What is the best way to prepare for exams ?

Question

is it discipline, hard slogging or consistent efforts over a period of time.

Answer 1

Consistent efforts

The most important thing any student can do to prepare for exam is to start early. The days of studying for an exam on the bus going to school are over.

Start preparing for the next test the day after you take the prior one. Daily preparation is crucial. At a minimum, review material once every week between exams.

How much time is needed? The classic question. Some recommend 2-3 hours outside of class for every hour of class time. In some cases homework problems will require this much effort. For a straightforward lecture course try the following:

Every day before class, preview the material for 15-20 minutes.

Attend every lecture. Seems simple but it's the biggest misteak students make.

Take good notes.

Spend another 20-30 minutes after class going over the notes.
Use this time to get any confusing points cleared up in your head; much better now than later. This will make later exam prep. MUCH easier.

Once a week, review the material to get a more complete overview of the information.

REMEMBER THIS

As you read, say the words aloud. Talk quietly to yourself, saying things like, "What is the main idea? Let me write that down." The secret to this technique is that when you are calmly "talking yourself through" an assignment, you are preventing panicky thoughts like "I'll never get through all of this!"

Break big chunks of material into smaller parts. When memorizing, don't try to learn more than three or four new pieces of information at a time. Take breaks in your memorizing; otherwise, you'll remember the first two things, the last two things, and forget the material in the middle.

Outline complex ideas in your own words, outlining no more than three complex ideas per page. Leave plenty of blank space on the page between these three ideas. Practice closing your eyes and visualizing the material. This process will help you "locate and read" material in your memory during the test.

Answer 2

Hello :o) There is no one great recipe for revising, we all have different ways of remembering details. However, what worked for me, was to make notes of the salient issues of the subject onto a number of A4 sheets of paper. Write them in capital letters in highlighter pen and put them up on the wall. Go over them repeatedly at intervals during the day, and just before you go to bed. Get someone to test you on them. Once you are in the exam room, think of these sheets of paper on the wall. You will find that the details will come to you. It worked for me and alot of my friends. I now have a degree in social sciences.
I wish you all the best! :o)

Study before going to bed. You are more likley to remember the stuff you learn. Also read each paragraph 2 or 3 times so it can really sink in. If you are stuck on anything write it down and ask your teacher asap.
