For many students, preparing for an exam involves last-minute efforts of intense cramming(死记硬背), but getting ready for an exam is not all about studying.
There are other important things a student can do to ensure his success on an exam, such as maintaining a positive state-of-mind and good physical health. Just as an athlete prepares for a game or a race with a regimen of mental and physical exercises, a student has to do everything he can to be ready for an exam. Here are a few things you absolutely have to do when preparing for an exam.
A few days before the exam, you want to complete all of the main reading assignments for your course and make notes for yourself. That means reading lecture notes, revising past assignments, and books that are relevant to the upcoming examination. By doing this, you will be able to understand the major concepts in the course that you have to understand to pass your exam. Moreover, revising course notes helps you to understand what has been taught, which places you in a better position to answer any question you might come across. Should you come across a concept that you do not understand, approach your instructor or fellow students, and ask them for assistance. Ask them to help you understand the concepts so that if they come up in the exam, you will not struggle to answer them.
Knowing the key concepts of this course, the next step is to develop a realistic study timetable. Coming up with a schedule you can stick to is one of the best exam preparation approaches you can use. With a realistic schedule, you know how much time you will spend reading up on a course or a concept. A timetable arranged around eight hours of continuous studying, for instance, is not realistic. Very few students are capable of concentrating for long durations, and even fewer are capable of internalizing information gathered during long study sessions, especially if they use digital technology in their studies.
While the majority of study advice guides focus on how to prepare mentally for an exam, getting the rest of your body into the mood is equally important. Physical and mental readiness will give you the extra energy you need to take a long test. One great way to prepare your body for an exam is by listening to music. You can listen to your favorite songs while showering or when commuting to the exam location. Scientific studies show that music improves recall and memory encoding by binding information with auditory input.
One of the tips before an exam students often ignore is wearing the appropriate clothes. While choosing what to wear on exam day, think about the weather. You’re most likely going to be seated for a couple of hours during the exam. During this time, you shouldn’t have to put up with uncomfortable temperatures occasioned by the clothes you wear. The right clothing safeguards against distractions, allowing you to concentrate fully on the job at hand.

Art is good for your mind and body. It can reduce stress and anxiety and improve your mood.
•Figure out your mode of creative expression. You can start with what you enjoy, but keep an open mind. Anything that engages your creative mind is good for you: finger painting, cooking, baking, oil painting, weaving, writing screenplays—the sky’s the limit.
