Well it all starts in your mind, if you have the will then you can do anything. Something as simple as stopping an alarm shouldn't stop you.
You can sleep early, Put 2 alarms instead of one.
And when you wake up, wash your face with cold water first, its painful and refreshing :p :D
you can skip dinner and have lunch instead. that lowers the hours of sleeping.
And try to sleep before 11 pm , and if possible, at 10 pm.

Hope this helps :D

you should cut down the sleeping hours to 6, or 8 hours. :confused:
It all depends on how much you really want to improve. There is no time to waste :)
It'll be over before you know it "exams that is" And then you can relax and go back to your lazy way of life :p ;)

The reason to this is that you most likely stay in the same place, seated in the same position for a really long time. In the same position as in the same seat, whether its a chair, a sofa or a bed " or any seat you use"
you need to go and do something physical in that case. Take a walk for instance. Do it alone or with someone, and it would be better if you could do it in a quiet place where you could hear each other without having to get very loud. :D
If you do it alone and get bored quickly, then you could listen to music. Up lifting music that is. Aka music that makes you feel better, and inspires you.
I, on the other hand, like to walk alone with nothing to distract me, this gives me a chance to stop and think.;)
By the way, coffee isn't necessarily the only thing that helps, there are other drinks that can have the same effect.
chocolate, whether hot or cold. Ice coffee is really tasty and doesn't taste like coffee all. :coffee: :p
Hope this helps :D
P.S. I finally got to use the coffee smiley :LOL:

Assalam-o-alaikum wr wb & hello!
-If you're appearing in this May/June session, DO NOT take/write new notes, other than for your ongoing revision in class/academies.

why not?


- Sleep less. This is one of the best investments you can make to make your life more productive and rewarding

I can go on without sleeping for like three days and after that I just need to sleep for like 7-8 hours so is that okay?

He doesn't mean you should stop sleeping. What he really means is that you should avoid wasting your time in sleeping for more than what sleep 'average' human requires. 8 hours sleep is more than enough! Sleep at 10pm and wake up at fajr. :)

Because now is the time to revise hard what you already have noted and prepared.

That's not a good routine, I think.

Hmm i'm going to sit for cie exams soon. I've got 4 papers for 3 A level subjects each and 2 papers for 2 AS level subjects. So in all it's like 16 papers for 5 subjects. Moreover i have to attend school everyday and here, in Mauritius, you are "obliged" to take tuitions given that our schools are so instructive!! I don't really have time to practise all 16 papers but i still try to manage to work out some of them. Could you suggest anything?

I think what you are doing at school resembles revision, right? or are you still studying new materials?
Anyway, I think this might be a nuisance but if you have a library at school, or any free time at all at home, ( other than sleeping) then you should cancel whatever you want to do and practice the papers. The reason is that practicing papers is so essential that you will be surprised at how easier the exam will get when you have done a few papers before.
YOU HAVE TO PRACTICE PAST PAPERS............
It will improve your speed and general idea of how papers are answered.
No matter how much I say you have to practice past papers, it won't be enough. It really is essential.

Well we are still completing the syllabus!! :/
Frankly speaking each time i have the opportunity to remain home to revise i grab it because anyway my private tuitions cover everything. School seems to be such a waste of time because you don't seem to learn anything. Teachers are so lazy (guess that's one of the consequences when education is free!). I'll practise as much as i can. Thank you for your amazing tips. They helped me a lot and i needed a re-boosting these days. It came just at the right moment!! :D

Assalamu alaikum,
I don't think sharing a tip would hurt here : )
it's good to maintain the attitude of solving a question or numerical and by that, I mean putting your real effort in solving the question. When you can't solve a question, re-solve the question, and when you can't solve the question even after that, then read the book again, as mentioned above, or you can do this step before re-solving the question. But you stick to the question like a sticker and reach to its solution : D And when you can't solve the question even after that, then ask it from a teacher.
p.s. Awesome tips! This post is an effective booster! thanks : )
