How to excel in exams

Do not compare yourself with others

If your parents or teachers defame you by comparing with intelligent students you don't need to be egoistic or feel any inferiority complex. Actually, they are not supposed to do so. But they speak so in order to inculcate the desire to study in you. They think that by doing so you will become competitive with the above-mentioned intellectuals. But that will only lead in developing ego and inferiority complex in you.

Go ahead by deciding your goals

At the same time, you shouldn't be lazy as before. Suppose that you have only scored 50% marks in an exam. Then you should make a firm decision that you will be scoring between 70-80% marks in the next exam. Along with this decision, you would have to hard-work for it sincerely. You wouldn't be able to score 90-95% marks in the first attempt itself. You can advance only through small steps. At the same time set up high targets for other subjects as well and advance forward. Try to remember the below-mentioned points while doing all these.

1) thoroughly examine the answer sheet of the subject of which you scored only 50% marks.

2) find the mistakes you made. Find out the reasons for low scoring.

3) try to avoid those type of mistakes as well as try to study the lessons which you couldn't study well.

4) if necessary discuss the undigested topics with your friends. This will help in understanding the topic and also will help in enhancing your performance in exams.

Don't repent

Don't repent even if you have scored less than 40% marks. If you are confident and are ready to implement the things mentioned above you can score good marks. God or nature has created each and every uniquely. We can't compare one with another. You may have your own skills- drawing, painting, music, sports etc. You may be one among the best in any of these fields, even though you need to have a basic qualification of higher secondary, otherwise, others may not give value for you. So plan yourself to excel more. Set the targets of 60,70% marks for the coming exams.
Try to follow the instructions mentioned till now.Don't procrastinate anything. Study the lessons taught in the same-day itself. This will help in managing your time as well as for preparing best for the exam.
