Exam preparation tips for finals

Across South Africa learners are preparing to write their end of year exams, and finals for matriculants.

Here are a few preparation tips to help students ace in exams:
Before starting with the studies, students should design their own time-table which directs all the material that has to be covered and tells them how much is needed to be studied each day. A schedule of every subject should be made with different priorities.
Tough subjects and the ones in which a student is weak should be given more hours, and easier ones should be given less hours with sufficient intervals between each subject. It is important that the timetable has breaks in between.
Students should let go of the cramming part as it is not a good method of studying. Instead of this, they should make short notes while studying.
Cramming everything can result in forgetting everything and making brief notes can help in remembering all points while revising the subject.
If the big question of where to study confuses you, the answer to it is very simple – study in a place where you feel comfortable, relaxed and where you can concentrate properly.
If you can, study early morning and head to a library or any place where you find a quiet ambience.
The biggest mistake students commit during exam time is that they don’t sleep and eat well. They think sleeping is a waste of time.
They should believe in the fact that they need to sleep between six to eight hours a night. They also need to take care of their diet. They should try and avoid eat junk food, and instead include food which supplies continuous energy to their brain for a longer period of time.
When students write neatly and present their answer sheet in a proper way, they have more chances of securing high marks.
Many times the teacher is not able to read all the answers but if she is impressed by the way it has been presented then it would definitely lead to less deduction of marks.
