The Most Frustrating Time of the Year-Exam Time

Hey guys! For the past two weeks I've been doing what is called Modular exams at my school. It's where the students are tested on all the topics in the modules of the syllabus that have been completed. Trust me, there are A LOT of topics in one module so imagine TWO! As is expected, students often get frustrated at this time of the year. I know because I got fed up quite a few times with a couple subjects. Although I hate doing exams I know I have to do them and here are a couple tips that can help you through your exam periods:

1. Stop complaining. You know you have to do it, so study hard and you will succeed. You have to be positive about your exams. If you speak failure into your life, YOU WILL FAIL, so be POSITIVE.
2. Pray about it. If you pray and ask the Lord to help you while you are studying and while you are doing your exams, he will. TRUST ME. 
3. Do not stress yourself too much. If you do so you will get tired very easily and you may have head aches and tummy aches among other things. Try to keep calm while studying.
4. Drink water to keep yourself hydrated.
5.  If you study best in groups gather a group of friends who you know will study and not goof off and you will be good to go. You can assign each person a different topic to present on at each group meeting. You will learn a lot from your friends,  maybe even more than you do from your teachers.
6.  Make attractive study cards. Write the most important points about the topic on your study cards and decorate them. Make them attractive so that you will want to study from them. For those of you who have photographic memory you may even be able to picture the study cards while you are in the exams :D
7.  Talk to yourself and your family members. Pretend that you are a teacher and your class is the mirror. Talk to yourself in the mirror, you may just remember saying something while you are doing your paper. Or you can teach your family and question them. This method helps you to understand the topics even better.

Those are all the study tips I can think of now guys, all the best in your exams (although most of you have already finished doing them). Remember to be positive, study hard, pray about it and you will be just fine.

Love,
