Best of luck for your exams. Cheer up it is only for a month.

Allright. Put down your pens, and take a deep breath. So, how is it going with you? If you have studied, and solved the sample papers or even just paid close attention to what your teachers have been telling you all along, you should be smiling broadly.
Examinations are trying. Your teachers and parents do know that. So, listen to them. It could push you that extra mile that could translate into those big marks.
Let us go over some of the good advice you have no doubt heard many times before.
Eat well: Breakfast is a must. Eat on time.
Sleep well: At least eight hours of good sleep at night. And, if you are home all day studying, a short nap half way through the day wouldn’t be such a bad idea either.
Wake up early and study: Just try getting up early and sitting with your books. You will be amazed at how quickly things register in your mind. That is because it is really quiet, the phone does not ring, neither does the doorbell and you can’t switch on the television as it will wake everyone else up. It is a nice feeling. And your family is going to be so happy to see you up.
Study smart: This is the time that you go over the definitions, formulae, map work, diagrams, theorems (these will fetch you the marks). Know how much to write for a one mark question, a two-mark one or a four-mark one.
Write as much as you can: While you may know your subject well, it is imperative you practise writing answers. There is a lot of difference in speaking out an answer and writing one down. You should know the key words in each answer. It will help you manage time better. You don’t have to waste precious time looking for the right words.
