How do you guys calm yourselves before a MAJOR exam???
And how do you prepare for one?
Re: Exam Prep
I am thru with my studies but i used to listen to music to calm myself down.
give 1 hour but give quality 1 hour. read with concentration , apply examples to understand any concept and for numericals PRACTICE is the best thing to do.
if you tell me about your subjects then i may be able to give u better advise.
good luck :)
Re: Exam Prep
i used to have a timetable that I would stick to.
Studied for hour and an half then take 30 min break. Also, I started to study from 9:00 - 6:00 pm and left the evening to just relax.
Also, drink lots of water and eat healthily like salads and nuts to keep the mind nourished and able to remember lots of info! :) Best of luck :)
Re: Exam Prep
nothing keeps me calmed, i get really nervous esp. the day before exam. But then i just pray extra and it helps me get focused. I wish i could stick to a timetable like stardust, but i always fail to do that :p For preperations, i try start studying as early as possible, like this week we had break from school 'sportsbreak' and then there will be an easter's break, again full week break. So i try to take advantage of it and at least collect notes and review etc. Then when its 2-3 weeks left for exam i get more strict with it and repeat things etc.
Re: Exam Prep
All i would suggest is relax and dont make the exam get bigger then it already is, what i mean by that is relax and go topic by topic, dont look at the book and go shoot, so much is left make smaller goals and relax, and yeah different ppl like different things but music and hot showers always calmed me down.
Good luck in ur exams :k:
Re: Exam Prep
Thanks for the replies and the wishes guys...
Yea music helps me too. But I find that if I take a break...then it goes over the allocated time period lol... Man, you would think that I would have had this down pat by now...sheesh!
