TIPS FOR EXAMINATION :
1. Give
yourself enough time to study
Don't leave it until the last minute. While some students do seem to thrive
on last-minute 'cramming', it's widely accepted that for most of us, this is
not the best way to approach an exam. Set out a timetable for your study.
Write down how many exams you have and the days on which you have to sit them.
Then organize your study accordingly. You may want to give some exams more
study time than others, so find a balance that you feel comfortable with.
2.
Organize your study space
Make sure you have enough space to spread your textbooks and notes out.
Try and get rid of all distractions, and make sure you feel as comfortable
and able to focus as possible.
3. Use flow
charts and diagrams
Closer to the exam, condense your
revision notes into one-page diagrams. Getting your ideas down in this brief
format can then help you to quickly recall everything you need to know during
the exam.
4.
Practice on old exams
One of the most effective ways to prepare for exams is to practice taking
past versions. This helps you get used to the format of the questions.
5. Explain your
answers to others
Parents and little brothers and sisters don't have to be annoying around
exam time! Use them to your advantage. Explain an answer to a question to them.
That will help you to get it clear in your head, and also to highlight any
areas where you need more work.
6. Take
regular breaks
studies have shown
that for long-term retention of knowledge, taking regular breaks really helps.
7. Drink
plenty of water
As a final tip, remember that being well hydrated is essential for
your brain to work at its best. Make sure you keep drinking plenty of water
throughout your revision, and also on the exam day.
Good luck!
Expect more from yourself than from
others.B'cz expectations from others
hurt a lot while expectations from
yourself inspire a lot.
