Find Meaning
You must not make grades as the marrow of your brains because grades do not really measure your intelligence. Instead, look upon your effort and efficiency. You must find meaning and dignity in studying your academic subjects.
Spice Life
It is absolutely important to follow some daily schedule to organize your time but do not fill it all with school works. Put spice in it. If not, you will end up bored. Take a break to recharge your batteries. Take a nap, listen to music, or watch your favorite video, movie, or television show or program.
Reward Yourself
Practice the principles of reinforcement. In other words, try to reward yourself after a long and hard examination. Treat yourself to a good movie or a hearty dinner.
Avoid Memorization
Memorization is part of a student's burden. Try to avoid memorization and instead understand your lesson. You will remember it when you call the relation of information and then connect it little by little.
Do Not Cram
Most students who cram usually explode with tension and nervousness that result to mental block at the very minute of the examinations. To be safe, study or review your lessons every night although there is no examination the very next day.
Satisfy Yourself
It is hard to do something at the middle of the examination week, but it is harder to think about what the examination will be, whether it is average or difficult. Be positive and do your best. Do what you want to do before an examination so that you will have a peace of mind during the examination proper. Of course, do not procrastinate, read and study your lessons. Do not play all day long.
Pray
Do not forget to pray to God and keep in mind the famous quotation, “Do your best and God will do the rest.”
