Education: 9 ways to prepare for final exams!
Exam time is here! This is the time for your final exam and you might have started preparing for it. But have you prepared well? Well here are some tips to prepare for your exams!!
Tip 1: Start early
Preparation for exams should begin
earlier than the day before the
test. You can’t cram an entire unit
of information into an all-nighter.
Get started at least a week before
the exam.
Tip 2: Organize
Begin by making yourself a
calendar outlining a daily schedule
of topics for review. Cover a small
amount of material for each class
each day. Every time you complete
a topic, give yourself a mini
review.
Tip 3: Outline
Once you have decided what you
need to study and how much time
you need to spend studying, it is
time to actually study. One of the
best ways is to make succinct
outlines. As you read over your
textbook and class notes, write a
brief summary for each topic.
Highlight the areas in your outline
that were most troublesome. When
you have finished with all the
material, you will have an outline
you can review.
Tip 4: Make flashcards
Similar to outlining, making
flashcards is a really helpful
technique for studying. By writing
down the information from your
outline, you are already doing half
the studying. Once the flashcards
are complete, you will have a
portable study packet to look over.
Tip 5: Get help
If you are having trouble
memorizing something or a
particular concept is just not
sinking in, get help before it’s too
late. Ask your teacher to go over a
glitch you might be having. Or if
memorizing 200 vocabulary words
seems like too much to do, recruit
your family members to quiz you
with index cards.
Tip 6: Sleep
(very important :-P)
You need at least seven hours of
sleep a night to function. Tests are
designed to make you think. If you
are sleep-deprived, you won’t be
able to remember any of the
information you worked so hard to
cram into your brain.
Tip 7:Stay calm
Do not panic at the exam! Even if
at first glance the test is
overwhelming, remember to
breathe. If a question seems too
hard, answer all the questions you
know, then return to the ones you
left blank. Remind yourself that
you are prepared.
Tip 8: Don’t rush
You have spent at least two weeks
studying, so what’s another couple
of minutes? Work through the
exam slowly and read all the
questions before answering them.
If you are done before the time is
up, look over your answers.
Tip 9: Relax post-exam
Don’t let panic overwhelm you.
Even if you think you bombed the
exam, worrying will not change
your score. It may, however, affect
your mindset for your next final.
Zone out the last test and stay
focused on the next one. Odds are,
you didn’t do as badly as you think.
Hope you got your answers! & all best for your exams! May you come put with flying colors!!
