to prevent congestion and improve hydration from toners and moisturizers.

When: Perform in the mornings prior to toner, moisturizer, SPF and make-up application. Tip: Make-up will last longer on an exfoliated skin!

2. Keep skin hydrated How: Up your regimen’s level of hydration with intensive masques, perfect for use one to two times a week.

Boosters are a great fit, working best when layered underneath a moisturizer.

Toners are a refreshing moisturizer prep, working to even out skin porosity.

Tip: Refresh with a revitalizing toner spritz at your desk, in the car or at the gym.

3. Make friends with H20 Why: Higher temperatures and more time

outdoors leads to internal dehydration, which can result in headaches and dizzy spells!

4. When in doubt, apply (and reapply!)

Why: It’s not enough to just apply sunscreen: you must apply enough, and apply frequently. Studies indicate that most people do not apply nearly as much daylight protection as they should.

How much: A teaspoon for the face. For the body, about as much as would fill a shot glass.

How often: Re-apply every two hours.

ML FICK HOU ‘N DINAMIESE DAMESTEE

Die visie om ‘n spog geleenthied vir Laerskool ML Fick te reel om vroueharte aan te raak het gestalte gekry op 31 Oktober 2015 in die vorm van ‘n Dinamiese Damestee.

Daar is spoggerige tafels gedek deur mammas en vriendinne van die skool. 300 dames het die geleentheid bygewoon.

Cornette Esterhuizen wat die organiseerder van die funksie was sê dat elke gasvrou se tafel baie fyn en keurig gedek was.

Die gaste het die produksie DINAMIESE DAMES van tyd tot tyd beleef as wêreldklas gehalte. Sone Combrinck wat onder meer Getroud met rugby vervaardig, Platteland asook Bloedbroers het die produksie saamgestel en was ook die reggisieur van die produksie.

Ons was dan geeerd om Nadia Beukes, Edrien Erasmus, Marissa Drummond en Melissa Bam op die planke te sien.

Janine Neethling het die musikale verwerking gedoen. Franko Prinsloo was die musikale regisseur en pianis.

Dit was ‘n reuse sukses en die produksie sal dan nou ook landwyd aangebied word. Laerskool ML Fick is baie trots op hierdie pragtige oggend en bedank graag ons gasvoue, borge, ouers, onderwysers en vriende van die skool wat ‘n bydrae gelewer het.
