Say the word “Exam!” and you’ll watch as the eyes of students widen as they are sent into an almost-immediate panic mode. Yes, it is inevitable that all of us (who have gone through the academic phase of our lives) know this isn’t going to be the first time we hear the word and certainly won’t be the last. What causes this anxiety? Is there nothing to prevent us from feeling this way? Truth to be told, it’s hard to ever prevent exam-anxiety, but with a proper revision plan in place, students will have a higher chance of succeeding in their exams. Even if you have charted out a revision strategy, how do you make the most out of it?
Read on to know the best ways to optimise your revision and approach the upcoming PSLE exam with confidence!
Take a break from social media platforms
How much time do you spend on social media platforms? Well, according to cloudrock, there were 4.6 million active Singaporean social media users by January 2020 and they spent around 2.5 hours on social media on average every day. This number would have definitely increased during the lockdown period.
Excessive social media usage does pose significant damage to our mental and physical health. Especially, when exams are just around the corner, it is important that you take a break from social media platforms. Using social media platforms such as Facebook, YouTube, Instagram and Tik Tok causes you to be distracted from your work. Not only do you lose track of time, it definitely takes a toll on your revision schedule. So, make sure you take a temporary break from social networking sites and spend more time learning your subjects!
Gift yourself breaks
Feeling tired after studying for an hour? Take a break! Make sure you take intermittent rests in between learning subject concepts. For example, after every 45 mins of revision, give yourself a 10 mins break. Make sure you do something completely relaxing, and it powers you up for the next revision session. Make yourself a hot drink, a snack, do yoga, some push-ups or just lie down quietly for 10 mins. You’d be surprised at how much more you can complete just with that short rest inserted in.
Revisit your Revision chart often
Most of us prepare a revision chart and then totally forget it halfway through. The main reason for this is the unreal goals we set for ourselves. Thus, we find these goals extremely difficult to keep track of, let alone, to achieve!
Make sure you start revising early and not wait until the last moment. When you revise, do highlight the important points. It does come to be great help when you glance through the notes the night before the exam. You will be able to recollect the entire subject concept just by skimming through the important points that you have highlighted.
Follow Regular Bedtime routines
Sleep is one of the most important and often overlooked areas during the revision session. Some students have the temptation to sacrifice some hours of sleep at night in order to stay up and revise. Well, sleep plays a major role in how you feel and how much you will remember. Sufficient hours of sleep has a positive impact on your health, concentration level and ability to make good decisions.
Revision during the exam season can be a tense affair. But then, there are several online learning platforms that complement your revision session. Follow these handy tips to optimise your revision. Also, make sure you get a good night’s sleep the day before the exam and not try to pull any all-nighters!
All the Best! 🙂
