exam techniques

about 1 week to exams...
since i havent started studying, i shall blog abt exam techniques today

1)spend more time on your weaker subjects
well, DUH
spend so much time on your stronger subjects for what?

2) study early
well, too late for that now...

3) take note of what is being tested and try to take hints from the teacher near exam period ( yes, which is now )
not effective for O levels though...

4) specialise for humanities
dan chew's technique
dunno if effective

5) take note of the time constrains and time limit of the exams
dont spend too much time on a single question
esp for math and science and humanities
my plan for math is:
half hour for section A and B each
abt 10-30 min for graph
checking + doing of questions that you have skipped: rest of the time
*this plan is plausible only if you have good command over basic mathematical concepts and only if you are confident of yourself
*confident, not complacent

6) sleep early
you'll need too feel refreshed for that day!

7) strategise
see what you'll do if a particular situation crops up

8) make sure you study the day before the exam, even on the day itself, just wheneva you have time to
even 1 min of studyin is better than none!

9) clarify whatever doubts before the exams
ask teachers, friends, whoever that can help

10)form study groups
just make sure you are really studyin

11) self-study a subject if you have to
like what i am doin for chem and phy
make notes and shut off in class
what can i say?
even textbooks can teach better than SOME teachers * hint hint *

12) check after every paper
it may get you abt 3-4 marks

13) be confident
easier said than done but it helps...

14) still study your best subjects on the day before exams
just put more emphasis on other subjects
