Functional Tricks for Exam Success

Exam preparation hours are generally limited. Your workload is usually considerable. Strategy is therefore essential if you are to be as effective as possible.

I assist many school and university students to boost their exam performance. Planning out revision time is really a important element to gaining confidence with a solid sense of being fully prepared. When planning, it’s good to be as specific as you are able to with allocation of time for you to task 2022 jamb expo. Like, rather than assign “all day Monday” to “Maths”, divide up the day into 40-45 minute blocks and assign blocks of time for you to specific topics within Maths. If you’re good with maintaining concentration, then maybe you are able to push your focus to being effective for two consecutive time blocks before going for a short break. However, human concentration span tends to begin to peter out after 40 minutes – and there’s no point in sitting there reading exactly the same material three times without actually absorbing it. Give yourself a short (five to ten minute) break where you re-hydrate (water is fine) and think of things other than algorithms or vectors.

If you start this method sufficiently early, you’ll also provide the capability to vary subject material through the day – perhaps Maths each morning and Biology in the afternoon. Brains love variety for refreshment purposes. Set up a study schedule with all this detail and display it in full view. It may also assure you that you’ll cover all of the material as you can have clearly assigned time for you to each topic, and help to lessen your stress levels as you can have separated that huge, looming “whole subject” into manageable parts.

After you’ve completed each of your topics within your own time blocks, tick them off in your schedule to emphasise that sense of achievement. Remember, by the end of each day, to relax and unwind effectively – you’ll have to be fully recovered to be top of your game to have back to it tomorrow.
