Always be ready. It may be just the start of the school year, but it does not mean that you can still bum around. Well, you can but not inside the classroom. During lectures, do not forget to take down some good notes about the subject matter. You may never know that it will be included in your exams. Understand while listening to what your professor is lecturing the class.



Read some. After school, if you have nothing to do and you are bored because you cannot play the computer, why don't you try to read up on some of your previous lessons? This may already serve as a review for you, in this case, you will be able to avoid cramming during exams week. You will only have few subjects to review because you have been reading up already.

While waiting for the next class to begin, it is ideal if you read up or review some notes for it. Your professor may give the class a surprise quiz. You got to remember that prevention is better than cure. Also, you can participate in class discussions if you read up. Advance reading can also be an advantage for you. Your grades are not only based on the exam results, your professors also base it from your recitations, so participate well in discussions to have good grades.

This can be fun while learning. You can invite your classmates to do a group study, if there is an announced test, do this. This review will be beneficial not only for you but for your classmates as well. You can ask everyone to do a questionnaire for everyone to answer. This maybe a bit long, but it surely will be effective. You all will do well in the examination. Plus, you have made reviewing more fun than the usual boring scenarios of reviewing alone.

If you prefer to study alone, maybe it will be helpful to you if you organize your lectures well. Have a list of what should go first. I suggest you review the easiest topics first before the hard ones. In this case, you will be able to have adequate focus on the topics that you find the hardest.

Before you finish your review, be sure to make a questionnaire, to have a dry run of what your exam would be like. Of course, have a day of relaxation before the exam. If your exam is tomorrow, be sure to have read everything that to read today, not tomorrow but today. These will avoid cramming and confusion amongst the topics.

On the day of the exams, you got to relax. Have a peaceful mind. Think of positive things. Be an optimist; keep in mind that you have prepared long enough for this exam.

Good luck and I hope you do well in your examinations.
