1. Create a Study Schedule That Sticks
Dear, studying without a plan is like roaming in a jungle without a map A solid study schedule halves your stress and saves you from cramming. The simple principle is: plan your day.
Make small sessions of 25-30 minutes for each subject, like the Pomodoro technique. Take a 5 minute break in between. This helps in focus and the mind does not get tired.
Make a weekly timetable and stick to it. Like Ankit did, he made a plan for every day and increased his marks by 20% You also try, make a small chart and manage your time.
See how easy studying will seem
2. Master Active Recall
If you want to remember, just reading it again and again will not help brother Try the magic of active recall. It means whatever you have read, remember it from your mind without looking at the notes.
Make flashcards or ask yourself questions as if you are playing a quiz. This strengthens the memory and you remember everything during the exam.
Priya adopted this trick, made flashcards and remembered 90% of her notes You too start, write down the key points on small cards and test yourself.
It will take some hard work but when you remember the answers very clearly in the exam, then it will be fun
3. Teach What You Learn
The best way to check whether you understood what you read or not is to explain it to someone When you explain a concept to a friend or a sibling, your understanding becomes clear.
If no one is there then explain yourself in the mirror Rahul explained the science chapter to his younger sister and topped his own science exam. T
he trick is simple: whatever you read, try to explain it to someone in your own words. This helps in firming those things in the mind.
So next time after studying, give some knowledge to your friend, it will be beneficial for both
4. Use Mnemonics for Tough Topics
Can’t remember history dates or science formulas? I thought it was the magic of Mnemonics. This is a method by which you change boring things into fun acronyms or rhymes.
Just like you remember BODMAS in maths, right? In the same way I made small tricks for my tough topics. Sneha made a funny rhyme for history dates and remembered everything perfectly in the exam.
You also try it, change any complex thing into a catchy word or sentence. See how easy it will seem to remember and write in the exam,
5. Take Smart Breaks
Did your mind get heated while studying? Take a short break brother, but a smart one. A 5-10 minute break every hour increases your focus and keeps your mind fresh.
But don’t look at Instagram or reels during the break, otherwise time will be wasted. Take a short walk, drink water or stretch. Vikram took short walks in between studies and he got both energy and focus.
The trick is: keep the breaks short and do something relaxing. With this, when you sit down to study again, your mind will be completely charged and you will enjoy studying
6. Practice Past Papers
The real cheat code of exam is past papers. These tell you what is the pattern of the paper and which questions are repeated. Solve at least 3-5 old papers and that too with a time limit, like in a real exam.
This will give you both speed and confidence. Aisha adopted this trick, practiced old question papers and scored 95% You too start, find past papers from school or online and solve them one by one.
If you make mistakes, understand them and correct them in the next paper. You will see, you will look like a pro in the exam hall
7. Stay Hydrated and Eat Brain Food
Sharpening of the brain is important for studies, and for that you need proper food and water. If you eat chips or samosas all day then your brain will become sluggish.
Eat some brain food like almonds, fruits or curd. And yes, keep drinking water because dehydration loses focus. Kunal stopped chips and started eating almonds and apples and got more clarity in his studies.
The trick is simple: keep a water bottle and some healthy things in your bag. Avoid heavy food even on the day of exams, otherwise you will feel sleepy. Eat a little smart and keep your brain fully charged,
8. Sleep Like a Topper
Are you planning to study all night? Forget it brother, this trick fails. Good sleep sets your memory and drives away the fear of exams. Sleep for 7-8 hours every day, and sleep well the night before the exam.
I slept well before the exam and remembered all the answers in the paper very clearly. The trick is this: make your study schedule in such a way that you can sleep early at night.
Switch off your phone and go to bed on time. After a good sleep, you will feel absolutely fresh and confident in the exam hall, like a topper,
9. Visualize Success
Do you get scared as soon as you hear the name of the exam? Then close your eyes for a while and imagine that you are getting full marks in the paper.
This visualization trick increases your confidence and reduces tension. Just take out 5 minutes, imagine that you are solving the paper and writing all the answers easily.
Rohan tried this, thought of success before the exam and remained very calm in the hall. You also do it, choose any quiet place and think about your victory.
This small thing will change your mindset and you will go to the exam with full enthusiasm.
10. Review Smart, Don’t Cram
Last minute cramming doesn’t increase marks, it only creates panic, Instead do smart revision. 1-2 days before exam quickly go through your key points, formulas and important topics.
Focus a little more on what you are weak in, but don’t read the entire syllabus. Sanya adopted this trick, he made small notes and revised selectively and got best marks.
You too reduce your notes and focus on the key things. On the day of the exam do a quick review in the morning as well.
This will help you to write the paper with good confidence with all the deductions in your mind, and that too in timed conditions. You too try this trick, solve old papers and manage your time.
Understand your mistakes and correct them. You will emerge as a pro in the exam,
Bonus Tips for Exam Day
my dear friend, the day of exams has come so don’t worry.There are some small tips which will change your game. First of all, reach the exam hall a little early.
You don’t need the stress of being late and by reaching early you will settle down. Before starting the paper, read all the questions properly because mistakes can happen if you hurry.
Time management is very important so divide the time for each question like if it is a 2 hour paper then don’t spend more than 5-7 minutes on a single question. And yes, stop overthinking,
If you are not able to think of any answer then leave it and move ahead and come back later. Rohan took deep breaths and focused fully to stay calm during the exam.
You too stay relaxed, give your best, and see, the result will be amazing.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Mistakes in exams are also a part of learning but some mistakes can be avoided First, do not stay awake all night cramming.
This makes the mind tired and we don’t remember things during exams. Instead, make a schedule and study regularly.
Secondly, don’t ignore your weak topics, like in maths if you are weak in geometry then give some extra time to it. If you ignore it, there will be problem in the paper for sure.
Thirdly, don’t depend on only one study method, like just reading notes. Try flashcards, past papers or group study as well.
Rahul initially only crammed but when he revised the weak topics and used different methods, his marks increased. You too should skip these mistakes, study smartly, and go to the exam with full confidence.
