Exam - No Pain No Gain

There  comes a time in every student’s life  that examination knocks in every door. Whether we like it or not we need to overcome this test either we pass it or fail.

Whenever we are going to be sat in an examination room it is never too early to start getting ready for those tests. Thorough preparation is needed that will provide us strong foundation that will give us confidence and belief that we can do them that we will get the grades we’re aiming.

I myself as a student experiencing these hard time came up with these ten tips for exam success :

1. Find your own deep and compelling reason to successfully learn your subject and pass your exams.

2. Plan your time to include study, revision and social commitments - a balance of having fun, taking breaks and studying is vital.

3. Use multicolored mind maps for your notes.

4. Review your notes regularly to reinforce your new-found knowledge.

5. Swiftly skim through your text books and course material before you read them in depth to give you an overview of your subject.

6. Learn how to remember lists of things by linking each item to a location on a journey or route you are familiar with around your environment. You could even use your own home.

7. Before you do any revision, warm up by doing some gentle exercise to relieve any tension in your body and to get a rush of healthy oxygen flowing to your brain.

8. Do past papers under thorough exam conditions as often as possible to familiarize yourself with the format and the pressures of working under exam conditions.

9. In an exam, make sure you read the question completely and fully understand what the examiner wants before you allocate your time and begin answering the questions.

10. If you are faced with a mental block breathe deeply, relax and ask yourself "If I did know the answer to this question, what would it be?"

We may keep this tips helpful. Let’s just always bear in mind that “In the middle of difficulty lies opportunity”.
