Hey Hey Hey.

It's so amazing how I can just forgive people.. I'm not even angry now! WoW...
Okay so here are some tips to hopefully help you in the exams in future (EOYs).

1- When you study, off your phone, com, or any other electrical devices except for ones that play music like ipods, mp3s or radios.
This would help you concentrate on studies ONLY and not get distracted. Ipods, Mp3s or radios help me concentrate only during my revisal for maths and i suggest that you only play it while practicing maths. If you listen to them while doing languages, you're just wasting your time. The words in the song (unless it's classical then i suppose it's fine) would just distract you from the ones on paper.



2- To memorize, you have to figure out whether you can remember better by looking at diagrams or just by words.
You can do so by getting a paragraph of words to memorize, and see how long you take to memorize them. Then, summarize the words by drawing pictures to guide you and just remembering the keywords. It is easy to figure out which was the easier way to memorize. But please DO remember the keywords when memorizing stuff for science.

3- When you get tired after studying, EAT. Or not.
Eating helps me. I have no idea why. Perhaps i may have a soft spot for them. But if you're less of a food person just get up from your seat, blast out music and create a lil stress-relieving dance. It'll wake your mind. Rest for around half and hour then get back to your work. Don't spend too much time taking breaks.

4- To take notes, write out your own notes.
Your mind subconsciously remembers the notes you wrote and even if you don't memorize the notes that well, writing gives you the rough idea of what the notes are all about.

5- When taking notes, look online for sources of infomation.
You'd be surprised at the variety of information you can find online. Google is the best search engine there is. There's no harm in learning more, so read through the information, analyse it, then take it down by writing it down (point 4), even including the stuff you don't understand, then look up the words you don't get at dictionary.com (yes, there is such a website). This will widen your knowledge and your teacher would be impressed.

6- When you get stressed at the amount of stuff you have to memorize, take it out by going to your parents or whoever you feel very comfortable talking with.
They help relieve stress- just don't get carried away and get back to your revision

7- Lastly, during your exams, smuggle some sweets in.
Sweets do great things for you. Just don't get flavours you love, get strong ones like MINT(get dark secret mints- i forgot what brand it was but it comes in small plastic boxes. They are convenient and very refreshingly hot!). The cool effect it has in your mouth immediately refreshes you while doing you paper. Just don't let the teacher catch you. It is especially effective when doing a boring subject like maths or history.

aah yes here the sweets are

strutted my stuff.
