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
