Preparing for the Gymi exam is one of the decisive phases in your child's school career. It is therefore all the more important that your child is not only prepared for the upcoming challenges in theory, but also in practice. Mock exams offer a unique opportunity to test what has been learnt under realistic conditions and to specifically identify weaknesses.
Why are mock exams so important?
Realistic exam experience: Mock exams give your child the opportunity to familiarise themselves with the exam situation in advance. This reduces exam anxiety and increases self-confidence, as the procedures and requirements are familiar.
Targeted analysis of weaknesses: The realistic nature of the test means that individual weaknesses in German and maths can be precisely identified. This enables targeted follow-up and improvement before things get serious.
Practising time management: One of the biggest challenges in exams is effective time management. Your child will learn how to optimise their time in order to complete all tasks within the allotted time.
Feedback from experts: After the mock exam, you will receive a detailed written assessment. Experienced teachers who are familiar with the current exam requirements correct the exams and provide valuable feedback to help your child improve.
Security and routine: Repeated exam situations create routine and security. Your child becomes more self-confident and knows exactly what to expect in the real exam situation.
Investing in a mock exam is therefore a crucial step in maximising your child's chances of success in the Gymi exam. Take this opportunity to prepare your child in the best possible way and give them the best chance of a successful transition to secondary school.
