	Just Before the Exam

	Confirm date, time, and venue of the examination Confine your studies to the syllabus Revise the lessons using summaries, points and mnemonics you have made. If you find that you do not have sufficient time to study the entire syllabus area, you have two options-either skim through the entire portions mastering none of the portions, or choose certain specific areas that are the favourites of the question setters and study thoroughly.If you go for the former, you may not be able to answer any question satisfactorily. So the latter is preferable in such a situation. The right course is to study all the lessons well using the whole of the academic year/semester Arrange a watch, pens, pencil, eraser, instruments, calculator all documents such as hall tickets etc. on the previous day. It is better to use a watch with moving needles;the digital type may require calculations to know the remaining time at any moment during the test. Your pen should give a fine flow of ink. Keep a spare pen with you. Avoid using knives or other sharp instruments, and partcipating in games that could possibly cause physical injury some days prior to the examination Avoid quarrels, fights and arguments that may create stress Do not sacrifice your time for sleep. If you stay up all nightyou will not be able to perform well in the examination If you are in the habitof studying early in the morning, do not forget to keep an alarm clock to wake you up. If you oversleep, you will miss the opportunity to give final touches to your preparation Reach the examination centreatleast half-an-hour before the sheduled time of commencement. If you make a hurried entry to the examination hall, you are likely to forget many things. Further, in certain examination latecomers are denied admittance Avoid too much of discussion with fellow candidates who may bring forward topics you have not studied. At a stage when you cannot take up new lessons, such talk would only make you tense. Before entering the examination hall, make sure you do not have any slip or paperwith you that may contain lesson notes. Also visit the toilet/washroom Enter the examination hall with confidence. Think about what you know and not what you don't know.
