There are various ways to quieten those butterflies fluttering in your stomach. Why not think of exam months as a time of celebration? As pleasure, instead of pressure? Prepare with expectations of joy, he said, as you would a festival!
Prepare well: Stick to a timetable. Learn all the lessons and plan last-minute revision according to the exam dates. While studying, take notes of points for quick reference on the exam day. Make flow-charts of topics/sub-topics/points, draw mind-maps, list major information on charts and display them on the wall. Read them constantly.
Relax: Your preparation is thorough. Great. But sometimes, you could forget a word/phrase/formula as you write the answer. Once outside, it comes rushing back to you because you are free of exam tension. Stay relaxed, tension-free, and you’ll remember what you studied.
Attitude: Always ask — “Will I do better than what I did in the previous exam?” Your competition is with yourself, not others. This is healthy, and it helps you improve without feeling low or depressed. Do not have unreal expectations of yourself. Accept your weak areas and work on them. “Accepting shortcomings opens solutions; expectations put hurdles in the way.”
Stay healthy: We can not say this often enough: Get enough sleep. Stop studying at a particular hour, lie down, allow your mind to relax and ease into sleep gradually. If you are studying all night, your bio-rhythm needs to change to adjust to the exam schedule — you don’t want to fall asleep over the answer-sheet. So, two weeks before exams start, shift to the normal sleeping hours at night and stay awake during the day.
Stay stress-free: This is easy to say, difficult to follow. But it needs to be done. After two-three hours of study, take a five-minute break. Get up, stretch, take a short walk, drink water (big de-stresser), rest your eyes and breathe deeply. Exchange jokes, laugh and talk about happy incidents in school.
