What's up, everybody? It's me @intishar once again and today I am here to make my entry in the Hive learners contest and the topic of the contest is:
Pre-Examinations
We all have different ways we prepare for exams, and over time we have figured out what works best for us. What is that trick you use when preparing for exams or tests? This is not just for students, because we've all had to sit exams at one time or the other in the past. Please share with us, someone might learn something.
The exam is like a variable and the thought about the exam vary with the person. Some students think that exam is another name of fear, some students think it is something to prove themself and some students don't care about exams also and somehow they try to pass the exam. Whether we want to face it or not, we all have to face exams in our academic life. Without passing the exam it's impossible to promote in the next class.
Honestly, I don't love to face exams and sometimes I think it would be better if there would be no exams. In this case, I have a favorite quote:-
Studying is fun,
it would be more fun if there were no exams.
-Rabindranath Tagore
I agree with it.
In my academic career, I think am still a successful one although I don't like exams. I never thought that I am a brilliant student but somehow I made good results in each time. Facing exams was a very normal thing for me and I was never afraid of exams. I think I used to take my preparation well before my exam and that gave me the confidence to face exams with no fear.
So today I am going to share the tips or tricks of mine using in which I am successful(my opinion) in my academic career. so let's start...
Be confident and believe in me:

I said I used to make good results but after a certain time in class 9 my academic pressure increased a lot and for the first time I lost confidence and felt a little bit afraid thinking about how I would finish it. For family reasons, I was far from my study for 2.5 months and it bring fear inside me. The fear wasn't for passing the exam, it was for making a good result. But my home tutor motivated me very much and said to believe in myself and I followed his instruction. Even though I had a few times but I was able to finish my lesson before the time and I faced the exam very well and confidently. I was surprised that how I was able to finish so many lessons within a short time and I realized that it's because of my believe in myself and for facing the situation confidently.
Practice and practice helped me to overcome weaknesses:
Believe it or not my memorizing power is not so good and it was hard for me to memorize the lesson which I learned. I used to practice my lesson 3/4 times more than a normal student and it helped me to memorize my lesson. I think practice is such kind of thing that helps us to overcome weakness and I am the one who is able to make it. Besides practicing more and more helped me to be confident also.
Thinking/memorizing the lesson before the time of sleep:
I used to think about my lesson and try to check that am I able to memorize the lesson or not. It really worked for me very well and I follow it till now. I noticed that I can memorize those lessons very well and fast which I used to think about before the time of sleep when I lay down for sleep.
( Fun fact: I used to forget many things and for this, I went to my table and see the lesson which I forgot. Sometimes I went to go to sleep with my book to check it)
Go against my own thoughts:
As a normal student playing games, watching movies, and wasting time on other things is natural and I also used to think about it like other students but I was different in taking action and I used to avoid those things which were insisted by my thoughts. Most of the time my thoughts insisted me not to study and play games and other things and I used to do the opposite thing😅 that means I forced myself to study rather than do other things.
Thinking about my parents:

Motivation is such kind of thing that helps a human to achieve success and a motivated person can do much better than a normal one. In my case, I came to the city when I was in class 8 only for receiving a good education facility. I always try to do something better for my parents. They have done many things for me and they sent me to the city only for my better study instead of they have to cost more money. I never wanted to give them the feeling that they made mistakes sending me to the city. So I always tried my best to focus on my study and it was the only way for me at that time to feel my parents proud.
So, my parents were the best motivation for me and still, they are my motivation of mine and in the upcoming days, they will remain my motivation.
All those steps helped me a lot to face my exam and make good results and achieve success in my academic life. Those worked for me and it may work for others also and if that happens it would be my pleasure.
