“Exams”, the name itself may frighten many of us. These are the days of the year when we are most concentrated. There may be times when exams are easy as well as challenging. If an exam challenges you to compete with it, I would suggest that you should accept it. That's because challenges are what make you more confident in your work. So, in this article, I am listing out five tips that you can use while studying for any exam. So without any further delay, let us go through the essential and useful tips which you can apply while studying during the exam.

1} Avoid Disturbance: always sit in a comfortable place away from all the distractions that may force you to lose interest in that subject or topic. If you cannot find a distraction-free place around you, you can make use of the earplugs which come useful during studies. You can get these earplugs in any of the stationery stores near you or it is easily available on Amazon.

2} Follow the Japanese rule of time management: if you are running late and exams are just arriving, and you haven't studied anything. Do not ever plan to sit studying for the whole day without any pause. You should make use of the Japanese trick of studying for Twenty-five minutes and taking a short break of five mins. Repeat the same order two-three times and then take a long break of a maximum of Thirty minutes. This tip is my personal favorite one and I find it helpful.

3} Getting Enough Water: you should keep hydrating yourself after every few minutes. Ensure that you have a bottle of water and some snacks on your desk. That will keep hydrating yourself and you can munch on some snacks if needed. But remember, never consume heavy food while studying for exams or if possible, do not eat heavy food during the exam days. In addition to this, keep a check on your diet.

4} Make and Take notes: this is the most useful tip which you can make use of when you want to study long chapters of theory subjects. You should keep a blank book ready and some other colorful stationery including highlighters, brush pens, etc. Start reading para by para and note down in the notebook whatever you understand. In this way, you can creatively learn the difficult chapters.

5} Sleep and Meditation: Since we all know that sleep and meditation improve our concentration, we also know that to improve concentration, you must regularly meditate and sleep on time. You should at least spend ten minutes of the day meditating. Just make sure that you are away from distraction sources. You can either meditate normally or make use of some soft and calm music. But don't catch on sleep. It would be a better experience altogether, if you meditate twice a day, one time in the morning after waking up and the second time, at night before sleeping.

A 10-minute meditation can totally change your marks.

I hope that these tips fall useful to you while you are preparing for exams since they are the top researched ones. If you follow all these tips in one go, I can guarantee that you will notice a change in your mark sheet. If you are an average student and are planning to follow these tips, I would say that it would be the best decision of your life.

There are times when things don't go the way we want. There may be times when we might fail an exam and not get the expected results. But, is failing wrong?..No! According to me, it is the best opportunity to learn again and score much better next time. By following these well-researched tips, I am sure you will be able to maintain a better attitude towards exams and you will no longer fear it!
