BSL Exam tips

[Marijn]

Has anyone got any tips for BSL level 2 exam? I had my mock exam today and was supposed to sign for 3 mins. I ran out of ideas at 2 mins, so messed up completely. Have you got any general tips, not just about "drying up". Or any tips about ANY exams, to stop yourself feeling nervous etc.

Been a long time since I done my BSL 2 .
I remeber talking about myself and my family.
My Job and what it involved.( Working with Deaf People)
I also explained why I enjoyed working with the Deaf community and how Working with people with hearing impairments was such a Rewarding thing to be doing.
By talking about things you are comfortable with this should help with the Nervs.
Good Luck.
I have not used my BSL in a long time and miss the Job I once done.
By not using my skills I feel that i am lossing out .
Its a case of use it or lose it . So stick in and keep up to date

Thanks Info Bank. In my exam I will have to sign about holidays. It's very hard to remember about holidays as I haven't had a memorable one for a while. I think you're right, that it's best to sign about things that you know.
I will keep practising and do my best. It's surprising how quickly you can forget things. If I don't practise for a while I forget some of the most basic signs even.

The topic of holiday sould be easy to streach out .
Disscusion with family or friends about going on holiday then everyone agreeing where to go and when.
Final decissions. And Destination.
Who booked it and how that was done.
Nerves about flying maybe?.
Passports... You get the Idea...LOL.
