Very few people look forward to and enjoy exams.That doesn’t have to mean that you should be afraid of them,though.The following tips will help you get through that terrible exam period.
Here are eight steps to help you during exams:
1.Make sure you know how much time you will have in the exam and how many questions there will be.Then you can divide your time among the questions to make sure they all get answered.
2.When you’re doing an exam that involves long answers,it is a good idea to leave some space at the end of the answer so that you can add any extra comments that might come to mind when you reread your paper.
3.Don’t spend all of your time only on questions that you know answers to because you will get a worse mark for answering some questions very well and some not at all.
4.It is worth taking a little extra time to make sure that your handwriting is neat.The examiner will be able to read it!Try to avoid spelling mistakes too!
5.The more prepared you are,the more likely you are to succeed.
6.Keep calm.If you feel yourself getting worried,take a deep breath.
7.Don’t try to discuss the exam after you’ve finished it.If you’ve got different answers from your friends,there’s no point in worrying about it.
8.Once an exam is over,just forget about it.There is nothing more you can do about it.The best thing you can do is to go home and prepare for the next one.
