Effective way of reviewing your periodical exams
Dec
21
The school management announces he schedule of exams well in advance. As soon as you find out, list all your subjects and arrange their individual schedule chronologically.
- Seven days before the first day of exams, review the subjects scheduled for that first day. For example, subjects 1 to 3 for day 1. Then subjects 4 and 5 for the day 2 and subjects 6 for the day 3.
- Whether you still have classes on those review days, go ahead and review after classes. Otherwise, review at home in the morning, in the afternoon and in the evening, depending on the number of subjects you have to review on that particular day.
- Before the first day of review, gather all the materials or notes to be reviewed and group them according to subjects. Put all the subjects belonging to the same exam day and start with those in the first exam day.
- Give two or three days before the first review day for the preparation of review and group hem according to subjects. This is the core of the sure fire method. These review guides will cover the entire scope of the exams and will test you ahead of the actual periodicals, but in a much more comprehensive and difficult way. These guides will honestly test you for thoroughness and clarity of retention. They will imitate your teacher’s test style and even more.
- In each of the review guides, ask all the possible questions your teacher can think of. Go through every lesson from beginning to end of the term. Include even those which you think are not important and those which the teacher always mentions. Do not take chances.
- The review guides require overall retention and comprehension, not just memorization. They are your assurance that you get the highest grade.
- Make the review guides look like actual periodical exam papers themselves. Put blanks and spaces but do not fill them up yet. Answer the questions mentally and quietly. if you cannot give all the answer, jot down what you are unable to answer and return to them later. Finish answering your own questions till the end
- There shoul be only three review days at the most, so divide your subjects nto these three review days.
