Last minute hacks for exam preparations

No matter how much you have or haven’t studied throughout the year, what time table you follow immediately before the exams can be a life changer. Certainly, leaving the complete syllabus for a day or two before the exams can get you in a lot of trouble with basically struggling to pass the exam somehow but other that that, last minute revision becomes very crucial to score good marks. No matter how much people ridicule it, but last  minute studying is helpful and important. 

The first thing to do is revise all that you’ve studied throughout the year, notes, important topics, difficult topics everything. Stay aloof and away from all and focus on what you know rather than focusing on what you don't know. Revise what you know. Picking up new topics just a few days before the exams is a big NO and it can get very haphazard, possibly making you forget everything else. It would be great if you revise the notes you have made, which are short and crisp inspite of the entire thing. Revise smallest of the things, which accounts for big marks, like formulae, valency, equation etc, which may be small but hold good value.

Avoid group studies because more often that not, they’re just a waste of time with a few people making sure that the others are not able to study as well. The most important thing is to not lose confidence on yourself because once you lose that you’re doomed. Finish all of it, atleast 5-7 minutes before the exam time and close it all off. While entering the exam, enter only with your prerequisites and stay calm and find your seat early and grab it. For good 2 minutes take a feel of it and start humming a song a chill. At the end just remember that this is just an exam and not the end of the world. If you mess it up thats okay, you’ll have enough opportunities in  the future as well.
