Common conclusions
Having a schedule gives a sense of routine and in turn, this can make it easier to complete your syllabus. Plan ahead of time and make sure you spend no more than a few hours each day. This will make it less burdensome and at the same time, you can complete the syllabus ahead of time, so there is no pressure as the exam date draws near.
Limit your time on social media as it is highly unproductive and outright distracting as well. Set aside a time for studying each day and during this time make sure you keep your phone away from you and possibly at a place that you can't access from your current position. This is the best way to also wean yourself from excess use of social media.
Your job is half done. When you know the important topics in your syllabus, make sure to learn them first as it will help you to score better and at the same time, will greatly increase your knowledge on the subject. If you have some extra time, touch on the other topics to get a better idea.
Practice tests are a great way to evaluate yourself and to decide on the right learning strategy. There are many practice tests online and you can choose from them. Alternatively, there could be a few books that have such tests as well and you can find them in your school or the local library. These practice tests also give you an idea of what to expect from your exam and how you can prepare for the same.
Talk to your friends and ask them to give a gist of the topic, especially if you're having a hard time understanding the concept. This will also save time for you and all that you have to do is quickly read through the contents as you'll know the concept.
Making notes can ease revision for you. It is also a quick way to recollect all that you have studied and can act as a great refresher. Though it may take some extra time to make notes while studying the first time, it can surely come in handy for you during revision and may even save a lot of time during the crucial hours. For the reasons, get into the habit of making notes while studying.
Great! Continue doing them and you'll thank yourself on the day before your exam as you'll be able to recollect a lot of things with a mere glance at your notes. Consider adding visual elements like diagrams and flowcharts to make the concepts easier to remember.
