FROM THE SECURE ROOM: Surviving Summer
from The Exam Man
One for the exams team as the second half of the Autumn team dawns... It feels like a safe distance from May to discuss the most critical time of an exams officers' year- the summer exam period. As most of the UK population enjoys Easter holidays and long, sunny Spring days, students and exams teams are knuckling down preparing for public exams across the country. John explains what he does to both prepare for and execute a successful summer exam season each year, with some words of wisdom about how to get ahead during the rest of the year, how to approach getting support when and where you need it, and how to mentally and physically manage your life as well as your role during the peak weeks. We discuss how running public exams in schools is a marathon not a sprint, and why we wouldn't necessarily recommend launching a weekly podcast just as an exam season dawns.... Includes a call to arms for eating pizza without judgement, too!
