Art of taking Exam


Taking an exam is an art. It has nothing to do with your intelligence.


1. Know "what to study" and "what not to study." Know what the examiner is more likely to ask.


2. Do not give up your essentials from the everyday lifestyle (like gym or dinner with family) for the sake of exams, and do not study more than 6-8 hours a day, which is also in 3-4 divided sessions. Make a complete plan of sessions in advance for each day available till exam day, depending on the number of topics that need to be covered. Each day, one session should be dedicated to reviewing and revising the previously studied topics.


3. Keep more eye on graphs, tables, pictures, algorithms, and quick pearls, instead studying the full text.


4. Practice more MCQs (multiple choice questions) as available (if that is part of the exam).


5. Record a specific topic in your voice and listen to it as you sip chai.


6. Stop studying the afternoon of the day before the exam and take the rest easy.


7. Sleep very well before exam night.


8. Arrive early at the exam center with a good breakfast, available munch, and water during the exam.


9. Give social gossip calls to friends during break.


10. Do not worry about results once the exam is over, as actual life has nothing to do with the exam.
