Exams! Exams! Exams! (Revision)

Our school is currently in the exam period. Everything's been really hectic and busy recently, with so much revision and practice papers. We are stuffed with practice papers every day for us to finish by the next day.

Everyone's been really hectic and busy studying and revising these days that itmakes me feel sort of guilty since I still have time to surf the Internet and blog now. Perhaps I'm not revising enough.

But never mind.

I would be posting a series of tips on how to survive the exams. Today will be the first part:

10 Revision tips (Preparation for Exams)

1) Start revising early. Don't only do it until the day before the exam (which is precisely what I'm doing right now. Oh dear...)

2) Write down notes as you revise through your worksheets, papers, etc. Notes will help you remember things better and can be used as reference for future exams.

3) Sleep early the night before your exam so that you can keep a clear head during your exam.

4) Don't ever ever procrastinate! Do homework the second you receive them. Start revision months away from the exam. It's better to be early than late.

5) Plan a revision schedule and KEEP TO IT (This is what I have major problems with)! 

6) When you feel tired, go take a break. Even if you are revising last minute and have extremely little time, go take a break. If you don't and continue studying, you won't be able to get anything into your head. However, limit your breaks to within half an hour and get back to revision AT ONCE after your break.

7) Tackle subjects and topics you are weaker at first. This would ensure that if you don't have time in the end, you will at least be able to strengthen your weaknesses.

8) Practice, pratice and practice. Do assessment books, practice papers, whatever you can find to do. Make sure they are challenging though. Practices that you find are easy are useless.

9) Keep your notes in point form and keep them simple. You will have trouble keeping neat and deciphering complicated and long-winded notes. (Another point I need to improve at...)

10) My motto: Just get over with it! Even you don't feel like doing revision or homework, just get over with it. If you don't feel like doing something, tell yourself just do it, just get over with it. It will be over once you got over with it.

Well, hope that helped! And good luck to all! Ace your exams!

Once again, good luck!
