After the result of the board
examinations, where there is generally a wave of happiness running around
students, there are some tragic news on newspapers and TV channels. Those students
who do not get good marks in the board examination, commit suicide due to trauma.
This is a very serious issue for all of us to address as India has got the
dubious distinction of being the country where maximum number of students
commit suicide every year.
It is said, "the more
sweating in practice, the less blood will be shed in the battle". Well, in
today's competitive age, studying and having good numbers is no less than any battle.
The point is very simple: if you want to win the Battle of Examinations, then
there is no need to create strategy and prepare accordingly.
Generally, due to lack of proper
guidance, the students fail to prepare properly. And when the time for the
examination nears, anxiety and agony increases. Given below are some formulas
for preparing for any exam and succeeding.
Success
Secret
1 1. Shun the
habit of avoiding work
Friends,
if you really want to be successful, then you will have to shun the habit of
avoiding tasks. Whatever work is necessary, do it at the right time, without procrastinating
it. You must have heard "procrastination and indecision confluence
together”. The very next moment is not in your hand, but the moment that is at
your disposal certainly is, so train your mind to take maximum use of it.
Therefore the best time to do any work is now and now only, for future is always
uncertain.
2. Select the appropriate place for study
It is very important to choose a
suitable and quiet place to study. The place of study should be such where full
concentration can be possible with quiet mind that are conducive for study. If
the house is small or there is no such suitable place in the house, it would be
better to go to a quiet place outside the house, may be to a friend's house or
any library.
3. Create a time table for studies
Any student who wants to
succeed, it is necessary for him/her to create a Time Table of the time set for
studies. Assign a certain time for each subject in that time table. Only after
making a correct timetable, you will be able to give proper attention to every
subject. But, mind, it is not enough just to make time tables, it is also
important to follow it.
4. Spare Time for sports and entertainment
For a comprehensive development
of a student, it is important that he/she should have time to play sports along
with entertainment as well. Physical development takes place by playing sports.
You can also enjoy the Memory Improvement Games inside the house.
5. Split large tasks into smaller parts
When we start doing any big
work, it seems very difficult and impossible at the beginning. But when we
divide it into small pieces, then the same thing becomes easier. Similarly, a
great chapter or formula can be made easier by dividing it into smaller parts.
It becomes easy to read and interesting.
6. Know your energy level
At different times of the day,
the level of physical and mental stress of each person can be different. For
example, some people feel more fresh and energetic in the morning, while some
people feel at their best in the evening or at night. Some people get up in the
morning and read more, while some are nocturnal when it comes to study. So when
you feel more and more confident about yourself, keep that time for your
studies.
7. Take a short break between studies
Your brain gets tired while
studying. Whenever you feel tired, take a short break. Usually, after 30 to 40
minutes, you should rest a bit while studying.
8. Highlight the key points
Whenever you sit to study,
always have a Highlighter Pen with you. If you see any important name, date,
place or sentence, highlight it immediately. In this way, you will get a lot of
help while doing revision.
9. Set your goal
Set your goal of study in your life.
Which chapter or book you want to finish in, how many subjects need special
attention, or what percentage points will be required to go to a favorite
college. So it is very important to decide the goals of your studies. If you
study every week, setting the goal of the month, then at the end of the year,
you will be able to prepare for the exam without any nervousness.
10. Integrate all Senses
Use all your five senses (ears,
nose, eyes, tongue and skin) in your studies. Observe the pictures and charts
printed in the book. If possible, make a practical in the lab or touch the
model related to the subject. The CD comes with books nowadays. These CDs also
have a lot of help in understanding the subject.
11. Use the Brainstorming Techniques
If you know about Memory Improvement
Techniques or you have learned them from somewhere, then use them in your
studies. These techniques are very scientific and the results are oriented.
12. Balanced meals
An old saying is, "Like
food, like mind", which means a person's food plays a pivotal role in
shaping his/her mind and intellect. It is very important that you eat balanced
food. Avoid junk food like cold drinks, pizza and burgers. The right way is to eat breakfast
early in the morning, lighten it with lunch and lighten it further at dinner.
If possible, take only salad and liquids in the dinner.
13. Keep the body healthy
Because a healthy mind resides
in a healthy body, so go on a walk during the morning and exercise according to
your strengths. The more healthy your body becomes, the more you will be active
and confident.
14. Find answers to questions
If you have any questions or you
do not understand the answer to any question then feel free to ask your teacher
for help. Your teacher may scold you for asking more or repeated questions, but
believe that the student who really wants to learn, loves all teachers and is
always ready to help him.
15. Use All Resources
Use all
the resources available for study. Read books carefully, go to the library, get
help from your teachers and parents, ask for help from friends and elder
siblings, use all the resources available for internet and television, for
their studies.
