How to Prepare the Coming Exams
Have
exams coming up? Sometimes the pressure you feel can help keep you focused,
other times it can cause stress. Check out these tips to help you cope with
stress during exam time.
Revision Tips
Make a
realistic revision schedule
Work out how much you have to do and the time
you have to do it in, then break it down into manageable chunks. Aim to do a
few hours of revision each day, and mix up your subjects so you do not get
bored.
Find a
revision style that suits you
Studying alone in a quiet room suits some
people, but not everyone likes working in silence. Try playing music quietly in
the background, or revising with a friend (but do not let them distract you!).
Customise
your notes to make them more personal
Experiment with colour coding, notes on
postcards, diagrams or whatever helps you learn your topic.
Make sure
you understand everything
If you come across something you do not
understand, try to find a new source of information that will help you
understand it. Just memorising it will not help you in your exam. Do not be
afraid to ask your teacher or a friend for help if you need it.
Look at
past exam papers
It means you can familiarise yourself with
the layout and type of questions you’ll be asked. Practise completing exam
papers in the set time limit to improve your exam technique.
Take
regular short breaks
Studying for hours and hours will only make
you tired and ruin your concentration, which may make you even more anxious. A
break every 45 to 60 minutes is about right.
Reward
yourself
For example, you could take a long bath or watch a good movie once
you have finished your revision session.
Do
something physical
When you’re not revising, use your
spare time to get away from your books and do something active. Exercise is
good for taking your mind off stress and keeping you positive, and it will help
you sleep better.
Ask for
help
If you’re feeling stressed, it’s important to talk to someone you
trust, such as a family member, teacher or a friend. Lots of people find exams
difficult to deal with, so do not be embarrassed to ask for support.
Don’t
forget to take care of yourself while you study
Take
care of your body and help your mind get ready for your final. Getting a good
night’s sleep, eating a good meal the morning of your exam, and drinking enough
water can make a positive difference in your exam grade.
Reasons
to Be Happy During an Exam
Happiness
is the key to good results. A happy brain is able to think fast and make better
decisions. Serotonin is called the happiness hormone which is released when you
are happy and satisfied. Appropriate levels of serotonin improve
memory, and following are some of the other factors:
– Enhanced
long-term and short-term memory,
– Better
ability to think logically,
– Improved
reasoning skills,
– Ability
to combat stress,
– Capacity
to learn more in short time.
