preparation tips exams

Success in examination is not a matter of hard work alone. Examination is a technique and you should master this technique for best results. Many a time, It has been observed with great sorrow that many hard working students fail to secure good marks despite "burning the midnight oil". What is important is not simply how much you study (time) but also how you study (method).

Some Tips for success are given below :

 1. Set Study Goals

For each day, set yourself a goal to keep track of what you are studying or revising. You can note down your study goals as soon as you start with your study session or you can set them one day prior or at the end of the session for the next one.

                        

 2. Revision (Subconscious Mind) 

Devote a couple of hours daily to read and revise what has been taught in the class. This will put the topic in your subconscious mind. Students who study by rote the entire course in just two-three months seldom fare well in the examination.

 3. Concept Clarity (Very Brief Notes)

When you are preparing for the examination, prepare very brief notes jotting down the main points for each topic. Emphasise conceptual clarity and learn the basic concepts or key words. 

 4. Unnecessary Tension

The day previous to the examination, read notes prepared by you. Avoid reading the book at this juncture as it may create unnecessary mental tension.

 5. Ten Years Papers

Go through the last ten years papers to find out the nature and type of questions asked in the examination.

All The Best :)
