How to pass an exam

Love them or hate them, it’s hard to get away from exams. All that preparation before the big day,
a race against the clock as you sit at the desk, and the aftermath that sometimes feels as stressful
as the exam itself.
Effective technique goes beyond the exam hall. You’ll never be stress-free from the examination
process, but you can limit it greatly by following these tips:

 Keep Your Study Plan Simple


Making a study timetable should not be a bigger project than the revision itself. Don't be tempted
to subdivide each hour into the minutiae of the subjects you need to study. Remember the
acronym KISS (Keep It Simple Stupid).
Try and obtain exam papers from previous years. These will give an indication of the type of
questions that are likely to appear in the exam. Your school or university may be able to provide
these

 Eat Proper Meals, Exercise and Drink Water


Throughout your revision period eat healthily and exercise regularly and it will help to reduce your
stress levels. It’s tempting to think it doesn’t matter if you’re too busy to eat real (not junk) food.
But a good night's sleep and a balanced diet helps you stay alert and able to study.
10 ways to make the most of your study time
 Pace your studies throughout the college year.
Adopt good study strategies when you start a course. Don't wait until the last minute.
 Make notes as you revise.
This will help you learn and remember key facts.
 Create a realistic revision timetable.
If you make it too onerous, you're setting yourself up to fail.
 Study in a distraction-free environment.
No TV or phone calls allowed.
 Prioritize your work.
Tackle the most difficult task first while your brain is still fresh.
 Revise in two steps.
The 1st read-through is for general comprehension only. Use the 2nd read-through to make notes
of key points.
 Use all your senses to help you memorize facts.
Listen to audio and DVD about the subject as well as reading books.

 Test yourself to rehearse for the exam.


This can be done with a study-buddy.
 Take short breaks during study periods.
Exercise or short naps can help refresh you.

 Continue to self-test through the weeks leading up to your exam.


This helps to reinforce your learning.

I hope that these tips will help you pass the test with flying colors. Good luck!
