The biggest fear students have is Exam.  It is a fact of student life, either it is test, quiz or exam, students get stressed.

To overcome fear of exam the only thing a student can do is be prepared for it before time. To get good grades pre test or pre exam preparation is a must. Last moment study will only cause more stress which might lead to poor grades.

Different types of exams require different study strategies.  Here are some simple strategies that will help you keep pace throughout the year.

• Set achievable targets:

Make it a habit of studying on day to day basis and completing assignments on time.

Set easy targets for yourself.  Try complete or learn a lesson the very same day it has been taught.

• Time management:

The most important task for students is to manage their time well. Make schedule, make blocks of study time and activities. Always select good time for studying, when you have high energy so that you will be more productive. This will help you in minimizing distractions and will help you maintain your focus.

• Know your learning style:

Students learn best when they know how they will grasp more information. Every student has a different learning style, some are visual learners, some are auditory learners or some are kinesthetic. Adapting your study method to suit your own natural style will enable you to produce powerful results in less time.

• Make a schedule:

Scheduling will help you in making study blocks; you will know how many hours you need for a particular subject to study. For each course assign a time limit in order to complete work and assignments of whole day classes.

• Maintain Reading:

Stay up to date with the class. When you attend a lecture, always go prepared because without having completed the required reading, you lose a valuable opportunity to add to your understanding.

• Good note- taking skills:

Develop good note-taking skills. The better you listen to the teacher, the better you will make notes and this will help you remember the lecture as well as notes will help you in studying at the end of the year.

• Never skip a lecture:

Attend lecture daily, always be an active listener and avoid skipping classes.

• Learning environment:

Surround yourself with good friends; try to have educational talk with them. Make your surrounding productive by putting up informational charts.

• Learn with concentration:

When you learn with concentration, you memorize things well. That way you don’t have to go through same things over and over again.
