How to prepare for exams?

There are different approaches to prepare for exams but I will discuss about most successful methods for preparing to score good marks in examination.

1.Change your mindset from result oriented to performance oriented.

The most common mistake we do is that while studying we start thinking about the result and its impact on our life.

Studying for result is known as result oriented approach. It is good to have aim(target) in mind but if aim becomes do or die issue then it has its negative effect such as stress.

Getting good or bad marks is not in our hand. Change your approach from result to performance oriented , in other words it should be like in your study time how much you learn, understand and grasp. Have you grasp more than what you have thought ? If not than what's the reason for falling behind your target.

Advantage :

Minimize your stress
Improve concentration

You will start enjoying your studies without worrying about results.

2. Take regular breaks while studying.

Study shows that human brain cannot concentrate more than 30 to 50 minutes continuously. So it is important for us to take a break for about 10 minutes to recharge our brain.

Some common recharging methods are :

Talking to a friend on phone it helps us to know that we are not alone.

Watching Tv or listening music.

Taking snacks

Going for jog

I mean whatever you like most you can do that.

3. Study time

It is one of the most important factor . According to research our brain has been in most active state from 5 Am to 8 Am and in the evening 7 Pm to 11 Pm.

That means , student who do their studies in morning hours or at evening has maximum retention power in comparison to other students.

Learn Time Management

4.What to Eat

When I was young I thought that how could we compare food and marks. But after studying human brain i know that I was wrong. Food has great impact on us in comparison to any other thing.

I bet that student who take healthy food can score 10 percent more than they usually score.

Please do not eat junk food

Student should eat things which supply continuous energy to there brain for long spam of time.

For eg Sprouted food , High protein diet , Green Vegetables etc .
