An exam is probably the most dreaded thing for students! Below, I’ve shared some of my tips for how to prepare for and survive your exams:
- Plan and organise: the most important tip has to be to plan and organise your studies. Definitely make a timetable. This will help you plan your studies in such a way that you can complete the entire portion well in advance.
- Start early: the biggest mistake most students make is to leave everything until the last minute. This will only add to the tension when the exam date nears. It’s always better to finish your portion well in advance, than to be struggling at the last minute.
- Don’t compare: it’s nice to talk to your friends and to share your study woes. But if this talk leads to comparisons which cause you to be anxious, it’s best to avoid it. Everyone has a different study style and speed.
- Don’t doubt yourself: study with full dedication and don’t second guess yourself. You are doing a great job and are performing to the best of your efforts. Stay motivated and don’t lose your focus.
- Relax: don’t over-stress yourself. Relax and meditate! This will calm you down and even help you concentrate better. Eat healthy, stay well hydrated and sleep the required amount.Lastly, All the best! You’ve got this! 🙂
