1. Make a realistic revision timetable and stick to it. Start
planning it well before the exams begin. Don’t leave revision to the last
minute.
2. Make brief notes of your books, notes and essays to make
them easier to digest quickly, especilly if you don't like the subject or find
it difficult.
3. Add headings and sub-headings, or use highlighting pens
and revision cards, key words or charts - whatever works for you.
4. Work out what revision timetable best suits you.
5. If you can concentrate well in the morning then do most of
your studying before lunch, not late at night when you can’t concentrate. If
you can study at night then study at later half of the day, but go to bed at
reasonable hour and get enough sleep.
6. Revise very nicely since that is very important.
7. Try answering questions from past exam papers or
explaining tricky answers to someone else to make sure you have understood it.
8. If you really cannot concentrate it may be because you are
tired, hungry, or just bored. Take a break and come back to it 10 minutes
later. Short bursts of concentrated revision are often better than hours of
staring at the same page.
9. Always ask for help if there are things you don't
understand, and especially if you are feeling, stressed out.
10.Finally, never
forget that there is life after revision and exams.
11.Try to be cool in
the exam
1. When the exam finally arrives, it is too late to worry,
over whether you have revised enough. On the date of the exam, you should
maintain your coolness. Here is some more advice from experts.
2. Have a good breakfast. Getting hungry during the middle of
an exam can be distracting, especially if your concentration is already
warning.
3. Check out the details of exams and make sure you know when
and where the exam will be!
4. Give yourself plenty of time to get there and calm your
nerves. Rushing only adds to the feeling of panic.
5. Prepare everything the night before, check that you have
packed your bag with everything you will need - extra pens, water, tissues and
so on. On the morning of the exam, tension can make you forget something
important. So relax.
6. Talk to the other pupils before taking the exam if it
helps to build your confidence, but if it just makes you more nervous, try and
find a quiet corner for yourself.
7. Go to the toilet before the exam starts.
8. Take time to read the instructions and questions
carefully. Many students do badly because they give the wrong number of answers
or misread the questions.
9. Work out how long you will have to answer each question
and try to stick to it.
10.Keep an eye on the
time and follow instructions about how long to spend on different sections.
11.Always keep 10-15 minutes for revision, check for obvious mistakes and ensure that you have answered all the questions.
