SOME USEFUL TIPS FOR EXAM PREPARATION
• First of all take a deep breath and brush aside all worries.
• Wake up early in the morning regularly and study for about 6 hours daily prior to examination.
• Do not rote-learn your material. Just read and understand it. If you find difficulty in understanding, take help from your parents, teachers or siblings.
• Do not rely on group studies. It will just waste time as most of the students learn less and gossip more while studying in a group.
• Decide what the toughest subject for you is. After deciding, make a timetable in which give at least 6 hours regularly to your studies.
• Highlight important points for thorough revision.
• Do not rely on five-year papers, keys or guides. Learn everything from books/notes. At least once go through the topics which you do not consider important enough for your exams.
• Make notes while reading. In fact, summarising and condensing notes focuses your mind.
• Discuss topics with your classmates after revision (only in break time).
• Use diagrammatic representation wherever possible. You may find this easier to retain.
• Use short forms for hard sentences to memorise them effectively.
• Improve your writing speed so that you can cover your paper in the stipulated time.
• Check the stationary needed in the examination.
• If you find a question hard to answer, do not worry, since high level of stress will affect your normal thinking. Skip it and answer another question, if there is time after answering the questions you are able to answer, go back and think again.
• In multiple choices, if you are not immediately sure of the correct answer, try to eliminate the obvious wrong choices.
• Attempt the easiest questions first.
• Do not try to write more than what is asked in the examination paper.
• Do not use highlighter in your answer sheet. Just use black and blue markers for heading purpose.
• Do not use ink-remover in examination as it might fade off the written work after a few days.
• Do not use high level of vocabulary which your examiner would not be able to understand.
• Always revise your work before submitting your answer sheet.
