HOW TO PASS YOUR EXAMS

CHANGE YOUR THINKING

Before we can continue on toward the items of common sense of doing great in EXAMS

you really want to comprehend that one of the best obstructions to progress is

your demeanor to the entire test process. Similarly as with numerous things throughout everyday life

the manner in which you decide to see this can change your sentiments and

execution emphatically.

I will show you that the normal feelings of trepidation connecting with EXAMS are

totally unwarranted leaving you allowed to pick, with some

avocation, to see assessments not so undermining yet more as an

valuable chance to exhibit your insight and abilities and to do

well. We'll likewise discuss pressure and how to keep away from the unsafe

impacts while bridling the constructive outcomes.

Understanding the things that generally turn out badly is a vital component of

transforming your mindset. By perceiving that it is so natural to keep away from these

Entanglements you'll start to feel considerably more certain and ready to confront tests unafraid.

You'll likewise perceive how to further develop your possibilities decisively by taking

obligation yourself for your own prosperity as opposed to depending as well

vigorously on educators, teachers, and so forth.

DISSIPATE THE COMMON FEARS AND MYTHS

Presently!

Fears and legends connecting with EXAMS can reach practically crazy extents at times. What's more, since the beginning we figure out how to fear EXAMS and view them as a means to an end. The most well-known fears are:

1. Test questions are painstakingly phrased to get you out.

2. Examiners are extremely mean with marks.

Exams are just a trial of memory, so they favor those with wonderful review or a visual memory.

- You can do well in Exams on the off chance that you can think and compose rapidly.

- You will undoubtedly get focused by Exams and this can be very perilous and damaging.

Absolutely none of this is true.

 Tests are not intended to get you out

 Tests mean to test your grasping in a useful manner.

 Questions should be phrased cautiously to:

- Limit or dispense with any expected false impressions.

- Guarantee that everybody has a similar possibility understanding and noting them accurately to make the stamping system fair.

What is typically misconstrued as too demanding isn't anything more

than a fair endeavor at clearness!

Analysts are expected to compose inquiries in a way which gives you the chance to exhibit your capacities as opposed to uncovering any shortcomings. Looking at sheets and specialists exist to advance information and understanding, not to deter accomplishment.

Examining boards and authorities exist to promote knowledge and understanding, not to discourage achievement.

But, and it’s a very big BUT, having worded the question very carefully they do expect you to do exactly what they’ve asked and present your answer in a clear, logical and easy-to-read way. We'll discuss this later, endlessly, in light of the fact that you'll see it come up endlessly time once more. I make no conciliatory sentiment for this since one of the greatest reasons for disappointment isn't addressing the inquiry appropriately. Examiners are extremely pleasant individuals

Well perhaps some aren't, yet they're positively not mean with marks furthermore, they lament bombing individuals. They are ordinarily from the showing calling so they comprehend and feel for understudies. For inside set Exams they are in many cases your own speakers or on the other hand educators and in those cases your disappointment could think about gravely them. I'm unquestionably not proposing that they would grant a pass

where it isn't legitimate, however they're surely your ally and have no

interest by any means in getting you out unjustifiably.

GETTING SENSIBLE PERSPECTIVE

Examiners want you to pass. What's more, they like granting marks - it was approached to give you've done what. They have a cautiously planned checking plan for each painstakingly phrased question so they need to dispense the imprints as per this. This truly intends that in actuality the stamping system normally comprises of the analyst scanning your solution for reactions or focuses which will acquire marks.

So as soon he finds one he will distribute the imprints and search for the next grant acquiring thing.

Remember likewise that he is normally confronted with stamping many contents to an exceptionally close cutoff time, so he needs to get past them as rapidly and successfully as could really be expected. There is a vital, key reality to be featured here. You can profit by this circumstance by making it simple for the Examiner to grant marks, for example get him on your side all along. How might you do this? It's basic:

_ Ensure you answer the inquiry by doing precisely exact thing is inquired.

- Make your response simple to peruse by introducing it in a sensible, easy to- follow way with the central issues brought out plainly. This makes it simple for the inspector to grant the imprints as well as keeping him feeling great.

You’ll see how to read and interpret questions as well as how to present an easy-to-read response.

- Exams/Tests are not trial of memory

- Exams/Tests are intended to test how you might interpret and capacity to apply the course ideas. This clearly expects you to recollect a level of detail however that is not the very thing you're being tried on.

We'll talk about later how best to study and coordinate your course materials as well as compelling modification strategies. All of this will assist with combining your realizing so that you'll find your memory will be adequate. Understudies perpetually have snapshots of frenzy about memory near tests however at that point they find that the test questions brief adequate review as they start to center around the response. The incongruity here is that understudies typically recall excessively and thus attempt to compose everything down when the inquiry doesn't really need it.

Knowing what to leave out is a more normal issue than recollecting to the point of placing in.

- Tests are not trial of composing speed

- Tests are intended to be equipped for fulfillment in the dispensed time.

The discernment that there will never be sufficient opportunity arrives back to what

I've said above - understudies attempt to compose all they are familiar a subject as opposed to focus explicitly on what is inquired. Yet, you'll never be approached to 'compose all you are familiar' a theme, so never ponder doing it.

We're back to the normal errors of not perusing the inquiry cautiously and not arranging a brief, obviously engaged reply to which the inspector can assign checks without any problem.

.

Obviously you need to work rapidly in an assessment, however there is sufficient opportunity to get done, and moreover you must endeavor the required number of inquiries. I'll exhibit later on that there is no reason for not completing gave you deal with your time cautiously.

You don't have to get excessively pushed by tests

A level of worry gets the best the vast majority.

Individuals frequently perform better under some tension so try to tackle the beneficial outcomes of stress while limiting the more bad perspectives.

How you accomplish this will rely particularly upon the sort of individual you are. In this book I desire to remove a portion of the negative viewpoints by:

- Dispelling the myths associated with exams.

- Eliminating the irrational fears.

- Changing your attitude.

- Improving your study and revision technique.

- Improving your exam technique.

Working on your review and update method.

Further developing your test method. Subsequently leaving you with a solid degree of stress adequate to bring out the best in you.

It very well may be a muddled region since stress and uneasiness influence individuals in a wide range of ways. This book will ease the impacts for everybody and ideally dispense with them for some. Be that as it may, if issues persevere then search for different wellsprings of help which, as it turns out, will help in numerous parts of your life, not simply tests, so the work is prone to be extremely advantageous. There is an abundance of writing accessible these days on pressure the executives covering such things as:

 Work out

 Diet

 Relaxation techniques

 Normal treatments

 Positive reasoning, and so on.

In the event that you haven't proactively done as such, you might find it valuable to attempt some of

these. As far as it matters for me, I ask that you view pressure as a double sided deal similarly as tests are concerned.

Search for the positive side. Consider tests to be an open door to do effectively and accomplish more than in any case.

Utilize this book to:

 Improve your understanding of what examiners require.

 Build your confidence.

 Get rid of some of the misconceptions and myths.

Many contend that the test framework puts horrendous weight on youthful individuals and this occasionally has awful outcomes. Such pressure is as a general rule established on madness and the individuals who experience outrageous side effects ought to look for clinical assistance right away.

Life puts many weights on the youthful and figuring out how to adapt to tests can help them in later life. Many figure out how to flourish with pressure through seeing the different provokes as any open doors to do competently.

THE THINGS THAT USUALLY GO WRONG

On the off chance that you don't accomplish a lot of work all through the course and you do pretty much nothing or on the other hand no correction then you'll likely fall flat, and you have the right to. There are no enchanted solutions for the understudy who accomplishes scarcely any work. However numerous disappointments emerge even where entirely competent individuals have considered exceptionally hard. Such occurrences can appear to be interested or in any event, verging on the strange.

How about we take a gander at these, yet first let me say that this multitude of issues can be stayed away from without any problem. I'll show you how in later parts. For the time being all you need is an overall familiarity with the kind of things that can and do go wrong consistently for even the most faithful understudies.

Relying solely on your tutor to equip you with everything you need for success is a dangerous strategy. How often have you heard? How frequently have you heard applicants leaving a Exam room saying '. . .we didn't cover a portion of the stuff that surfaced. . .'.

The day of the Exams is one amazing opportunity to find that you've not covered all that you expected to.

WHAT EXAMINER DON’T WANT

1. Many students did not read the instructions at the head of the question paper. Some answered fewer than required and some even answered more! Some failed to answer the required number from each section and others missed out elements of a multi-part question.’

2. Students did not read the questions carefully enough. A question in a 20th century history paper asking for causes of the outbreak of World War III prompted answers from some candidates relating to World War II.

3. Students did not take careful note of the verb in the question which told them what to do e.g. assess, compare, describe, argue, list, etc. Instead they regurgitated all they could think of about the topic involved.’

4. Students did not plan their answers. They produced an uncoordinated mass of prose which jumped around from point to point with no logical thread running through the answer. In short, there was no structure or logic to the answer which made it very difficult to mark.

WHAT EXAMINER WANT

It’s very important to understand the process from the examiners’ viewpoint. They’re the people with the marks to give and you need to know what will earn those marks for you. So learn how to keep them on your side from the start. And don’t think that regurgitating

facts is all that ’s required, there’s much more to it than that, as you’ll see.

They want you to pass

I hope that I convinced you of this in Chapter 1 but it ’s worth

mentioning again. Remember also that the marking process is all

about awarding marks so you need to know how to take advantage

of this. This has to be good news but remember there are a few

strings attached. They expect you to do exactly what is asked and

present your answer in a clear, logical and easy-to-read way. The

examiners’ reports referred to above show this clearly.

They want you to do what is asked You stand little or no chance of doing what’s required unless you:

- Read the instructions on the question paper carefully.

- Read each question carefully.

This is where the serious problems usually begin. In a heightened state of anxiety, a student is very keen to begin writing, especially if the candidate sitting next to them has already started within about ten seconds of turning the paper over. That person is well on the way

to failure and you’ll understand why by the time you’ve finished this book. It’s vital that you spend a little time reading both the instructions and each question carefully.

Thanks for reading this book.

I wish you luck on your upcoming Exams
