How do you prepare for your exams?

[Gurjot95]

I start studying after 9 PM till 12 PM if it is a important exam.
If it is a just a Comp Sci or Phy Edu paper then I wake up 1 hour before Exam and starts studying on Exam day.

I leave the questions which I find find difficult and thankfully the questions which I have left are not in Exams every time.

That's how I study and get good marks

TBH, I don't care much about the exams conducted by my school, as IMO our marking/exam system is horribly flawed. Neither do I rush to a thousand of coaching centers before the exams, and cram into my head the things taught by them.
I just enter the exam hall, write the answers, and coolly hand over the copy when the final bell rings. Surprisingly, my method of giving exams has brought me quite a bit of success. In the last annual examination, my marks didn't slip below 90 in any of the subjects bar English Literature and Bengali Grammar.

Come back to earth, you're not the only one who takes exams cool! Tomorrow's my English exam(THE finals), its 11:55 in the night, I still have 5 chapters to go which I haven't ever even read in my life, let alone prepare them. But I'll stay up like an hour or more, read them once, and give the exam. Its all about the nerves...

You always fail at trying to show you're 'cool'.

This. I try to understand the concepts rather than mug up every word which most of the people do.

I might start taking to humming jeruselam as I walk into the exam hall.

If you think I was trying to cool then you must be super cool

Am I suppose to lie and say I dont study and yet I get good marks??

I like that. Maybe others will join in on the way in with you.

As for preparing. Simple. Give yourself plenty of time to revise. Find a place you feel comfortable and remove any distractions. I found getting someone to test me helped because it revealed my progress - what I knew and what I needed to look over again. Also gives a much needed confidence boost that the stuff is actually going in.

Don't revise on the night before or morning of the exam. Get some sleep instead.

I know a lad who worked very hard and got top marks in pretty much everything. But he never revised the day before an exam, he'd do it all in plenty of time then chill playing on his ps3 on the eve of his exam.

I tended to play games whilst revising though. I used to play football manager on a really slow computer, so could go through several paragraphs/pages of notes while the game processed. The drip drip drip approach worked fine for me and you never really got fed up as you we having plenty of breaks.

Thats the key. Loads of breaks and excercise - Played loads of footie and tennis during my exam period.
