Top 10 Things To Do In The Process Of Exam Preparation

Varsity is about more than just partying, making friends, eating and sleeping. Believe it or not, it is actually about attending lectures, clasping onto your DP by all means necessary and contributing positively at tutorials.Then of course, there are exams. Exams for which studying can be a serious mission. The hardest part is getting started and the worst part is that if you don't do well in your exams, your varsity life is over. Fortunately when it comes to studying, once the wheels are in motion, you are good to go. So hre is how to get going

1. Set a day aside for procrastinang well in advance. This is the day where you will clean your room, wash your hair, vacuum your car, scrub your walls, write on your blog and do all the things you usually do when passing time and avoiding getting started with your studying.

2. Organise some awesome study snacks. Nothing motivates one more than an incentive and food is the pinnacle of incentives. No alcohol or any other mind altering substances as these will defeat the purpose.

3. Spend less time with your friends. If they miss you tell them to write letters nd slip thm under door and you will respond one day. This is the test for true friendship.

4. Delete DC from your PC. When you have a study break, you can read a book. It will increase your knowledge and improve your vocabulary. You do not need to watch series.

5. Switch off your phone during study sessions. Talking on the phone is a way of avoiding studying.

6. Do not make your breaks longer than your study sessions. The aim is to take a break from studying, not to take a study from breaking.

7. If you have a boyfriend or girlfriend, especially if they are not in Grahamstown, please tell them that you need a break. You need to focus on your educaton and future, you do not need additional distractions. Besides, its only for 2 months.

8. Ask other people for help when you if you are stuck or when you do not understand a concept or idea. It would be advisable to ask tutors or lecturers,but asking fellow stdents could also work, provided you ask people who know more than you do and who actually do better than you.

9. If you study in a group, beware of the socialising temptation. This occurs when three or more students turn a study session into a chill session. Should this occur, run away as soon as you can, as far away as you can. Seek another group with more ambition or just study alone. You were born alone anyway.

10. After spending an entire day studying as hard as you can, remember to rest. The body and mind need time to recover. If you don't you will blackout during your exam, or even worse, you culd get bags under your eyes. Totally unattractive!

These 10 tips ought to make this exam season a breeze. So use them, have fun and good luck.
