　　How to do well in exams

　　Do not underestimate the power of revision in the days and hours before an examination. The closer you are to the exam, the more chance you have of storing and retaining crucial information. But do not overdo it. 46 An effective daily routine can help you through an exam period, so in the days leading up to your first exam, get into the habit of being up and ready to word by game. It can be a shock to the system after months of working to your own timetable to be mentally alert at that time if you have not prepared for it.

　　On the day of the exam, have a good breakfast, pack tow of everything you need , then make your way to the examination hall in good time. 47

　　Once in your seat, simply pause for a few seconds and collect your thoughts. Close your eyes and take in a few slow, deep breaths to help you relax. When you turn over the test paper, spend a shot period reading through all the instructions and questions, paying particular attention to key verbs such as discuss, compare and evaluate. 48 It is always wise to allow 10 minutes at the end of the exam to give yourself time to go back over your answers. Once you have selected the questions you wish to tackle, begin by attempting the one you think is your strongest. It will give you more confidence when you see a well-answered question down on paper. Also remember to write clearly, and do not be afraid to express the unexpected: after all, examiners can get very bored marking stereotypical answers.
