RAD Examinations June 2012

If you know these days are going to be a problem, let me know NOW. I can probably do something about it, or make alternative arrangements.

If we have more exams than I have hours in the day, then I will organise a second examination session at the same time on the same day....a headache to timetable & less flexibility in terms of exam times. So please don't ask me to change the times once I have done the timetable.

If you can't make the time I have given you, then I am really sorry to disappoint you, but you will not be able to take your exam.

Thanks

Miss Karen

Practicing for Exams

Children practice for exams by repetition of exercises in a particular order. They should wear their uniform to all classes and bring along any additional items which they will need so that they are familiar with it and themselves.

"Last minute", or "on the day" props or shoe purchases are a definite disadvantage to your child.

Because we try to make examination sessions as stress free as possible, regular attendance at lessons gives your child the confidence that they know the work, so that they can concentrate on performance in the exam.

Please try not to miss any of the last 6 classes before the exam. This is where we "polish up" the performances and partner up the students. They usually have to perform exercises in turn & if your child isn't there they may not know when to "come in with the music" when it is their turn.

Exam sessions are not competitions. Each child will have reached a certain level of competence which is particular to them. Not everyone has "natural" ability. But what ability your child has, we will support and encourage them to do their best.

An exam gives your child a particular attainment level (a personal best, if you like)which we hope we and they can improve on at the next session.

There is no first or last place as far as the teacher is concerned, we hope that you and your child see it that way too.

Please support and encourage your child, no matter what their exam mark is. Passing an exam IS an achievement in itself.
