It is that time of the year again! It is exams all over again. We all have to take exams at one time or the other in our life. But the most important exams are those that decide our future. Here are some tips that Chennaionline has specially compiled to help you sail through your exams comfortably.
Caution: These tips will be of use only for those who have actually prepared for the exam. If your preparation is incomplete, they will be of no use!
*Study at moderate pace. Take a break of 5 minutes after every 50-minute study.
*If you have finished preparing, take a walk, listen to music, watch a movie, do anything that will help you relax.
*Get a good night's sleep.
*Take your Hall Ticket, watch, pencils, pens, scale, rubber and also a good luck charm for your exam.
*Resist the temptation to indulge in last minute discussion with your friends. Your friends may learn their lessons in a different way.
*Take deep breaths and relax your muscles when you feel nervous.
*Focus your attention on the question, and work out a plan-for example, "I'll do this first…. And then this".
*When you get your question paper, read the questions and the directions carefully.
*Start off by answering the questions that you know.
*While answering multiple choice questions, read all the options first and then eliminate the wrong answers. If you are not sure about the answer rely on your intuition.
*While writing short answers, stick to the word limit. Excessive writing irritates the person grading the paper.
*While writing long answers, start with a sketch or outline of the essay and then begin the overview.
*Make sure you have enough time at the end to review your answers.
*Don't start preparing for your next exam immediately, take a break and relax.
Here are 10 top tips by educational psychologists:
1. Get help: ask a teacher or tutor about how to revise, and exam skills - how to work when you are in an exam.
2. Take short rests during your time of work and revision. If your mind is tired, it will not remember well.
3. Plan your work: revise at times when you know you will work at your best.
4. Stay healthy: get enough sleep, eat sensibly.
5. Exercise: you need exercise to work well. Walk, run, play sport - whatever you enjoy.
6. Be positive: stop thinking about the future and failing.
7. Do your best: no-one can do more than this.
8. Be alert: if you feel ill, talk to someone about your worries.
9. But don't be too relaxed! Some stress over exams makes you work hard for them.
10. Be sensible: if it upsets you to talk to your friends about an exam when it is finished, don't do it! In fact, don't even think about the exam you have finished. What is done is done. You cannot change what you have written!
To this advice, we would add:
1. If you are studying in the evening, don't go straight to bed afterwards. Your mind will still be 'going round and round' - thinking too much. Do something else, maybe walk or get exercise. Choose something that will relax you, and make you think of other things.
2.You do not need to face exams alone. God can help you. Search for Him. He can be a friend to you.
