A Testing Time

‘nothing is impossible. The word itself says, I’m possible’.

- Audrey
Hepburn
When it comes to exams, for many students, it is time consuming,
unnecessary, yet inevitable. You can hear sighs of relief as soon as exams
are over, and celebrations begin to start. However, if you know the
strategies for examination success, exams won’t be as puzzling as you
may think.
‘Failure is success if you learn from it.’
-Malcolm Forbes once said:
Exams are a major factor in learning. They bring out the students’ own skill
and make them think logically and strategically. It confers them with quick
decision making skills. After all, it’s one man for himself in the exam hall.
So an exam is basically just an educational assessment intended to
measure a test takers knowledge in a topic.
Many researchers say to perceive exams, the first thing you have to do is
to have a positive mindset. If someone comes into an exam hall positive
that they will pass, they are more likely to pass than someone who is
negative and says that they will fail. You should also relax, be prepared, be
mindful of the time, be healthy and treat yourself! It actually helps. Just
make sure to keep busy.
Last but not least, the strategies for examination success. They are fairly
simple, but they make a huge difference. First of all, you should get
organized. Sticking to a manageable study schedule can help you avoid
procrastination. After all, organization is key. You should study smarter and
not harder- create flashcards! They make learning fun! Make sure to take
frequent breaks and set rewards for yourself. They help to make sure you
achieve your goals. Prepare for the day of the exam the night before, and
make sure to get adequate sleep. Your health is also important!
Finally, make sure not to be too hard on yourself. Even if you get a bad
grade, don’t dwell on it too much to the point that it affects your health or
affects you physically or mentally. Everyone learns at a different pace. You
are so close to victory, so don’t give up now.
