1. Preparation process.
Firstly, it’s
crucial to understand the benefits of starting early. Leaving the
preparation for the last moment will only backfire and result in added stress.
Set up a
timetable to manage the time effectively.
2. Organise your space for study.
Creating nice
vibes is more important than anything else. It is easy for you to get bored
within minutes of starting the preparation. Similarly, distraction is yet
another issue with students.
Start by
organising the study area. Keep it as organised as possible with minimal
distractions. Keep the smartphones, video games and other devices away while you
are at the desk studying. Also, ensure there is good light in the room, with some
appliances to help you focus (a comfortable armchair, your favourite mug with
tea or latteJ, cosy slippers and so on).
3. Arrange for the old papers to practice.
Practising and
reviewing old exam papers is one effective way of preparing for exams. It
not only familiarises you with the format of the exam paper but helps you
manage the time while answering the tasks. Don’t forget about your English
materials (Warto utrwalić… ), including
important expressions, typical exam vocabulary and exceptions as well.
4. Create study goals.
It is important
to have a study goal for each study session. This helps in tracking what needs
to be studied and what needs to be revised.

5. Organise study sessions with friends.
Another thing
you can do to boost your exam preparation is by organising study sessions with
a school friend.
It will allow
you to share and get answers to challenging concepts.
But, it is
important to ensure that you don’t waste your time and instead focus on
preparing!
6. Choose your learning style.
No two people
are the same, meaning their learning styles will differ, too. You need to
understand what learning style suits you best. For instance, do you find
yourself listening to music a lot? If yes, then it seems you are an auditory
learner.
If you prefer
visual aspects, introduce visual learning sessions.
The notion
behind acquiring a learning style is to make it easy to memorise facts and key
concepts better.
7. Take regular breaks.
Studying for
hours doesn’t necessarily make the session productive; instead, it just does
the opposite. You may run out of energy to actually retain any knowledge.
Therefore, it is
important to take breaks every now and then. This is not only important to
retain the information but to freshen up the mind, too.
And don’t forget to decide what hour of the day
works best for you. Some students prefer studying at night, while others feel
productive early in the morning.
8. Overcome laziness while studying.
Laziness is a common syndrome that most people suffer from. Sometimes being
lazy and procrastinating the work is totally understandable.
But this syndrome sometimes
seriously affects schoolwork, daily chores and even hobbies and especially
causes major problems for students.
Lack of motivation
is one of the most common reasons why students are reluctant to study. Finding
the right kind of motivation is the key factor.
Therefore, you need to consider the advantages
of studying, such as passing an exam and receiving great grades, receiving
praise from the teacher, when you receive the ideal score actually seems good
enough for a progression in the student's performance.
The simplest method to quit being lazy is to start working. And it should always be kept in mind that it's one of the most significant things one can do to advance in life and achieve success.
9. Prevent yourself from
cramming information.
Never force
yourself to stay up all night to cram the information into the mind. This only
leads to anxiety and stress. This is especially true a day before the exam.
A day before the
exam, the revision should be limited to reviewing the notes, testing oneself on
the main concepts, setting the alarm, and gathering the study materials.
Last but not
least, remember to seek help whenever required, whether it is asking friends,
parents or teachers for things that are out of understanding for you.
10. Stay optimistic….
and never
ever give up!!!
