Safety Tips During Exam

First things first.
This is NOT a hard and fast rule to passing exams.
This is not a protocol for ensuring good grades.
As the title implies, its just few safety tips.

Safety narrowed down from meeting early with your papers, curbing stress and/or oversleeping, avoiding stomach upset or ill health to avoiding being broke, curbing distractions and having an alert brain in the exam hall.


We'll do justice to some of these in the next few lines.



Come with me.

Tip 1.
Never be too far away (probably at home or hostel) from the venue of your exam when its 1.30mins to the starting time. Simply put if your paper is scheduled for 9am, make sure you around the venue latest 7.30am, inorder to avoid any anomally or change in weather condition like rainfall which can trap you indoors while exams are on.





Tip 2.
Do not go to sleep 6hours prior to the time of your exam. The stress encountered while preparing for the paper might put you off for the next 8hours which is the normal sleeping duration.




Tip 3.
I hear people say stop reading perhaps two or three hours to exam, and I'm wondering were that idea came from. Your brain is likely to remain active and visions gazed upon often having the ability to crystalize and calling it up will be without difficulty. I'm sure you already figure out what Tip 3 is, but incase you're a slow and articulate thinker like me, let me run through it right now:


Refresh your memory often with your books just before you enter the hall, but please ensure you are relieved of stress or anxiety while doing this.




Tip 4.
Learn to read at the early hours of the morning as this is the most time when your retaining capacity is expanded and your mind is totally free from worries and care. Before these 'thieves' come to steal away your mood, be sure you have done justice to your school work.




Tip 5.
If you don't feel tired while studying DON'T force yourself to STOP studying. You might want to meet up with a very urgent task, but unfortunately that might just be the time your brain wants to settle down to assimilate, why not postpone that meeting if you can and give that brain of yours a shaggy ride.




Tip 6.
NEVER force yourself to study when you're feeling dizzy, weak or mentally blurred. Just close your books. Take a shower and hop into bed. At most an hour or two you are up, and dare that brain of yours and see how fresh it is.




Tip 7.
NEVER depend on anyone for stationaries while in the exam hall. Make sure your items are complete and in good shape. Two of everything is the best bet. Two pen, two pencil, two eraser and so on.




Tip 8.
Never skip meals. No not all. You don't need much persuasion I presume.



Tip 9.
Avoid tension, body stimulating exercises before an exam. Don't hit the gym before writing an exam. Your body get heated up and all your neurons and muscles are tensed up, at this point, it will take some more time to calm your system down and think out the questions in front of you. As much as possible, avoid a quarrel, a fight, jogging, running, football or skipping. A good cold swim might do a lot of magic, and enhance reasoning capabilities.




Tip 10.
Believe in yourself. Build your self confidence. Make use of mnemonics were you can. Make use of a reading pattern. Don't study haphazardly.



Tip 11.
Believe in GOD that He is the giver of success. Don't forget to pray too.

There much more useful tips out there. Pretty much, this is how far I can go.


Thanks for reading.
