It is recommended to not to follow the instructions of mine unless your are comfortable with them too. In this view, everyone has different way of studying into the exam time. Here are my solutions and these are giving me a positive result so far.

  1. Being Happy Minded during whole exam period

Let your worries go! Generally I tend to forget the tedious tasks before a week to ensure my mind is clear form the clutter of things. This may include to ignore (a little bit) some of the tasks that tend to give you hard time. Although this is not recommended as one might ignore the MOST IMPORTANT TASK, which may lead to more serious problems earlier.

In my case example :- Working on a complex Game Development Project that is giving me a hard time; took a break citing to exam but vowed to enhance my capabilities further after the exam.

These type of situations can be taken lightly, but not all.

2. Support from family is very essential

The most important thing we students need. One needs to keep home environment peaceful so as to avoid un-necessary disputes. Peaceful resolution will ensure a good mood and may increase productivity and learning capacity during the study, thus increasing the chance of getting good marks.

3. Having a self-confidence

It is very essential to have faith inside yourself. If you carry a behavioral personality like “I CAN”, you can do magical wonders.

Many a times, we demotivate ourselves, thinking we might not be able to cover the part or it is too difficult for me. We are just complicating the things for ourselves. The more we tend to make the subject/topic difficult, the more harder it gets.

For Example:- Many of our colleagues tend to tell us that Vector Calculus, Differential Integrations, etc. are hardest. We think that way and make it very difficult. Some of the guys, who ignored these bluffs of hardness, solved this part with ease.

4. Live your Life your way; Do what you love to keep mood afresh

As already discussed, keeping mood right before examination is pretty important. If you mind me giving a tip, I would suggest take up an activity you are most interested in.

For Example:- If Gardening gives you happiness and is your hobby, do it ease up your tensions.

5. Last but not the least, NEVER STUDY ON EXAM DAY!!

Most of the students commit this mistake. They study just before the examination outside the center. This technique should be avoided as at that time, we study in a hush-rush. If one studies months before examination and has a self-confidence that he/she can crack the paper, then why to study on deadline time? A valid question as well as up for many debates to answer.

The above suggestions and advices are given according to my way. It may differ from person to person depending on what their study style is. Overall, this story was written to suggest some positive suggestions that may work your way.

Happy Studying and All the best whomsoever is having his/her exams.
