How to Prepare for Exams in a Short Time
things you'll need:
- Study Material
- Pen & Paper OR Computer
- Sharp Mind
-
- 1 Get yourself a fully relaxed mind. Choose a place where there is peace and no noise or disturbances etc.
- 2 Gather your study material in a logical way. Arrangement may be in order of topics you will prepare first or the topics in order of their importance or in the order the topics were covered in the class.
- 3 The real business starts now. Study the topic first by quickly going through the whole text. Now you have the main idea of the topic or the subject. You cant cram everything so make key notes, points, keywords.
- 4 Point-wise Summary
This is the most important step. So try to follow it.
After going through the topic well, prepare a brief summary of the whole chapter/topic. Make it in a way that all the contents are in the shape of points and are arranged in such a logical order that there is a main title first, then the subtitles and so on. Assign numbers to the points/titles so you will remember them easily and in case you forget some of these, your brain might stimulate to remember missing ones.
-
- 5 Make the summaries of all the topics you have covered as explained in the above step.
- 6 Now get some sleep or have a break after you are done with the study material. Give a last review to all the topic summaries you have prepared just minutes before the exam.
