TIPS TO GET VERY GOOD MARKS
With the exams coming near, we know some of you out there might be having exam blues, and some of
you might be shivering as to what will happen as nothing seems to work. Either you haven’t started your
studies yet or you have been studying all this while but without effective result. If you are into any of the
above mentioned situation, then you are reading the right article at the right time.
“How to prepare for Exams?” has always been a million dollar question for the aspirants/student s, but no
more. Scoring in ICSE and ISC is no big deal. If you focus on some key aspects of preparing for your
examination, then it won’t be difficult to score well. Even if you feel under-prepared, you can do a lot with
the short time you have left. Below are top 10 tips for preparing for your exams and excelling in it. Follow
them and see the result for yourself.
1) You know yourself better:
So, if you had been fooling around thinking that you have enough time for your preparation, then this is
the time to stop. You have just few more days left for the exams. Forget about how much syllabus your
friend X has completed, forget about the constant pestering of your friend Y with questions, and forget
about how friend Z, who, like you has still not started his studies yet. Forget about all these unnecessary
stress because it is really important to believe in yourself, to be confident and to think positive.
Work on the points we have mentioned below for these few days till your exams get over, and then you
will have ample time to fool around. But if you are reading this just a day before your exams, and till now
you have been fooling around thinking to get hold of such top 10 tips and get a 90% by following them,
then no need to waste your time reading this dear. Carry on with your awesome work of fooling around,
as none does that better than you.
2) Plan your study:
Proper Time Management and Planned study in such crucial stage is important. If you have less time, then
don’t try and overdose your plan by trying to fit in every lessons of the subject. Don’t aim to finish all
lessons of any particular subject somehow or the other. If you have 10 chapters, and only 8 of them would
be possible to study properly, then do that. Prepare a time table to be followed till your exams. List in it all
the subjects along with the days and amount of time per day, you can give to some subjects in it. Like, If
you cannot study for more than 4 hours a day, then break down that 4 hours into 2 subjects per day i.e. 2
hours each or 1.5 hour for one subject and 2.5 hours for the other, or whatever you feel like would be
enough. Tough subjects can be given more time and easier ones less. So, if you have 10 subjects in all,
and you divide the time as described above, then in 5 days you will be going through each subject once.
That’s the minimum we can expect from you.
Don’t study for hours at a stretch. You need some time to relax. Divide your time to fit in some relaxation,
as it is better to revise when you are feeling relaxed than to exhaust yourself studying all day! But don’t
go overboard in relaxing. Maintain a balance.
3) Go Through Previous Years Papers:
After you have planned out a time table, take out the subject you are supposed to study today as per the
time table and go through the previous year’s question papers (at least for the last five years) of that
subject in order to analyze the portions of the subjects from where questions are most frequently set.
Note these topics down on a paper. This will be really helpful in order to plan out your preparation for the
subject. [Note: While going through the whole syllabus in correct order is important, you cannot neglect
the fact that you don’t have much time as of now to do that.]
4) Mark Important Points:
After having noted down the frequently asked topics, open your text books or copy, and read through
these topics at least once, but be sure to underline the important points you find in those topics, like some
definitions, keywords etc.
5) Revision Charts:
This might seem strange, but believe me it definitely works. After reading through the topics once, and
marking out the important keywords and points in it, draw out a char consisting of these important points
or brief notes, and stick it on the wall, where you face more often while doing anything.
This process will help you to revise and remember important key points of the lesson well, whenever you
see that wall. This will also serve as a quick revision guide for you just before the day of final examination.
6) Mind Mapping:
Try and mind map the chart which you just created. Look at a portion of the chart and try and rebuild it in
your memory by closing your eyes. Believe me it can do wonders in improving your memory and power of
retaining important points.
7) Avoid Cramming:
Cramming isn’t a good idea at all. Study less, but understand what you study. Cramming is one of your
friends who ditches you in the exam hall. Additionally, cramming the night before your exams is proven to
be ineffective, because you’re taking in so much information at once that it’s impossible to memorize it at
all. In fact, you will hardly retain anything. Try the alternatives for cramming which are mentioned in
points 2 onwards till point 6.
8) Practice by Writing:
This is a really effective method. After giving the allotted time to a subject in a day, close your book, and
ask yourself questions relating to the lesson you just studied to see if you have remembered what you just
studied. Then try and write down the answers to your questions on a paper without referring to a book.
When you are unable to remember an important part of your question (after trying much), then open the
book and go through it once, close the book again, and write it down again on your own.Practice
diagrams, derivations, and programs by writing it down from your memory, as much as you can.
9) Solve Sample Papers:
This is important in order to access your level of preparation. But, this proves beneficial only when you
stick to few basic things. To improve yourself and to extract maximum benefit from these sample papers,
choose a suitable time for yourself, and have the required time (i.e. the time within which you are allowed
to complete the paper) in your hand. Then try to solve this paper in the time limit given at the head of the
paper taking 15 minutes extra for reading the paper.
10) Stick to the guidance of the Teacher:
While we would not suggest attending tuition at this time, but would definitely suggest you to stick to your
school/private teacher’s guidance till the end. This is what is found missing in aspirants/student s
nowadays. Once their syllabus is completed they don’t care about their teachers guidance. This is a
mistake.
Be in contact with him/her on every issues of the subject you come across either via phone or e-mail or by
going to his/her house if that is possible. Whenever you come across a topic hard to grasp, ask the
concerned teachers. They will gladly help.
Additional points to be taken care of:
● Health is important, so don’t neglect foods and don’t compromise with your sleep [we are referring to
the normal required sleep]. Avoid junk foods or any other such food which may keep you unfit. You should
eat only as much as required. Try not to put stress on both your stomach AND your mind.
● Keep away from all undue personal stress. Keep away from phone calls and social networking sites.
● Remember, be positive, stay calm, and mobilize your energies to do the best job possible every day by
trying your best to do justice with the plan you created for your exam preparation.
● Forget about cheating in the exams. The amount of time you give for planning and preparing your
means of cheating are more than enough to actually prepare that lesson if you follow the above tips
properly.
● After you are done with an exam, avoid doing its postmortem by discussing the answers with your
friends. Doing this won’t increase your marks, but can demoralize you if what you wrote was incorrect,
which in turn will affect the rest of your exams. As soon as one exam is over, move swiftly to focusing on
the next one. Dwelling on an exam that you have completed wastes energy and time, and will drive you
crazy.
We hope that the above mentioned tips will benefit aspirants/student s in many ways and will help them in
scoring good marks in their examination. We would be gladly waiting for your feedback, as it can
additionally boost up those aspirants/student s who are still in the shoes in which you were once before
following these tips.
