How to Prepare For Exams: Exam Preparation Tips.

By ayurveda

Introduction

"How to Prepare for Exam?" A big question that you always ask yourself. Here are some tips that may help you. Dear student friends you people may be of different types. I know, many of you, no all of you are so brilliant students.Yet there may be some problems regarding your studies Let's discuss it here.Many of you may be working hard and getting good marks and some of you may not be working hard but still manages to get high marks in exams,Others may be wondering how it happens?.And also there will be a few of you study well but still not able to score well in exams.Don't worry there are some very simple tips by following which you can become master. These tips will tell you 'How to prepare for Exams in Short time', 'How to prepare for a high school exam' as well as a competitive exam and even you can prepare for exams in a week just by following these tips. It will be even better if you follow this for a long period of time.

Exam Preparation Tips

Tips and Tricks For students

There is no short cut to success, this is the first thing you should remember. For this reason you have to study well first of all. But the preparations are different for different types of exams. Some competitive exams need long term preparation while your school level exams may need preparation of one or two weeks.

The 1^st tip : Never fear or hate exam and be confident.

Some students study well but still may be much afraid of exams and due to this reason they get distracted and won't be able to score marks.So leave all your fears and free your mind before starting the study. You have to be confident and it is the most essential power you should have for attaining victory.

The 2^nd tip: Prepare a good time table.

Prepare a time table before starting the study. This should include all the subjects but may not be with equal priority. Tough subjects can be given more time and easier ones less but most importantly some time shall be allotted for entertainment and also there should be sufficient intervals between each subject.

The 3^rd tip: Select a proper atmosphere for studying.

No need to explain this point. Study atmosphere has very important role. Can anyone study well while watching TV? So select a place where you feel comfortable. That is where you feel relaxed and can concentrate. And you have to make sure that while you are studying a subject you are concentrating on it only. So keep the books of other subjects away from your eyesight so that you won't be upset about the things you have to learn. And importantly it is better to study early morning when all the surroundings will be in silence and you can concentrate more. Your concentration really counts. Never place a mirror in the room such that you will ur reflection while sitting to study. This will lead to lack of concentration. And one top secret Study facing eastor more accurately North east. This will give you great positive energy and your marks will definitely increase. 

The 4th tip : Sit well

This is so important that you have to sit in proper manner while studying. Don't study on bed or lying on a chair instead sit straight. Keep your spinal cord straight. And try to place your legs parallel to ground, a little bit raised from the ground. Other wise placing the legs on the ground causes ionization and induces sleep. And be alert that legs are not above the head level. This will affect the blood flow direction and causes sleepiness. It is better to place the legs almost parallel to ground but a little lower.

The 5^th tip : Make notes while studying.

This is a very important point. While studying make small notes and that should not be descriptive make theme brief so that you can remember all points while doing revision with the help of that note. An ideal note shall include all important formulae and figures and also other important points. It will be a lot worth if you use this not for the revision in last one or two hours than u skipping through pages of your text book. It won't take much time to go through this note and if you feel tough anywhere you can refer for that portion in text book.

The 6^th tip: Sleep well and Eat well.

You have to sleep well.Sleep deprivation study shows that Optimum hrs for sleep is 6hrs. Especially on the night before exam you have to sleep well, atleast 6 hours and not more than 8 hrs. Remember this will have a great effect on your exam. And have your food as in your daily diet. Don't fast on exam day. This will have reverse effect, so please have food properly. There are some food items you have to avoid and some other you have to include in your diet on exam day.Check for them later in this article (in tips for parents),And don't forget tohave a glass water before you go to bed, essential to keep your brain cells charged!!!

The 7^th tip : Write and Present well.

The presentation is the major factor that affects your marks. Whatever you studied or prepared your marks will depend on how you present them in the answer sheet. The teachers may not be able to read all what you have written. Remember daily they are going through 30 to 40 papers.They will scan for points. So try to present answers in points. In essay questions don't forget to underline the important points . Your hand writing also affects your marks. Try to write neatly. if it is not good enough, don't worry, if you presented it in a good manner you can score more marks. And another important factor to remember, As we all know 'First impression is the best impression'. So, answer the questions you know well, first. This will create a good impression on the evaluator and though you couldn't write some last answers well, that won't deduct your mark much. And care shall be taken so that you manage time well and is able to attend all questions. If there is any question out of syllabus, you just attend it. Usually full marks are awarded for such questions.

The 8^th tip: Never malpractise in exam hall.

Dear students never malpractise in exam hall as it may even affect your marks and also some times you won't be allowed to continue the exam. If you don't know answer don't write. Keep in mind that you are writing exam for you, to prove yourself. There will be no problem if you have followed the above steps, For sure you can score good marks.

The 9^th tip: Believe in God, Believe in you.

The last but not the least point pray well before the exam and your mind should be free at least 5 minutes before exam. Pray can give immense energy and peace to your mind that will definitely do good for you.And it is much important that you are confident about what you can and will always produce pleasant result.

Also remember one thing please don't discuss soon after exams.This won't do good and may affect your coming exams.If your friends are discussing question paper avoid them and come to house soon.

And above all you think about your parents their difficulties and sufferings and how they care you , you owe to them much, don't you?. The best gift you can give them is your victory. So never disappoint your parents. Study is not for them they are compelling you to study for your future. And ultimately what I have to say is that You have a lot of opportunities now.If you are serious in your studies for a few years of your life then the remaining part of your life will be fruitful and you people shall never stop study after getting a degree or a small job always look for higher studies and aims big hurdles like CAT, GATE, GRE, IAS,IES etc.So think your self and try your best.

Parents do help your kid in studies

Tips for parents

Dear Parents I know how much you are concerned about your child's studies. But you also have to take some preparations.You can be your children's guide.So please do the following tips.

1: Often Visit your child's school and his/ her teachers and get feedback about your child.

2: Speak openly to your child so that he/she feels that they are safe to share any of their problems with you and thus keep a good understanding relation with your child. Don't blame them if they got low mark else give them confidence and gave them the feeling that you are always with them. This will increase their confidence.

3: Sit with your child and help them in their studies whenever you get time.And also help them in making a good time table.

4.Speak with them and try to make them aware about the importance of studyand make them aware that you are caring their studies

5. Allow them also to play watch television etc. and if possible make them participate in some extra curricular activities. This will have a long term effect in your child's personality development.Remember a sound mind in a sound body so allow them to play well.

6. Be careful about the food items that you are giving them on exam days. It is better to avoid food items such as potato or tapioca on the day of exams and also food items with much chilly in it are not desirable.Try to avoid fried itemswhich may contain fatty acid. Instead giving Curd, milk , honey, chocolate having cocoa with in it etc may do good. Also show cares in their sleep also allow them to sleep 6hrs.

7. While going to exam wish them and send them happily. Don't make them unhappy on exam day.

Some students may be suffering from over sleepness, deppression etc. Some of they need medical treatment take them to clinic. for example if over sleepness is there the haemoglobin level in blood may be low so check it and cure it. For deppression you may meet a counsellor. Parents have to be extra care full in these cases.

If you followed all this steps and write exam without fear and with prayer your success is a must, because you all are so brilliant students.

Cracking IIT-JEE: Experts answer your doubts/ queries

THIS year the IIT-JEE is scheduled to be held on April 10 and AIEEE on May 1, 2011. Approximately five lakh students are expected to appear for IIT-JEE 2011 and the number appearing for AIEEE is expected to touch 12 lakh, making it the biggest entrance exam in our country. A serious aspirant has separate strategies for Boards, IIT-JEE and AIEEE, however, what’s common is the Board exam syllabus. Hence, it is advisable to make sure that when preparing for engineering entrance exams all chapters relevant to Board exams are definitely covered first.

My advice to students is to avoid selective study in Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics. This is because with the number of questions being more in objective type papers and with intermingling of their underlying concepts, all topics may be covered. The syllabus is almost completely based on Class 11 and Class 12. View the exhaustive syllabus with all chapters and their topics by logging on to the IIT-JEE website.

* DON'T MISS! Ramesh Batlish, Head FIITJEE, Noida, will answer your queries through February. Post them in comment box below this article

IIT-JEE 2011

This exam includes conceptual and tricky questions. Students have to be very conscious while marking the correct answers and understand concepts across all topics, very clearly. With just 12 weeks left for the exam, a serious aspirant ideally must have completed the syllabus by now.

Exam pattern

* There are question papers of three-hour duration, each. Both question papers comprise three separate sections on Chemistry, Physics and Mathematics. They will be of objective type, designed to test comprehension, reasoning and analytical ability of candidates.

* All questions will be Multiple Choice Type (MCQ).

* Negative marking will be followed in the checking of examinations.

* You can opt for a question paper in English or Hindi.

Cracking the exam

Students must focus on three things while preparing:

* Building the concepts

* Proper applications of concepts

* Practising of JEE-level problems

i. Time to be devoted to each subject (Physics, Chemistry, Maths)

All three are important and you must devote equal time for all subjects. Focus on topics of Class 12 Board exam, then revise Class 11 topics.

ii. Time to be devoted to regular classes at school

Majority of the topics of IIT-JEE are also covered in the Board exams, hence it is recommended that you prepare for both exams, simultaneously. Practise all NCERT problems while brushing up JEE chapters.

iii. When to start taking part/ full-length tests and how to go about analysing the results Once you complete the syllabus of Class12, you can start taking mock IIT-JEE tests. These tests can be taken as Part Syllabi or Full Syllabi. The part tests cover topics of Class 11 and Class 12, separately, whereas full syllabi tests are based on the complete Class 11 and 12 syllabi.

For better preparation one can join a test series programme. These tests not only check the level of preparation of an individual for IIT-JEE but also makes him or her aware about their command over the subject, speed in writing the exam, topics and strong and weak areas.

iv. Expert speak

Time management: Proper planning is most important in timely preparation and dealing with the study pressure.

* Divide these crucial 24 weeks aptly in the three subjects.

* Prepare a chapter-wise, topic-wise revision schedule.

* Create short notes, list all formulae and points to remember. This will help in quick revision before the examination.

Correct methodology: The correct approach for those appearing for the first time or second (last) time is to stick to one source and not to refer to multitude of books/ study material available in the market. For example it is sufficient to go through study-packages, IIT-JEE archives, review-packages, work-books, Grand Masters Package/Equivalent, AITS/AIITS series etc, if you have enrolled at a training institute. To reap the benefits, the students, should remain focused throughout the preparation period, with a positive attitude to study with utmost concentration.

v. Do toppers prepare differently?

The key to right preparation is proper, timely planning. Toppers learn from their weak areas and practise well in time to correct them by all possible means. Correct attitude and acute focus is the key to be a topper. They divide their preparation time accordingly. They stick to a single system of preparation and have faith in themselves. Thus, they gradually build up their confidence level and are geared up to crack any difficult question. They ensure solving all previous IIT-JEE questions, keeping their concepts crystal clear.

vi. Important topics in Physics/ Chemistry/Mathematics

The syllabus of Class 11 & 12 contributes about 45% and 55% of IIT-JEE question papers respectively. When you are preparing all chapters of Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics, stress may be given on the following topics.

Mathematics: Quadratic Equations & Expressions, Complex Numbers, Probability, Vectors, Matrices in Algebra; Circle, Parabola, Hyperbola in Coordinate Geometry; Functions, Limits, Continuity and Differentiability, Application of Derivatives, Definite Integral in Calculus.

Expert tip: Try to do as many number of Quality problems as possible to develop a sound confidence level.

Physics: Mechanics, Fluids, Heat & Thermodynamics, Waves and Sound, Capacitors & Electrostatics, Magnetics, Electromagnetic Induction, Optics and Modern Physics.

Expert tip: Practising quality problems is the key to success in this subject. If concepts are clear then this subject becomes all the more interesting.

Chemistry: Qualitative Analysis, Coordination Chemistry & Chemical Bonding in Inorganic Chemistry, Electrochemistry, Chemical Equilibrium in Physical Chemistry and Organic Chemistry, complete as a topic.

Expert tip: Just put your efforts on practice in case of Inorganic Chemistry. In case of Organic part, first build up your all basic reactions, then start do lots of practice. And for Physical Part, same thing you have to do as in case of Organic Part.

Recommendation: Students are advised to avoid selective study in Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics. The reason being, the number of questions are more in the objective papers where there is intermingling of concepts from various topics.

Synchronising preparation for IIT-JEE, AIEEE and Board exams

For IIT-JEE, practice as much as you can. For AIEEE, many students tend to think that if they prepare for IIT-JEE, this enough for AIEEE. This is not correct as while preparing for AIEEE, as they have to prepare for CBSE exam, if they are freshers. Otherwise, those who have ped also have to prepare for CBSE. Only then he can think of getting a rank less than 20,000 in AIEEE.

* Always start from BASICS.

* Build up on the right and appropriate CONCEPT.

* Don’t refer to solutions before doing a SELF-ATTEMPT at least five times till you get the right answer.

* Avoid leaving the question in between because one must learn to understand till what level his/ her concepts are clear. One may also fail to see how close they were to the answer.

* Always try a question with a CONCEPTUAL APPROACH and not just read the question then start doing without getting the point that what question is saying.

* Your study schedule should be such that you will even easily get time for a little enjoyment daily.

* The most important thing is that you should have a time schedule as well as be REGULAR in study.

* Also, you will have to take appropriate sleep or rest of at least six hours a day if you are preparing for IIT-JEE. Otherwise your mindset for next day will not be in place.

* Never cram. Try to UNDERSTAND the problem or theory.

* Never lose your self-confidence.

* Keep in touch with intelligent students in your class or coaching centre to get that extra edge.

* Make it a point to appear in competitive Exams like OLYMPIADS, KVPY, SAT, Advanced Placements, etc, to brush up on your aptitude and analytical ability.

* Prepare as per prescribed syllabi of the exam. Don’t over-stress yourself by going beyond the syllabus. * Whenever you complete a chapter or topic, go through that topic from NCERT as this would prepare you for the Board exams.

* Problem-solving must be qualitative than quantitative. Keep in mind that you have done problems covering all concepts within a given chapter. So, be confident.

* If one has the right “attitude” required towards preparation for the Exam then even an average students can think of clearing it.

IIT-JEE LAST-MINUTE TIPS

* Stay focussed and maintain a positive attitude

* Develop speed. Refer to reputed mock-test series to build a winning exam temperament. Solve the past year’s IIT-JEE papers. Focus on your weak areas and improve upon your concepts.

* Practise of JEE level questions is necessary as it improves your reasoning and analytical ability.

* Remember it is quality of time spent and not the quantity alone. Hence give short breaks of 5 to ten minutes after every one or two hours of serious study. Completely relax when you take a break. Practice meditation to develop inner calm, poise, confidence and power of concentration. These matter a lot on the day of examination.

* Don’t overstress yourself. Five to six hours of sleep every night is a must, especially three-four days before IIT-JEE to keep you physically and mentally fit. While short naps may help to regain freshness, avoid over-sleeping during the day.

*Finally, don’t be nervous if you find the paper tough since it is the relative performance that counts. Put your best analytical mind to work, and believe in your preparation.

AIEEE 2011

The All India Engineering Entrance Exam is recommended and considered to be a highly competitive exam for those aspiring to get admission to NITs and other top colleges. Therefore students start preparing for it much before the actual entrance examination. AIEEE is conducted by Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE). Therefore the syllabus of AIEEE is from CBSE Class 11 and 12 syllabus.

Exam pattern

BE/ B.Tech: The exam is of three-hour duration with objective questions in Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics with equal importance given to each subject. Each question will have four options. There is a negative marking of 1/4th marks also for incorrect answers.

B.Arch/B.Planning: The exam is of three-hour duration comprising three parts: Mathematics, Aptitude test and Drawing test. While Mathematics and Aptitude test will have objective questions and the drawing test will have questions to check the drawing aptitude.

Engineering/ Architecture Entrance Examinations (AIEEE) is amongst the most prominent exams for admission in engineering/architecture Bachelor’s courses throughout most of the leading engineering/architecture institutes across the country. Hence, AIEEE is the most popular engineering Entrance examination for BE/ B.Tech aspiring students. Every year a huge number of students participate in this exam to get admission in the various reputed NITs and State-level institutes. You must practise a good number of problems in each subject, develop a very good speed in problem solving and be accurate in calculations and marking OMR.

For AIEEE, one will have to learn some tricks to solve all questions in the stipulated time frame.

AIEEE LAST-MINUTE TIPS

* There are certain strategies you must follow to maximise your score:

* The examination may have different marking for different questions. One of the earlier versions of AIEEE had questions of this nature. Read the instructions carefully and understand the relative difficulty levels.

* In case all the questions carry equal marks, then the strategy should be based on time management i.e. identify those must do questions initially which you can easily do.

* Make sure that you identify those must do questions from each of the subjects - Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics irrespective of the question paper order.

* Study and analyse the IIT-JEE 2011 paper as accurately as possible so that you are able to answer similar questions if asked in your AIEEE paper.

* While solving the AIEEE paper, you have to be quick. Don’t waste more than half- an- hour to 45 minutes in Chemistry. While solving the paper, most of the questions would be theoretical which requires less solving. Don’t waste more than one hour in Physics and utilise the time in Mathematics.

* One last thing one should remember before taking this exam is don’t get nervous while solving the paper. Even if you have attempted 70% of the paper, it’s enough to get a rank in Top 1000.

Secrets for getting More Marks in Any Exam

Secrets

Here you will earn some simple concepts and techniques that can help you maximize your marks in any exam.

These are very simple techniques or ideas, just understand them yet, these simple tips can help you greatly.

1. Do not eat Just before an Exam:

You should not have food (heavy breakfast or lunch) for 3 hours before going to an exam.

This is because our digestive system is made in such a way, digestion of food requires energy. When you eat food blood supply and flow of oxygen quantity increases to stomach area. The total blood in the body is constant. So the blood supplied to the brain decreases. This is the reason you fell lazy or sleepy after eating food. This also means that your intelligences IQ or brain power decreases for a few hours (2 or 3 hours) after you eat.

2. Do not stay awake for a long time, the night before the exam:

Sleep is very important for you. It makes you fresh and gives energy.

If you are not fresh and energetic, you will not do your best in your exam. You will get fewer marks than you are capable of.

3. Make sure you have your hall ticket, pen etc.

You should always make a list of items that you need so that you don’t foretasting that is important for you.

4. Take practice tests at home:

Practice test are very important as you get a good practice and get used to it. You will learn valuable lessons about your ability and current knowledge for the exam.

Use old question papers for practice tests. You will be tremendously benefited from this extra effort.
