Students deal with lots of stress during the examination days. We can reduce the stress and stay calm and get success by following these simple steps
(1)Take practice tests. The single best way to prepare is to practice. Taking sample exams under similar conditions as the real one will familiarize you and increase your confidence Level. This should be done few days before the examination days. The day before examination should be kept for revising the notes only
(2) Listen only to experts advice. Do not take any tricks from your friends
(3) Review your notes the day before. This will leave information fresh in your memory
(4) Get everything ready for the big day. Any paperwork or equipment (forms, identification, calculators etc. ) should be neatly stacked in a convenient spot the night before the test. This will guarantee that test day begins well and not with a panicked run around the house to look for missing items
(5) Know your testing site and get clear direction
(6) Finally relax. It may means different for different people. Some will get relax by walking ,some by exercise. Have a good sleep the before the examination day. Eat well during the examination days. And do some exercise to relax your mind
(7) On the examination day, Take good breakfast and reach the examination site bit early and relax there
(8) Make your strategy for the paper. Some students attempt all the easy questions first and then come to tough one. Choose the strategy which suites you well
