When it comes to, the exam season, a lot of you may feel stressed, depressed or even want to escape. Here we have pieces of advice to help you get it through.
During the semester, going to lectures and taking a lot of notes are the first steps in the learning process. Now, at the end of the week, gather all the notes you took during the week and run through your notes quickly.If yes, great. If not, you have a lot of time left to understand before the exams take place. You can ask a friend, a teacher, you can look it up on the Internet or go to a library. This takes a little effort, but the results are great.
Switch between different types of revision.
Something that really helps is to plan different types of active studying while revising. You can, for example, study using flashcards for an hour, then work on the summary for an hour, then have lunch, etc.

Teach and learn outside of the classroom.
In my experience, teaching is the most efficient way of studying. By explaining he materials to yourself or to someone else, you'll remember them a lot better.The idea is to sit down and take turns explaining certain topics of the study material.
Test yourself with past papers.
At the end of the whole study process, you should prepare yourself to do past apers properly. Time yourself, don't cheat, and mark it as if it were your real exam. Pay attention to the mistakes and revise the part you didn't do well on until you can't get it wrong any more.
