Face your exam with Confidence

Face your exam with Confidence



1. Study and do your homework.

2. If possible, use simple strategy: Answer the easy questions first.

3. Catch up on your sleep and eat well prior to the exam.

4. Relax, even distract yourself 30-60 min before the exam.

5. At the moment of truth, relax and treat it like just another homework assignment.

6. Most importantly, avoid the urge to panic. I know this is tough when you only have an hour or two for the exam. However, fretting over the clock only takes time and concentration away from the task at hand.

7. Take as many tests as you can. Practice makes perfect.

Good luck!

Parents should be aware that studies and creative abilities should always be motivated and should not be forced. Considering the qualities of their children with respect to attention, concentration, confidence, tension, bored mentality, recollecting ability, time management, speed of presentation, self esteem, negative attitude, etc., parents should go for habit formation and if necessary, treatment also. They should educate their children in the way of enhancing self-motivation and providing responsibility.
