Final Exams Preparations Tips

1. Make timetable for each subjects: 

It is very important that your make timetable for your exams for each subjects. You may want to give more time for the subjects that you feel need more preparation. Always take short breaks while studying. Have a look at timetable example

• 9.00-9.30 Subject 1
• Break 5 mins
• 9.35-10.05 Subject 1
• Break 5 mins
• 10.10-10.40 Subject 2
• Break 5 mins
• 10.45-11.15 Subject 2
• Break 30 mins
• 11.45-12.15 Subject 3
• Break 5 mins
• 12.20-12.50 Subject 3

2. Start revising in the morning

This can be one of the important final exams preparations tips. You have to make a start at some point and doing it sooner rather than later is a very good idea. Try to stick to our draft revision schedule and start revising in the morning – research shows that you are more likely to do all the planned work if you start early, because as it gets closer to the evening, there is bigger tendency to get outside.

3. Practice lot of past papers

Ask your teacher for some past papers or google them yourself. Most exam boards nowadays put a lot of emphasis on exam technique and simply familiarising yourself with it before the exam can often save you time and help to earn marks at the exam. A lot of examiners do not bother with inventing terribly innovative questions once you have done three or four past papers chances are that some of questions that come on the day will look familiar.

4. Summarize again and again

Making notes is by far the best way to memorise lots of information. We all have been there, sat down reading a textbook and lying to ourselves that the time is being used productively – it is not! The best way to memorise information is by making notes over and over again. It may be incredibly tedious but the thing is that the most successful candidates often make as many as three sets of the same notes in a run up to the exams which help them to memorise the required information.

5. Spice up your revision

Use a bit of colour! Drawing colourful learning maps will help you to memorise facts. What is even more interesting is the fact that colourful notes are easier to memorise than plain black and white ones. Give it a go!
