The difference is all in how much you study and how you study. A little bit of time management along with organized and structured studying can go a long way in boosting your confidence to face the exams. Here are some useful guidelines and tips that could help you prepare better for your exams.
Do's
•
Structure a realistic revision timetable - start with the last exam and work backward
•
Try and assess how much time you need for each subject - depending on the extent of the subject as well as degree of difficulty - before drawing up a study schedule
•
After each lesson - note down the important points like dates, names etc that'll help you take a quick glance and refresh your memory during your final revision
•
Use memory tricks like as acronyms and illustrations to associate to the key words and facts you have to remember
•
Have a ready-reckoner of formulae, definitions, and key points for essays at a single place for a quick reference just before the examination. This could affect your alertness and concentration levels
•
Studying in groups could help you exchange notes and clarify doubts
Don'ts
•
Say 'no' to last minute cramming. Rushing though the lessons won't help in any way!
