One of the best strategies to excel in any test or exam is to:
PLAN: Make sure to plan the time required to cover the syllabus, important topics and their weightage, also ensure that you have a thorough understanding of topics that will be asked in your exam and the types of questions that follow that exam pattern.
Once you have an outline of all of the above, it will become very easy for you to go to comprehend the next step.
Schooglink tip: At the end of each study session, make a list of what you need to cover the next time you study.
PREPARE: Now that you have a detailed plan in front of you, focus upon the preparation.
EXECUTE: This part of the preparation requires the most amount of dedication. Be prepared. Do a quick review of all the main topics after that go back to the topics that are more difficult and read those in more detail.
Make notes, underline the important terms, write important concepts and make their key abbreviations. Identify the shortcut methods of remembering the concepts, learn and repeat.
Schooglink tip: Read the entire syllabus first before starting your preparation.
MANAGE: Time management holds inevitable importance in the preparation of any exam. Manage it effectively, this does not mean studying for 22 hrs in a day but eventually distributing your study hours.
If you want you can create groups with people for discussing the concepts and information with each other. Adapt the learning way of making connections and relationships between facts and ideas.
Schooglink tip: Before each task, remind yourself of its specific purpose.
REVISE: A good technique for revision is to make summaries – make notes from each week in your own words. Summaries can be written in full sentences, as dot points in practice sheets, or even verbal. Make sure to write down everything – key points, important questions, areas for further study, any breakthroughs.
Schooglink tip: Don’t study hard but study smart.
It is absolutely fine to get nervous before an exam but don’t overstress. Be confident about your preparation and believe in your hard work. All the very best for your next exam. Always remember what Mahatma Gandhi once said, “The future depends on what you do today.”
