Top Tips to Prepare for Exams

Exam season is upon us! Before the much-anticipated Easter break, schools usually serve up a long test or a term assessment. Here are some tried and tested top tips to efficiently and effectively prepare for graded exams.

Create a study group

Form a “study date” with classmates and work together to study for the exam. Quiz each other, exchange notes, and keep each other motivated.

Make flashcards

Flashcards are a great way to review and memorize information. You can make them by hand or use an online flashcard tool. Keep in mind though that writing by hand on physical paper leads to greater retention.

Take brain breaks

It’s important to take breaks to avoid burnout. Do some breathing exercises, take a walk or do some light exercise to help you refocus.

Practice with past exams

Many schools release past exams or practice questions. Using these can help you get a sense of the format and types of questions that will be on the exam.

Set a routine

Create a study schedule and stick to it. This can help you to stay on track and avoid last-minute cramming.

Find a trusted tutor

Get the help you need, when you need it. Teachers in Bahay Turo are experts in their field and can help create a customized learning plan for you. If a quick review session is all you need, you can sign up and book a session with Bahay Turo immediately
