EDUCATION IS ESSENTIAL

Tips on preparing for

exams

STUDY METHODS
1. Buddy System. Study with a friend to revise
learning through discussion and explanation.
2. Know Your Peak Hours. Identify your most
productive study times.
3. Chunking Technique. Break down large amounts
of information into smaller.
4. Use Mnemonics. Develop mnemonic devices or
acronyms to remember lists, sequences, or
formulas.
5. Simulated Exams. Simulate exam conditions by
taking timed practice tests in a quiet environment.
REVISION TECHNIQUES:
TIME MANAGEMENT
1. Revision Timetable. Create a realistic revision
timetable allocating time for each subject.
2. ‘’Early Bird Gets the Grade’’. Start revision well
in advance to avoid last-minute stress. Revisit
each subject multiple times for better retention.
3. Breaks Are Essential. Take regular breaks
during study sessions to maintain focus and
prevent burnout. Aim for a short break after
every hour of study.

1. Active Recall. Use flashcards, practice questions,

or self-quizzing to reinforce learning.
2. Spaced Repetition.
3. Interleaved Practice. Mix up your study topics
rather than focusing on one subject at a time.
4. Elaborative Interrogation: Ask yourself "why"
and "how" questions to explain concepts
5. Self-Explanation: Explain concepts or problem-
solving steps in your own words.
HANDLING EXAM DAYS
1. Preparation is Key. Prepare everything you
need for the exam the night before. Avoid last-
minute rushing to reduce stress.
2. Stay Calm. Practice deep breathing exercises
to calm nerves before the exam.
3. Time Management: Allocate time for each
question and stick to it. Don't panic if you get
stuck; move on and come back later if time
permits.

HEALTH CARE
1. Quality sleep. Aim for 8-9 hours of quality
sleep each night. Establish a consistent sleep
schedule to optimize rest.
2. Eye Exercises. Practice eye exercises like
focusing on objects at different distances to
reduce eye fatigue.
3. Drink a lot of water
4. Don’t forget to eat!
5. Move Your Body. Exercise improves blood
flow to the brain and enhances cognitive
function.
