Ways that Students Prepare for Exams

Nowadays, a multitude of educational institutes set up exams for students. It irritates the students who are suffering from homework pressure and make them nervous in study. Some students do not know how to study well or they even misunderstand the ways of studying. Hence, we can divide categories of preparing for exams into three ways: working hard at school, preparing well for the exams at home and studying with friends at public place.

Firstly, paying attention to the class helps students to understand the main point of each chapter. If student have any questions in class, they can seek the answer from the teachers. It is good for them to concentrate on their study and get interested in every subject easily. Furthermore, sense of studying will be conducted in a cordial atmosphere through the students competing with each other and improving their learning skills. During the competitions, students can help each other reciprocally or learn from each other by exchanging views. They can also join the tutorial class which may help developing their learning field.

Secondly, most students adopt an essential which is working hard at home. If students do not pay attention in class, they would need to put more effort and more time for preparing the exams. when I was at high school, I did not pay a lot of attention to the teachers. So, I needed to spend twice times or even triple times to study at home. Unfortunately, I could not get any high scores in the exams. Even worse , I might fail in it sometimes. However, studying at home after paying heed to the class, students can easily grasp how to prepare for it well. For instance, they can use notes or outline the main points. Also, there is some information that may be repeated for a few times in different chapters or some wired questions. Thus, it is possible for teachers making the reference to the repeated information in the exams. In addition, teachers would give out some work sheets to the students. These work sheets can absolutely help students to practice more and become skillfully in every chapter.

Thirdly, there are lots of students preparing for the exams together in public areas such as starbucks, the libraries, McDonald’s etc. As for me, I always studied mathematics and accounting outside with friends. It is because some processes of calculating may not be solved on my own. Furthermore, studying in a group can let students to be more concentrated in studying. It can also increase their ambiance of learning on study.

In conclusion, I suggest students should prepare for the coming exams a couple of weeks before and have a good preparation before lessons start. In addition, students should keep working hard and use the time efficiently for studying.
