RHS ESSENTIAL
If you have a positive attitude towards your exams, you increase your chances of performing well.
Over the next few days, we will investigate strategies to get positive about your exams
#4. Talk to other students who feel positively about exams. However, when students do not have a strong belief in their own ability then fear will have a negative effect on motivation and can increase the students’ anxiety. Unless you know that a particular student is likely to have a positive reaction to a fear appeal it is better to avoid using this as a motivational strategy. Instead, it is better to point out the positives, such as the possibility of performing well in the exam as a result of completing homework or revision.

TODAY IS INTERNATIONAL DAY TO END IMPUNITY FOR CRIMES AGAINST JOURNALISTS
The day draws attention to the level of impunity for crimes against journalists, which remains extremely high globally. Between 2006 and 2020, over 1,200 journalists have been killed around the world, with close to 9 out of 10 cases of these killings remaining judicially unresolved, according to the UNESCO observatory of killed journalists.[1] As journalists play a critical role in reporting facts to all citizens, impunity for attacks against them has a particularly damaging impact, limiting public awareness and constructive debate.
On 2 November, organizations and individuals worldwide are encouraged to talk about the unresolved cases in their countries, and write to government and intra-governmental officials to demand action and justice. UNESCO organizes an awareness-raising campaign on the findings of the UNESCO Director-General's biennial Report on the Safety of Journalists and the Danger of Impunity, which catalogues the responses of states to UNESCO's formal request for updates on progress in cases of killings of journalists and media workers. UNESCO and civil society groups throughout the world also use 2 November as a launch date for other reports, events and other advocacy initiatives relating to the problem of impunity for crimes against freedom of expression.
