Let’s get started!
1: Stop Rushing, and Start Planning Beforehand See, when you rush, you tend to lose focus in
everything that you are trying to do, because your goal is to just finish something,
and in doing that you are not able to understand that you're actually
creating more confusion to your brain, and this leads to not understanding the concepts well,
at the same time not helping yourself to score good marks in the exam so what do you need to do?
You need to find out: a) How many chapters you are confident with
b) Your slightly weak chapters And c) What chapters are you keeping as an option?
You may ask why is this important Well let me give you a simple yet an effective example:
Imagine you are about to make a dish for a cooking competition. What do you do? Would you wait to
cook at the last moment? If yes, then that would create a lot of panic, hence what can you do? You
take a sheet of paper, decide and analyse what all ingredients you have, what you don’t have, what
are some substitutes that you can use etc. And this will help in making your dish a fabulous one.
The same thing goes in exams, in order to score good marks you first need to clear
all the confusions. So what are you waiting for? Go grab a book, and write down all the chapter
names of a subject, tick those chapters that you are confident with, with a green marker, those
which need time to prepare with a blue marker and the ones that you just cannot understand in red!
2: Solve some question papers and have a mock test!
See, after you’re done studying and you know that you can remember things,
grab some question papers of the previous years and try noticing the repetitive questions on that.
Try also finding out which questions are majorly on that question paper from what chapters. This
will be more like your revision time and this also creates a sort of “I am being well prepared”
attitude. But it doesn't finish right here, the next thing you should do is, have a mock test!
Mock means when you try to imitate the real situation. So how do you do this? You do this
by grabbing those question papers, a notebook or few pages, keep a timer in front of you,
a bottle next to you and pretend as if you were giving the exam in real time. You could
also ask your parents to pretend as if they were supervising you while you are solving the question
paper. This helps in major ways like You are keeping a track of time
You will know what kind of questions have been asked
You will be able to overcome exam stress After this you can re-check the answers and then
check your mistakes, and after a few days you can again solve those question papers
and then you will notice that you are actually improving in this process!
3: Keep trying various study tactics! No matter how long you have been studying,
if you keep studying in the same manner and still can't remember anything then it's time where
you would have to change your studying tactic! That’s right. See as much as you get bored while
studying, your brain tries sending those signals to your body and hence you also tend to feel lazy
or sleepy while you’re studying for long hours. To tackle this problem all you have to do is,
Try switching subjects in between: When you switch subjects for some time, you’re helping your mind
to be active once again, and hence this creates interest while you’re preparing for an exam
Get creative: Using highlighters or even flashcards while studying is also an
effective way to not get bored and also you can grab more information since your mind
will look for creative things in everything that you study, making it extra interesting,
you could also stick some important notes of formulae on your study table
Try walking: You can also try walking and studying,
maybe in your room, since this will not only allow your mind to be active but also your body.
4: Don’t ask your friends See panic arrives the moment you
understand that you haven't studied much. So stop asking your friends how much they have studied,
rather focus on how much you know and remember to give your best!
Because at the end, everyone has their own pattern of studying and also grasping the information.
Hence stressing and thinking will only make things worse, focus better on yourself and your power!
So,These were some tips that you should inculcate while studying for your final exams!
Friends it's never too late for you to follow these tips!
We believe in you! All the very best!
