Assalam-o-alaikum wr wb & hello!

Here's my bit to the topic:

-If you're appearing in this May/June session, DO NOT take/write new notes, other than for your ongoing revision in class/academies.

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

- Set aside some time to read some inspirational text, quotes, even 'facebook statuses' of seniors who got selected in their first choice colleges etc. Do this especially when you sit for studying (in morning, maybe). This will, to some extent, set the tone of your day ahead.

- Manage your time very well. As the saying goes, time management is life management.

- Do the task because it is what you love to do, not for money and stuff. That stuff will
come naturally, InshAllah.

- Smile in front of the mirror for at least 3-5 mins ;) I read somewhere that a smile/laugh activates many beneficial chemicals within the body that place us into a very happy state. It's a 'charity', too :]
" We don't laugh because we are happy, we are happy because we
laugh. "

- Try to be humorous throughout the day. Helps in reducing tension, if you're tensed about the papers waghera.

- Associate only with positive, focused people who you can learn from and who will not drain your valuable energy with complaining and uninspiring attitudes. Like, for example, you can talk to me ( in my free time ;) ) Just sayin'.

- Reward yourself for even the smallest of achievement. I've been writing this tip in this forum over and over again. Read it many time in others' tips too. So do this.

- And finally, if you fail to achieve what you've aimed for, be a MASTER INTERPRETER in that situation. Interpret that failure as a positive experience. There are no negative experiences only experiences which aid in your development and toughen your character so that you may soar to new heights. In a nutshell, there are no failures, only lessons.

And ALWAYS, ALWAYS remember the power of Prayer. Pray five times a day. Pray as much nafal prayers as you can.
And if you can, please remember me in those prayers :''] Because, honestly, it took a lot of time to write all this.


w'alaikumsalam wrt now this is what i call a tip thank you nibz :)

Hi everyone,
Exams are approaching and if you didn't get your head straight then you still have time :)
Everybody needs a routine :) If you don't have one then I suggest that you try the following one.
It really helped me :)

1_ Having a cup of coffee in the morning is essential for me :D
2_ Make your breakfast a little snack, you don't want to feel loaded in the early morning :/
3_ Start revising what you studied yesterday, and if you already finished and just revising for the exam, then start by doing a paper 1 for every subject.
" the reason its a paper 1, is because it has a question from every chapter of the book :) well........................ most of the time"
4_Sink deeper and do a paper 2 of each subject
5_ If your paper has any mistakes, then understand why you made the mistake, and go back to the book and read about the topic which you had a mistake in
6_ Take a break :D do some exercise :) work out and get in shape ;) It'll help you circulate the blood and freshen up :)
If you don't like to work out or exercise, then you can do whatever you like within the range of an hour to two hours. "aka go on facebook;)"
7_Practice from the book. I know that the exams are near and most of us don't wanna go back to the book because we wanna feel like we finished..........
But trust me when I say, the book is ESSENTIAL! Just do the questions in the book. Only when you can do every question in the book correctly, then you can dumb it in the garbage :)
8_ Its not too lat to hit a revision book :) They are short and Great for revision " Obviously"
9_Take another break :) Go do something physical "if you didn't in the first break" talk to friends, see people, "NOT ONLINE!!!!", and don't touch the computer at that time :mad: you can take a walk with a friend, or go see a movie, or go drink coffee in a coffee shop, or go biking with a friend, or .......
Or if everyone is busy, then talk a walk alone. It'll help you organize your thoughts and Priorities :)
10_Do another paper 1 of each subject and then go to BED :)
Sleep early and wake up early :) It really is better and you'll notice that when you try it your self ;)

I hope this simple routine helps everybody :) :) :)
AND GOOD LUCK!!!!!

I appreciate it.I have da same routine bus getting nervus as exams r on ma head!!!!!

I'm gonna state something contrasting here. If you stress yourself a little on the last day, the chances of you actually forgetting things decreases as little amounts of stress boosts memory- as long as it is limited. Does that make sense to anyone ?

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 : )
which school do you study in?

The simple thing you can do is to make up ur mind first that you have to study and take stress......start solving easier exercises first and then difficult one's.Hope if you try to cope up with even the problems with simple questions...you may can attain some marks or grade may be C or D..and for biology try reading out some of your favorite chapters and i believe you can attain C or D in it too......i guess biology is interesting if you start to read it out with concentration.....turn off ur number and put your fone in a cupboard and lock it and just think that it will be with me for the rest of my life but my exams are my future.......BEST OV LUCK!!

Easy, start the past papers with the mark schemes in front of you and try to get the pattern of answering. Once you've solved a few papers, go through the text book and try the papers again this time without the mark schemes to test yourself. :)
