exams

ah, exams...

the refreshing kick start to a much needed break after every semester of nearly everything. whether you're in school, college, uni... the end of exams spells the end of a semester.. we all know what that means ;)

HOLIDAYS!!

and i for one can't WAIT for my holidays to start.

but then again my exams are yet to begin.
and here's the toughest part...

STUDYING FOR YOUR EXAMS

here are a couple tips i picked up:
  1. study at least four days before your exam. 
  2. recite everything you've studied as often as possible (so that it sticks in your mind)
  3. it helps to talk to yourself when you study
  4. take a break at the end of almost every chapter (not including the unbelievably short ones)
  5. remember to come back to study after the break
  6. pace yourself!
  7. if you're stuck on a topic that doesn't seem to sink in, skip it and move on. better to cover more ground.
  8. if you're getting two things (e.g. subtopics, chapters, advantages-disadvantages, etc.) mixed up, try learning one in one room, and the other in ANOTHER room. it works for me :)
  9. studies show that if you walk around, it'll be easier for you to memorize stuff
  10. never give up!
it's not that hard, y'know. studying i mean. it's just input-ing some information into that big empty brain of yours and working at it to keep it there. that's all ;) 

it may be harder than it sounds, but trust me.. with some elbow grease, you'll be memorizing stuff in a SNAP!
