We all know that the majority of successful students get to the top by applying different strategies.

Getting ready for your exam efficiently comes from learning how to study smarter, not harder. Trust Me. You’ll become more aware of this fact as the years go on and you advance in your education.

Here are the top 10 study tips from researchers, scientists and me that will tell you how to pass any exam.

1.FIND OUT THE FORMAT OF YOUR TEST

Start you test preparation by knowing your test format for you to know what strategy you will use.  Don’t hesitate to ask your teacher.

Here are some popular kinds of test:

• Fill-in-the-blank – choose or write the correct word or phrase for the blank space
• Matching – connect two parts of a sentence, an object with an action, an object with a subject, and more
• Multiple choice – choose one or more right answers from a list of options
• True or false – determine if the statement is true

2.READY YOUR BRAIN

Brain is you main weapon in your test so you should need to enhance its capabilities.

Here are some ways to enhance your brain:

• Get plenty of sleep
• Eat foods rich in vitamin B
• Reduce your stress level by practicing mindfulness meditation
• Use it, So you don’t lose it, by engaging in mental stimulation

3.ORGANIZE YOUR STUDY PLACE

Dispose any garbage you have in your table. Make sure that the light is right, your chair is cozy, and you have enough fresh air.

Before getting started, find what works for you and make your study space as comfortable as possible.

Also, your choice of furniture is a factor. If you have an uncomfortable chair, learning to pass an exam becomes challenging. Choose a better option and improve your concentration.

The majority of study methods demand someplace specific to perform them whether it’s taking notes or making flashcards. That’s why it’s great to have a large desk and a whiteboard to organize everything to be most effective.

4.GET DISTRACTIONS AWAY

If you really want to study effectively, here is the key:

put aside all your social networks, mobile apps and computer games during your study sessions. If you cant resist surrender your phone to your trustworthy person or search for an app that will block any notification in your phone. Deactivate your social media account if badly needed.

Go ahead and devote all your attention to the test!

5.DIVIDE YOUR STUDYING IN SESSIONS

we all know that studying in one night doesn’t work also we all know that a planned work works.

 It’s better to plan everything ahead of time and spread out your study periods for at least one week before the exam. In this way, you will have enough time to develop a deeper understanding of the subject.

To retain all you have studied, be sure to take regular breaks. Take time to have fun and do something that you enjoy.

The key to breaking the cycle of cramming for tests is to think ahead and create an study plan.

It’s important to understand what tasks will lead you to your goal fast and well. That’s why you should make a to-do list including all the topics, exercises, papers, and materials needed.

6.DITCH YOU COMPUTER GO OLD SCHOOL

Using your computer to study doesn’t work. It distracts you more and it’s slowing down your ability to memorise and learn stuff. Create a reviewer for you to highlight the key words or key phrase of your lesson. Also rewriting your notes down is making you study two or three times better. Why, you ask again? Easy:

• You read
• You think
• You write it down in your own way
• Those concepts are now yours and not sitting on a PDF file.
• You can create a photographic memory of your reviewer

7.GROUP WITH FRIENDS

Group study is a great opportunity to exchange ideas with your friend or discuss complicated concepts you think that will be given in the test.

For me this tip has a good and bad side. The good side is if your friends prioritize studying before chatting. The bad side is when your friends prioritize chatting before studying.

Making up questions for each other and meeting to compare answers is an excellent idea, as well as giving each other timed quizzes to become familiar with working under pressure.

8.SET GOALS

There is lots of credible research suggesting that goal setting can be used as part of a strategy to help people successfully effect positive changes in their lives, so never underestimate the power of identifying to yourself the things you want to achieve.

Set a realistic goal and determine the amount of time you are going to spend studying. Write down all of the steps in a planner.

Each time you plan your study session, set a goal to understand the material thoroughly enough that you could explain it clearly to anyone.

If you can set a goal, why can’t you pass an exam?

9.TEST YOUR SELF

After all the studying you need to “Test your self” in order to know if you can answer a math problem or essays in your test and to know what you need to improve in your learning. The solution is to mentally prepare for the pressure of having to remember key dates, facts, names, formulas and so on. Testing yourself with regular quizzes is a great way of doing this. And don’t worry of you don’t perform brilliantly at first the more you practice, the better you’ll become.

10.THE BEST TIP: PRAY!!

For me above all the tip that I give this is the best because the Lord and savior Jesus Christ can do all the miracles in life. This tip is tested and proven by me because I sometimes forgot the answer in the test but through prayer I pass my exam.

Now you know some tips to pass exam successfully. Go ahead and try these tips out!
