The exam is a long term memory test.There is a clear triangular relationship among the memory, ability of analyzing and the ability of writing. \nThere are several factors behind it. \n1) Knowing subject matters well.\n2) Memorizing them regularly as points\n3) Practicing to write the answers to the questions guessed.\n4) Giving up ill thoughts which you have.\n5) Meditating to gain a calm mind.\n6) Living in a calm and quiet environment.\n\nThe above mentioned matters are very helpful to pass an exam.Look at my profile why I have several degrees using these techniques.

This is what I do when I'm in your situation:\nFirst of all.. you've started! Congrats. That's 3 less pages you have to do tonight!\nSecondly.. It won't be a crappy paper if you just sit down, say to yourself, Focus and Concentrate for a few hours and get it done! Remember, this is One night you might have to stay up pretty late just so you can get the 10 extra points and a good grade, as well as maintain your already good grade! I say go for it. I'm sure there has been many times you've stayed up late/pulled an all-nighter partying.. (which in anyones defense is a lot easier, laid-back and funner).. but you need this! Go For It! You will thank yourself in the end!! I promise.. --so long as you write it to the best of your ability.. also, if in the end you just aren't pleased with it, don't hand it in! Work on it some more and improve it and you will still get a good grade and be proud of your work! Good Luck!

you should start studying, but like that guy said, plan it out. Get  hold of past papers. Do a timed one, and see what your score is. Go  over your notes to see where you went wrong. Do a past paper every 2 days, you'll improve in your knowledge, improve in  knowing what a question is asking for, and you will know how to do these types of questions come the exam. Good luck.

tell her 2 make lists!!! i was so stressed out last wk. had to finish my personal statement, start revision for january modules,  do normal work for my courses and still be awake and alert for work at the weekends.\n\nJust make alot of lists - what you want to accomplish, when, break down large topics. With the personal statement BRAINSTORM!!! The first sentence is usually the hardest to think of. Try a quote maybe. But dont start with 'I' or 'My' eg, 'I would like to study.....' as it just sounds blah!!\nWish her gd luck frm me!!

Make flash cards with important information.  You can study them while pacing around the room.  Also study hard in short bursts.  Promise yourself little rewards (going the the kitchen for a soda, or whatever) for studying hard for twenty minutes.  After the next 20 walk around the block and think about what you have been studying, that sort of thing.  Make yourself be disciplined, but only for short amounts at a time.

usually what I do is go through the main points of each chapter as well as key words and write them down as questions on note cards.  Then have the answer on the other side.  Go through all the cards twice.  Then re-read all of those key words and their definitions as well as the key points in context, to myself, then out loud.  It not only stimulates your brain's listening but its vision as well. Then when you see that word or phrase a little light goes off in your head that you remember that and it all comes back to you.  Thats usually how I ace all my tests. Good Luck!

I have my midterms/finals too.\nFor math it's a good idea to go over all your tests and quizzes. Take note of what you got wrong and then go over that topic. Make sure that you'll "never" get a problem on that topic wrong again. (For me, I find that I make the same mistakes while stating the domain of a function for boxes. So, I'm keeping a "Watch out for..." list.) Do as many problems as you need to. Know all the terms and formulas.

About eight hours if I'm short on time.  Four hours if I've already been thinking about what I'm going to say.  I like to give myself at least three days to a week to write any paper.  It's best if you can work on it, let it set for a while, and then come back to it.  If it's due tomorrow, the best thing to do is work on it all night.  Coffee does wonders.  If you get restless, go outside and take a five min run, come back and keep her diggin!  Good luck!  I'm cramming for exams right now, so if you're writing under pressure right now, I know how you feel!  Hang in there!

Depending on your teacher and how much she/he rewards creativity you could do a really offbeat topic like:\n\n1) How to kill an entire weekend without accomplishing anything\n\n2) How to pick up the cutest girl in school i.e. me (DON'T do this one for a male teacher :)\n\n3) How to appear wide awake at school after staying up til 3AM answering strangers' questions\n\n4) How to answer the telephone (write it like you're talking to a really slow 4 year old - include a diagram of a phone with the main parts labeled - mouthpiece; earpiece; keyboard, etc.)\n\n5) How to get through life on looks alone\n\n6) How to tell stories so people will listen to the end (you could do it on jokes instead of stories)\n\n7) How to write a paper at the last minute without anyone knowing (only if you're brave and you can write this one really, really well)\n\n\nI know you think I'm kidding, but the truth is teachers get the same papers over and over again and if it's well written an offbeat topic can amuse them but make sure you know you're audience.

GO TO THE STORE AND BUY A COMPOSITION BOOK AND WRITE IN IT DAILY. EVERY TIME YOU THINK OF SOMETHING WRITE IT DOWN AND GO BACK TO REVISE AND I PROMISE YOU IT WILL GET BETTER. USUALLY THE BEST TIOME IS AT NIGHT WHEN ITS TIME FOR NED KEEP THE BOOK UNDER YOUE PILLOW AND WRITE YOUR WORRIES AWAY. IT WORKS FOR ME.

Your teacher wont mark the final exam papers will he/she?  (I might be wrong!) Presumably your course work will count towards your final score?  I would try not to worry about it and just do your best.  If at the end of the day you feel your teacher has "failed" you then go and ask for a re-mark. ALternatively you could try talking to a school counsellor or head teacher (maybe via your parents) before the finals?  Whatever you do - good luck.

Here are tips, I find useful based on the assumption that all of us have equal capacity brains, which are not just tweaked the right way sometimes:\n\nJot down notes.\nRead them aloud.\nSpeed read before lessons. No need to memorize, just have an idea where to get the answer, when it seems to be just at the tip of your tongue.\nReview speedily three days before exams.\nSpeed read your notes 10 to 30 minutes before exams.\nRelax. Do not think about cheating. Just answer what you can. Remember, teachers have a job to do, too. Your failure is also their failure.\n\nThose were my tricks in College and I got accelerated. I have an average intelligence.

Im the king of cramming. (i dont however like to promote it cause it is bad). I just finished my final year exams at uni and for each module i more or less did a whole years worth of learning the night before the exam. Hopfuly i get the marks for theory but very little for understanding and application which are the most important to get the best marks.\n\nAt this stage you got a bit of time but just to learn the theory hopfuly your inteligent enough to understand and apply when it come to sitting the papers.\n\nThere must be one subject your prety much confident at. Split friday into three and do hard core reading for each module, be strict dont distract urself otherwise ull get no where (trust me i no). sat, split it between the two you find the hardest, maybe do a little revision at the end say half hour-1 hour on the easier subject before you go to bed. Sun get up early- you cant afford to get up late! do hard core reading on the two hardest and say about 2/3 hours on the easier one at the end.\n\nTips:\n\nAlthough you need your sleep get min 5 hours until after your finals. preferably keep it to 5 but absolutly dont let it go a second over 8hrs.\n\nget support from those around you- living at home? get mother to cook healthy nutritious small light meals and snacks. do not over eat or youll get lazy trust me i did the the day before my exam and could not concentrate on revision at all that night! this does not mean dont eat. eat freaquently and lightly and drink plenty of water its good for body and brain.\n\nif reading is not your thing write it out till you know it.\n\nTry not to revise everything. What has worked for me here in the UK is that i analysed the previous papers and also took into consideration what my tutors said what topics will be covered.\n\nGood luck mate i reckon you'll do well.

When you are revising for an exam your attention drops off from the start of the revision session then rises again just before you have planned to finish. So if you are revising for, say, two hours solid, most of that time you are not revising as effectively as at the start and end. \n\nTherefore I always revise for just half an hour at a time (or maybe even twenty minutes), because during that time you are working better. Have a good ten to fifteen minute break between each session. \n\nAlso, repetition is important. When you are at the end of a session go back quickly over everything you have learnt in that session and make notes on it. You can even very quickly (couple of seconds) cast your eyes over those "top-level" notes at the beginning of the next session, just to re-inforce it. But don't go overboard. Just scan them then take say ten seconds to clear your mind and ready yourself for the next revision session.\n\nAlso, conditions and distractions are important. Never "revise with" a friend. It degenerates into socialising. Never revise in front of the TV or with music playing - you need to be in the same conditions as in the exam.\n\nAlso, if you are trying to remember an ordered list, make up a zany list where the words start with the same letters (mnemonics) - Hence: Please Send Large Cows, Milkmaids and Zebras instead of Potassium, Sodium, Lithium, Calcium, Magnesium, Aliminium, Zinc. I learnt that for my "O-level" Chemistry exam decades ago, and still remember it.\n\nGood luck. Plan your revision, work in short chunks, repeat the important stuff by writing short notes and don't waste your time.

Don't memorize. \nStudy in a distraction-free setting.\nHighlight/underline what is important.\nWrite down what you highlighted.\nDon't study the same thing for more than 20-30 minutes.

do something fun . not to bore the kids or anything . some kind of reviewing activity like flash cards or a " mind dump " ( what my 5th grade teacher used to do ) a mind dump is where you take all your knowledge and just write it on a piece of paper. lol . if not then just go original and ask them questions .
