hi..
I think following points are important to prepare yourself for exams:-
1. Dont change your books or notes which you had studied previously..otherwise it would be difficult to cope up with new notes for you.
2. During preparation dont recall at the same time whatever you studied. Just go ahead and all that you would study, automatically will come to your mind at the time of exam.
3. Keep away your mobile phone when you are studying and dont receive the calls of your friends who are pessimistic and asking you,"Would you be able to complete your course?". Dont attend calls of those friends till your exam.
4. There are some self motivation techniques,e.g.listening to music, going in a park, walking etc., try to motivate your self during breaks.
5. Dont go for 100%, just try to make learn by heart whatever you studied and be conceptually clear about that topic.
6. Use underlining, star marking for important lines in theory as well as practical subjects because during exam time it will be difficult for you to revise whole book and notes. So start selective and smart study only.
7. At last "Believe in Yourself" bcz nothing is impossible, the word itself says I-m-possible.
Thanks.
