Here's how to feel better as you prepare for your exams:\n\n1. EXERCISE: jogging, cycling, swimming, with or without friends, for just 30 minutes each day.  Exercise is great!  It makes you FEEL GOOD in the brain, it helps you SLEEP WELL, it helps you CONTROL STRESS...\n\n2: SLEEP: try to stick to the same sleep patterns each day.  At least 8 hours sleep per night (e.g. 11pm - 7am)\n\n3: TREAT YOURSELF... if you achieve all the revision you expected to do during the day, reward yourself!  Go to the cinema, eat out with your friends, or just spend the evening chilling out...\n\n4: PLAN YOUR WORK... at the start of each day, plan what you want to get achieved in that day.  You'll feel like you have more control over your work.  Be a master of time, not a slave of it.\n\n5: FRESH AIR and WATER both help.  Open your window in the room where you work and keep drinking water.  2% dehydration reduces your concentration by 20%.  \n\nAll these tips help you feel good and will keep you smiling even when doing the most boring subject of them all.  (English, perhaps?)\n\nGood luck in your exams and remember, there's a long summer holiday to follow!

Hey Sneha, I have exams too... whenever you feel really pressured, just remember that you're not the only one, there are lots of others taking exams too, and you're not alone. Take short breaks in between studying and do something else where you don't require much thought, even if it just means closing your eyes and relaxing for 10 mins. Eat and drink healthy. And last, but not least, remember that in the event that you don't do as well as you thought you would, it's not the end of the world. Don't let this thought stop you from working hard this time, but remember, there's always a next time! Good luck!

To get good marks and improve yourself in boards exam you need to be determined, levelheaded & instead of studying the whole day or not taking studies seriously you should give equal time to studues, entertaintment and rest.Always be calm and don't take studies as a burden, enjoy studying and try to learn more and more.Never keepany homework pending be equal in studies with your teacher so that you get sufficient time for revising your lessons.\nBEST OF LUCK!!

Get your hubby to help out more.  If he won't, then go on strike.  How old are your kids?  If they're old enough, they should have chores.  No one should have to work more than others in a family.

You should try the following approach to do great in school. Lets say that you are an average student getting about 75% in school tests.\n\nYou can't achieve grades by just saying that u want to.The work needs commitment to yourself and your goals.Have a clear cut goal,say, you need to have 95% as your final goal.But work in a step by step manner. Let's put it bluntly, you CAN'T have 95% overnight or even in 1 month. But yes, you could set a primary goal of lets say 80%. Achieve it.Then increase the goal to 87%, achieve it then 92% and then 95%.You should follow this approach.I give you a time frame of 1 yr to achieve the goal. If you want something faster this is not meant for you then.It is not a quick fix solution to help you...we  are talking of you being having 75% and going on 95%, it cannot be a sudden jump.Follow these steps\n\n1.Your final exams are lets say 2 months later, and you have a huge deal of syllabus to cover. DON'T LEAVE ANYTHING TO THE VERY END.Start preparing right away.\n\n2.You could adopt 2 kinds of approaches to work on: do any two subjects each day or have a fixed time span to complete one subject. If, the syllabus that is coming for the exams has already been taught in school, i'd suggest you take the second method, but if it isn't you should rather take in the first method.Both are equally good, it depends on you.\n\n3.Make your schedule flexible. Provide for allowances and unexpected happenings. Give yourself a break after every session of 45 minutes. The break should be of 10 minutes and NOT MORE THAN THAT.\n\n4.Your syllabus should be completed in the following manner:\na)LEARNING:You learn everything that is to be covered. After you learn a chapter, ask someone to listen to what you learnt,immediately.After all,you need to bake the pot you have moulded.It really helps.It should constitute 65% of your shedule days\nb)1st REVISION:Set some days for the revision of material that you have learnt. Join some class that gives test series or ask someone at home/teachers to test you out.This mauy involve written tests,orals.Essentially this revision should be 25% of your study schedule days\nc)2nd REVISION: This is the repition of the above mentioned step but is directly after it\n\n5.For Math you should have lots and lots of practise, I tell you Maths can either make your score or break it. The key heere is practise. If you aren't good at maths, seek help, join tutions. The key here is that you should have done your bokk at least THREE TIMES before the exam.TRY TO DO A FEW SUMS EVERYDAY\n\n6.One basic reason why most students don't do so well because of the lack of initiative and the involvement of the parents . Ask your parents not only to help you but monitor you and keep a check on you always.\n\n7.Do not stick to the computer/TV when you know you should hve been studying.My TV had been packed in my exams too, and i must say it helped.\n\n8.Have someone in your class with whom you can have constant competition. Have that "I have to beat that bloody bastard" kind of spirit. It helps!\n\n9. Be truthful to yourself. If you know that you have completed a chapter only superflously and see that others are playing all around acknowledge this fact because "you want to do extremely well at school in order to achieve greatness as education is the key to real greatness."Isn't it?\n\n10.Do not get dejected if you aren't able to achive the short term goal. Keep the ultimate goal in your mind. Work hard and be serious, no one can stop you from coming to the head of the class\n\n11. Listen to what the teacher says in school, sometimes they give huge hints about the questions to be asked in exams. Keep your eyes and ears open always. \n\n12. Prepare notes(only if you feel they shall be of help)\nThey give they crux of the chapter.\n\n13.Try to please the teacher, don't be a punk and get carried away by the crowd. Teachers get impressed when you ask int

Get started!  It's the best way to get done.  I agree with doing the easy stuff first - you get some of it out of the way and you get a good feeling of accomplishment / progress so that you don't burn out too fast.\n\nWork smart, not hard - use your resources (I don't mean cheating!  That will only mess you up at test time.  I mean valid resources) and "create" more as you can.  For instance, \n\n- for tests, I used to make flash cards of the major material.  You can bring them with you most places to study in the car, while you're waiting for other things, etc.  Writing out the flash cards may help you remember things, they're easy to transport and they focus your studying to the relevant facts each time rather than the whole of the material.\n\n- for written homework, this will often just take time, but you can still bring some of your smaller books with you to be able to work during other free periods (waiting at a dr's office, waiting for your other classes to start, etc.)  \n\nUse your time wisely - it's easy to waste time or to get very caught up in the amount you have to do so that you are paralyzed into inaction.  Be careful of this.  Consider a tutor if you're having difficulty with certain subjects - in the long run, your improved understanding will save you a lot of time.  You can also consider a time management or stress management class if your school offers one.\n\nIf you truly have too much, talk to your parents about cutting out some of the other activities or classes.  You do not have to work 24/7 and should have time to do things you enjoy as well, so make sure your workload, though probably challenging, is realistic.

It's tough, but go for it!!

Well I am not exactly the best one to answer this one, because trust me I got my final exams from the 18th of this month and here I am answering questions on preventing procrastinating. LOL!! But here's my advice. Go ahead, select someone else !\nTake the task, break it out in small parts and allocate specific times for that. Allow times for your meals and some kind of entertainment. Once that is done, be very particular to follow that rigorously. I mean when u allocate 10 mins for music, stop it after 10 mins dun go beyond that. I know it is difficult and we lose track of time when we love something. But atleast for the time period u have to follow it. There is no-one or one thing which can motivate urself, but urself. You have maintain the balance. Its very important. \nBest of luck to you, and i expect best of luck from you to me as well.\nLOL !!

To me, balancing in life is being able to divide your time in the order of YOUR priority.  As we play multi-roles in our daily life- we have to check that we are not neglecting our role as a daughter/son / spouse/ parent/employee/ community/friend.  But dont forget to set aside time for ourselves too! Good luck with that speech!
