If you are a student who takes notes everyday, devours every word that the lecturer says, and make it a point to study u’r everyday lessons.u can check out the spelling mistakes and grammatical mistakes in this revu and plz tell me how you do it(studying everyday.I mean.I’ve tried.never works for me!)
For those who have finished with u’r school and college(and PG)life.and have that smug smile on your face, you can probably take a trip down memory lane and think of how u went thro the HORROR of exams.
Why do I call it a HORROR? Well, if you are a person like me who considers the time in the lecture hall as the time to catch up with your lost sleep.who develops your writing skills by passing notes in class.and suddenly realize that u have an awful lot to learn and only have 10 days to do it.u certainly will understand.
So study hols.this is crunch time folks! Well, here are a few tips to plan u’r study hols
I’ll start with the three P’s
1: Don’t PANIC(u’ve done this before and u certainly can do it again.)
2:PLAN out each day and each hour.Allot subjects for each day and try to cover everything as planned.(Easier said than done.but u don’t have a choice.remember?)
3:PREPARE well.Underlining the key points and writing a jist of what you learnt will be a great help during your xams.
Few other things.
# Figure out when you study best.most of my friends study best in the early hours of the morning around 4:00-6:30am but for me I study better in the night.around 11:30pm-2:00 am.(i can’t open my eyes in the mornings.)Try to cover important and large portions during these peak hours when nobody usually disturbs u.
# Group study can be useful during study hols but I certainly wont advise it during exam time.but then if it suits you no harm.
# Try not to keep anything untouched before exams.it might be difficult to study that in the last minute!(trust me!experience speaks)
# Sleep and eat well.(i’ve always noticed that I am at my healthiest best during study hols.coz thatz the best excuse to keep away from the boredom of studying.u wont feel too guilty if u take a long snack break.)well, the point I am trying to make is save your energy.u’ll need it during xams.
# Take short breaks.when things get too heady.
# Relax and enjoy learning(nope, I’m not out of my mind.)
Writing exams
My dad always says before the start of my every exam, ’writing xam is an art.’
(and after the results.’and you have yet to master it.’)
These are a few tips that has been passed on by my parents, sis, lecturers and a few from experience.(I’m still trying to implement a few of these points)
# Finally the d-day arrives.nothing to worry.u’ve learnt everything in the study hols remember.
# Try to relax before going to the xam halls.they say you have to close u’r books half an hour before the xams and keep u’r mind free.(Honestly, I have my books in my hands till I’m literally pushed into the hall by the xaminer.bad habit)
# Try to underline the key points.
# Time your paper and answers(this is my weak point)
# Attempt everything.
# Present your paper well.try to enumerate everything in points and ofcourse diagrammatic representations certainly help.
#Don’t let expectations bog you down.Set u’r own standards and live up to them.
# And finally.Inform all wellwishers and friends that you have u’r xams coming up.they say.best wishes from the bottom of the heart really works.(now you know why I have written this revu. this is to inform you that my xams start 10 days from now…and I need all the wishes I can get.)
So, if u r wondering what I am doing without preparing.well did’nt I mention something about relaxing?
