yo everyone!! Tomorrow is the last two exam papers!! So let us all work hard together and we will score well together!! Haha!! My last 3 tips for this exam!!Tip number 7: Being Realistic
U have spent almost 3 quarters of your life in school, so you probably have a good idea what kind of results you are capable of. If you are an average student, it is very unlikely that you will be able to top the class next year. Being realistic helps prevent you from disappointment when your results are announced. The key thing is to do your best!! :)
Tip number 8: Location
Choosing the right study location is very imporatant. Choose an area free from distractions. A productive study location will be able to help you focus better, and u will feel more satisfied with what you have achieved at the end of the revision. Some good places are our libraries, school study lounges and quiet cafes.
Tip number 9: Have a Fall back plan
You have aspirations of studying at Harvard, becoming a top heart surgeon and also having a career in classical ballet dancing but no matter what, have a plan B. For example if you dun get the grades you can consider resting for a year instead of going directly to the polytechnic or JC, and retake your exams to try your luck again. You can even decide to take on an overseas diploma, which you can study at locally or overseas-- it is all up to you. [ This tip may not mean too much to you right now.. ;)]
Right im done with my nine exam tips!! :) Some may not be relvent to you now but maybe it would be of use to you in the next few years... :) Good luck for tomorrow's exams!! After that, let us party for all you want!! I will go crazy... You will see a werider side of me. [Like im not werid now already!!] haha!! Cheers! ~Gd luck to you guys!~

Part 2:Tip number 4: Test yourself
Cover up your notes and test how much you have remembered [only those that require memorising, of course!] or get your sister or someone else to help you. testing yourself reguarly help-s you to remember facts better and any gaps or imformation you have missed out can be picked up quickly.
Tip number 5: Asking for help
I think this is the best tip that i am going to give you. There are times when you won't be able to understand a certain statement of formula but there are some great sources of support out there for you. For example, teachers, friends, tutors and maybe your older siblings.
Tip number 6: Past exams
Review past yours' paper either from ten-year-series books, or even from your seniors who have kelpt their exam papers. Take some time to look through your own past year papers. Consider which kind of questions you tend to answer wrongly and where those questions come from. You can even get teachers to prepare mock exams for you or papers from other schools [though students dun really do it].
I will stop here for today. Tomorrow i will bring you 3 more tips on how to revise smartly for your exams!! For now, i wish you all the best for your exams!! Dun forget... Playing is also important but remember to return to your books after you have done paying. I have inclded a section of websites you could go to relax. Good luck for your exams!! ~Wishing you the best!!~

Yo, everyone!! Exams are just around the corner [it like tomorrow, haha]. Even though i am still on the net blogging. How nice. If my parnets find out, they would for sure kill me...Lots of people are really scared of exams. Well, exams are one thing you should be scared of but you cannot be too scared of it. Here are some tips on how to revise for your exams. :)
Tip number 1: Plan your time
two months before your exams are due to start, draw up a realistic revision timetable and make sure you stick to it. to maximise your concentration and attention span, break your 3 hours up into 45 minutes intervals, with 5 to 10 minute breaks in between study sessions. Don't be afraid to revise your timetable if you feel that you 're not absorbing as well as you should.
Tip number 2: revise smartly
when revising, simply reading those long paragraphs of text is not going to help you remember the facts and figures. On a blank peace of paper, write down the important facts and figures. You can even make use of mind maps. The next day when you've come to the end of revision, take out these notes of yesterday and read through once. Do it again 1 week later.
Tip number 3: Post it notes
your memory gets better if you keep seeing the things you need to memorise, so the trick to getting facts right is to keep looking at them. One effective way is to do this is to write some key facts and phrases on some pieces of paper and stick them around the house and your bedroom. try places you often look at. After a while, these facts will sink into you without extra effort on your part.
Ok, i will stop here with this 3 tips. Use them well! XP
