How to know if you are ready for exams?

 How to know if you are ready for exams?

Preparing for and passing exams opens the door to a rewarding career. Most students fail to recognize that studying for an exam is a journey in which the choices we make along the way can help students not only get good grades but also change their lives.

To achieve their objectives, they must take an integrative and holistic approach, as well as be aware of the common mistakes that can cause them to miss out on the true fruit of their efforts.

Studying does not prepare you for your exam; being able to answer all of the questions is what demonstrates that you have studied well for your exams. It may appear obvious, but to ensure you are on board, put yourself to the test.

Below are some of the tips that will ensure you are well-prepared for your exams.


8 ways to determine whether or not you are prepared


1. Practice extra worksheets and old quizzes, making sure to complete them without using your notes within a specific time limit.

2. Create your own quizzes.

3. If you are using a study guide or a study material, try answering the questions by placing your hand over the answer section.

4. Respond to the final topic or chapter questions.

5. Ask a friend to ask the questions for you.

6. Create visual notes with keywords, such as flashcards or flowcharts.

7. Create and fill out blank diagrams or charts.

8. Explain the material clearly to someone who is unfamiliar with the subject.


Whatever method you are working with, make sure to be true to yourself and answer the questions without looking or peeping. Work on the areas you are lacking and test yourself after studying.


Things to avoid doing while studying for exams


  1. Planning meticulously and seriously but failing to implement and procrastinating will lead to a disaster in your exam preparation. So, while planning, assess and analyze your capabilities and limitations, and plan accordingly. Do not put too much pressure on yourself. Add a day or two to your schedule to cover the topics you may have missed.

  2. Do not amass mountains of study material just to have it. Most study materials contain the same points, and it is impossible to study everything you have, so do not accumulate a plethora of study materials and be thorough with the ones you have.

  3. Sleep well and begin early.

  4. Take care of your health by eating well.
