1) GIVE YOURSELF ENOUGH TIME TO STUDY : Don't leave it until the last minute. While some student do seem to thrive on last-minute 'cramming', it's widely accepted that dorm most of us, this is not the best way to approach an exam. Set out a timetable for your study. Wrote down how many exams you have and the days on which you have to sit them. Then organise your study accordingly. You may want to put some exams more study time than others, so find a balance that you feel comfortable with.
It is very essential that you create time to revise daily, immediately after school or in the evening depending on your schedule. What you learn in school will still be fresh in your head and you will be able to revise them. Study has shown that what you learn at that time will stay with you and when you are doing final revision before exams , you will remember and definitely not forget them in the exam hall.
2) ORGANISE YOUR STUDY SPACE : make sure you have enough space to spread your textbooks and notes out. Have you got enough lights? Is your chair comfortable? Are you computer games out of sight?
Try and get rid of all distractions, and make sure you feel as comfortable and able to focus as possible. For some people, this may mean almost complete silence; for others, background music help. Some of us need everything completely tidy and organized in order to concentrate, while others thrive in a more cluttered environment. Think about what works for you, and take the time to get it right.
If you are in a untidy or noisy environment, you can not assimilate anything but only deceiving yourself if you are studying in such environment! Ensure that you are also comfortable when reading, not managing light or perking on a chair. Also note that you cannot be lying on bed and pretend to be studying, you will sleep off! You can only be reading novels for entertainment in bed, not serious reading.
3) USE FLOW CHARTS AND DIAGRAMS: Visual aids can be really helpful when revising. At the start of a topic, challenge yourself to write down everything you already know about a topic- and then highlight where the gaps lie. Closer to the exam, condense your revision note into a page- diagrams . Getting your ideas down in this brief format can then help you to quickly recall everything you need to know during the exam.
All these material will aid you in studying and the fact the you tote them yourself will make you remember and assimilate. It will aid easy reading and aid last minute reading.
