1. Be realastic while planning 2. Active recall...... Focus on what is going to be asked in exams 3. Use past papers as a sword to defend yourself in exams 4. Spend time wisely 5. Organize study groups

1. Be realistic while planning :

Being realistic while planning especially study sessions for exams is very important.

You have to analyze yourself and this is important. For realistic planning you should focus on these points:

. When you have good energy.

. What time is good for you? . Are you a morning person or a night owl.

. How much time you should give to one chapter? These are important points to keep in mind when you are planning your exam study sessions.

You should know if can you follow the promodoro technique or if you are comfortable with 3_4 hours long session. Always keep in mind that your mindset is everything if you think you can study for 18 hours straight A day before the exam it's unreal so don't consider this kind of study.....

A day before the exam you shouldn't be memorizing, instead you are revising your concepts and doing some past paper practice.

2. Active recall... Focus on what is going to be asked in exams.

There are a lot of students out there who worked so hard for their exams but don't get desired grades or marks so, here is the solution.

This is known as" Active recall". This term is used before revising a topic, for example:

You memorized any of your biology topics a week ago and now you are going to revise it. Before opening that topic take a pen and paper and write everything you remembered about that topic. This technique is so helpful to memorize something for a longer time.

Now you know where you are having mistakes correct them and think of a teacher's perspective remember exams are the name to check how to clear your concepts so, . Focus on the main concept and go in depth about that concept. . Be your teacher and self-check what you've written. . Record yourself and listen to it, a great way to memorize difficult topics or names.

3. Use past papers as a sword to defend yourself in exams:

Past papers are my personal favorites of all time if they are not helpful then there is nothing that can help us.

Past papers are the last-minute plan to save us from getting failed and you can get A+ if you follow past papers' patterns only use them to get to know what pattern is and how marks are divided. That's it, my dear. Not every year does our education ministry change our pattern once in decay or once in 2 decays.

1. Past papers are there to give us ideas about what kind of questions we are going to get asked in exams. 2. Past papers help us to find the most important parts of chapters and how they were asked. 3. Past papers are actually the personal favorite of our teachers (it's a secret) they use it, but change the sequence of any question. 4. Try to solve them when you have prepared your syllabus fully. 5. 60% of the exam is from past papers but don't rely on them (I am not a teacher but yeah I am a student so I know)

Use them as a guess not as a real paper.

4. Spend time wisely:

I've seen a lot of my fellow students and yeah me too that during exams panic attacks and anxiety is normal but we don't notice that we are wasting a lot of time worrying and crying.. Sometimes you will face these problems and that's normal :

1. Mixing lines and concepts, you are awake but your mind is sleeping and you are still studying. 2. Instant panic attack and you are imagining the after scene. (that scene never happened in life not even once). 3. You are sleepy and extremely tired but still looking at books and don't know what you are studying.
