    Study skills, 11-12-2020, Chapter 11: Responding effectively

    in exams.

    This chapter contains some techniques and strategies that can help you
    to pass your exams effectively.

    1) The day and night before the exam:

    First thing that you need to do, is to throw away the niggling
    doubts (negative thoughts) from your mind. And say “I can do it; I
    will do well in the exam”. After that, revise or take a look on the
    lessons, calmly. Besides, try to get enough sleep, so go to bed early
    and set up one or two alarms (next to a bucket of water so as to wash
    your face when you wake up).

    2) Getting to sleep the night before exams:

    One of the best techniques to sleep quickly, is to start counting


    backwards from 100 to 0 with a deep breathing.

    3) The morning of the exam:


    In the morning of the exam try to:

    Take a fast look on lessons.


    Think positively.
    Check that you have all requisite equipment (Students
    ID, pens, ruler).
    Eat your breakfast.

    4) Arriving at the venue:

    Confirm the date, time and venue (place) of your exams.


    Avoid the doom and gloom squad.
    Locate yourself in quiet corner and run through your major
    headings again.
    Choose the best place for sitting.

    5) Reading the instructions:

    Read the instructions or questions at least two times carefully.

    6) Resting between questions:

    As we know, the concentration in the exams is the most important


    thing. So, to keep concentrating on an examination paper, try to take
    short breaks between questions.

    Question 1 Question 2 Short break Question 3 Question 4 Short break

    Say to yourself
    “relax” and
    take a deep
    breath.

    7) Dealing with mental blocks:


    Techniques from the internet:

    Get enough rest the previous night.


    Have water with you.
    Take a few deep breaths.

    A technique from the book:

    Try to write some keys and ideas related to the exam’s


    topic.

    8) Keeping panic at bay:


    When you face a panic attack in an exam try to:
    Close your eyes and breath.
    Count backwards slowly from ten to zero.
    Say to yourself positive statements like “I can manage this
    exam!”, “I can do well”
    Splash or wash your face with cold water.

    9) Check your paper:

    When you finish your exam, try to read your answers one or two
    times to make sure that you have written good answers and to correct
    spelling and grammatical mistakes.
