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.

You have better memory for things that really matter to you. Think about the experiences in your life that you really remember, both good and bad. Strong emotions, right?!\n\nSo...\n\n1. Find personal value in the information you need to know for your exams.\n2. Get enough rest.\n3. Find ways to think about the information you need in terms of your own life and activities.\n4. Eat healthy.\n5. Stop web surfing and start reading your materials for your classes, already.

it depends on what kind of learner you are as to what method of revision will be helpful - do you learn by doing things, hearing things, seeing things etc. ?\nyou need to find out, and then for example if you learn via hearing, record some tapes of you saying facts and listen to them again and again...\n\ni find it helpful to write down key points on cue cards\nthe mental process involved in finding the key points from a textbook etc and writing them down will help you to know them, \nthen you can re-read these cards over and over. \n\nBut ther are lots of tests on google to find out what kind of learner you are...good luck!

try and make out a "revision timetable." To do this just set some time aside each or every other day to look over a subject that you are struggling with or would like to improve in. Always ask your teacher for help. Also you could purchase revision books from the likes of NPO, Easons etc which will have all the notes that you require for any subject (eg. maths, french, engliash, chemistry) All in all just try your best and you should be fine!

just study, study, and study. write up some notecards to make into flash cards, and keep referring to it. \nps, why did you wait so long to study? last minute studying doesn't normally work. you need repetitiveness to make it count on tests.

I was given tips on this. \n\n1. Do not rush. In each part you only need about 55% correct from each section to pass.\n2. Skip questions you know might take too long.\n3. In reading, reading all of the story isn't required. Look at the questions first.\n4. Work on your weak points.\n5. Sugar and sweets might cause you to think slower.\n6. Do a brain exercise in the morning. Example: When brushing your teeth, count how many strokes you take. This gets your brain working faster.\n\nWell, that's all I can really remember. Hope this helps.

1. You could make notes in class and revise them at home\n2. You could get a revision book, they sell them in most places \n3. You could go onto BBC websites they are really great

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.

I found exams difficult - so I used to write it down in say 10 points - main subjects of each chapter - make that into a sentence. i.e. the witches, etc.\nWhen you get to the exam write out that sentence and you will have the beginning of your structure.  Then you just put the substance around each each word.\nI did all my revision that way.  (and actually passed!!)

1. Find a quiet place to study,\n2. Clear your study area of all distractions; and\n3. When studying, have all of the available study materials on hand to prepare for your exam.\nAll of them are brief rules to prepare for an exam, but that goes a long way to get you a passing score.

Make some good notes, do not just 'read' by making notes you are more likely to absorb the information. Split each subject up into sub-headings so that each element of a subject is broken down into bite-size chunks as opposed to attempting to digest a vast amount of information.\n\nAsk for help if you need it, don't suffer in silence. I failed all my mock exams and was very concerned so I spoke to my tutors who were very helpful and I passed the real exams. Also speak to your follow classmates, they should be able to help you out too or provide support.\n\nGood luck! Overall, just try to understand the material the best you can and don't leave it to the last minute!

If you studied well, take a few hours off to rest.  Be sure to eat a nutritious healthy meal before you go in for the exam, breathe in deep when you sit at the exam table and get your question paper to help you relax, then calmly read the questions, take the questions one by one starting with the topics you know best and answer them to the point (no waffle and) in clear and legible language, use technical words whenever possible, and move on to the best.  Don't pause except to have a sip of water if you are allowed, and when you are through, don't forget to read through them one more time for a final check.  good luck

during your revision holidays...or before that.. while studyin note down the point and try to write the answers point wise you can score more marks if you make your examiner feel good while correcting it should be easy for him to correct your papers.... and you should have good handwriting....a clear one and ....no cuttings and scribbling in the paper which make the paper look ugly....in science remember to give demonstration thru formulas, equation... maths each and every step should be shown clearly... you get step marks...in social studies it would be best if you note down the year and point wise answers will be accepted and not to forget accordin to the question underline the key words...coz the examiner if doesnt have time he can just see the key words and mark u good..English paper is in your hands ...for all this u have to byheart the whole subject....if you believe in God Prayers and meditation will help.....take care and dont spoil ur health.... you should have atleast 8 hrs of peaceful sleep before exams...\nAnother strategy make a time table and be strict with it....newayz all the best

I've never heard of that particular exam, but after having graded lots of timed writings, these hints are helpful for most:\n\n1.  Have a clear thesis and structure.\n2.  Have neat handwriting (I'm serious!)\n3.  Review for simple stupid mistakes.  (Homonyms, easy spelling errors.)\n4.  NEVER start with "Hi, my name is."\n5.  Be specific in your discussion of the prompt.  Don't use the words "many, things, a lot, people, some," etc. At least don't use them more than once.
