8 HINTS FOR BETTER PREPARATION OF RAS
Here are some Tips and Hints on how to prepare for your exams-
Hint 1: Start Early As Possible
1. Get started preparation as soon as possible.
2. Preparation for exams should begin earlier than the day before the Exam.
3. You can’t cram an entire unit of information into an all-nighte.
4. Get started at least a week before the exam.
Hint 2: Highlight the Important Things
1. One of the best ways is to make succinct outlines.
2. Once you have decided what you need to study and how much time you need to
spend studying, it is time to actually study.
3. When you have finished with all the material, you will have an outline
you can review.
4. As you read over your textbook and class notes, write a brief summary for
each topic. Highlight the areas in your outline that were most troublesome.
Hint 3: Read Carefully
1. Work through the exam slowly and read all the questions before answering
them.
2. You have spent at least two weeks studying, so what’s another couple of
minutes?
3. If you are done before the time is up, look over your answers.
Hint 4: Make Schedule for Review
1. Cover a small amount of material for each class each day.
2. Begin by making yourself a calendar outlining a daily schedule of topics
for review.
3. Every time you complete a topic, give yourself a mini review.
Hint 5: Use Flashcards
1. By writing down the information from your outline, you are already doing
half the studying.
2. Similar to outlining, making flashcards is a really helpful technique for
studying.
3. Once the flashcards are complete, you will have a portable study packet
to look over.
Hint 6: Keep Calm at the Time of Study
1. If a question seems too hard, answer all the questions you know, then return
to the ones you left blank.
2. Remind yourself that you are prepared.
3. Do not panic at the exam! Even if at first glance the test is
overwhelming, remember to breathe.
Hint 7: Ask From Your Teacher/Elder
1. Ask your teacher to go over a glitch you might be having.
2. If you are having trouble memorizing something or a particular concept is
just not sinking in, get help before it’s too late.
3. If memorizing 200 vocabulary words seems like too much to do, recruit
your family members to quiz you with index cards.
Hint 8: Sleep Well at least 7 Hours
1. Exams are designed to make you think.
2. You need at least seven hours of sleep a night to function.
3. If you are sleep-deprived, you won’t be able to remember any of the
information you worked so hard to cram into your brain.
4. Even if you think you bombed the exam, worrying will not change
your score.
5. It may, however, affect your mindset for your next final.
6. Zone out the last test and stay focused on the next one.
