We have all been there: the teacher announces the exam dates, and your stomach feels like a thousand jellybeans are jumping inside! But over time, I learned the trick to reduce exam stress. It is simple: study smarter, not harder.<\/span><\/p>\n

Step One: Fix Your Space<\/span><\/p>\n

I cannot study if there is noise. I also cannot study if my study table looks like a big dumpster of trash. That is a big challenge for me! So first, I clean my study table and organize all the essentials I need: books, pencils, highlighters, and most of all, my Chromebook.<\/span><\/p>\n

Step Two: Face the Monster (aka the Exam Schedule)<\/span><\/p>\n

When I opened my exam schedule, I saw my first exam was Maths! I checked what was coming, and my mind went blank. The most difficult chapters were on the list! After Maths came English, then SST, then Urdu, then Science, and finally Islamiat.<\/span><\/p>\n

Step Three: Find Your Tools<\/span><\/p>\n

I do not just stare at my books until I am tired. I watch videos to understand tough topics. For Science, I watch Dr. Binocs. For Math, I watch videos with Mr. J. For English, I find helpful videos too. Islamiat I study from the book. SST and Urdu? They are a piece of cake.<\/span><\/p>\n

Step Four: Use the Pomodoro Trick<\/span><\/p>\n

I use the Pomodoro technique. I study for 25 minutes, then take a short break. Then I study for another 25 minutes. In my breaks, I usually drink water, stretch a little bit, or even scroll through my phone. I also keep all my notes organized and neat so reviewing them is easy.<\/span><\/p>\n

Step Five: Hope for the Best<\/span><\/p>\n

After all this, I pray that I score higher than 95 percent!<\/span><\/p>\n

The Secret Formula<\/span><\/p>\n

Good planning, studying daily, and staying consistent are the best tips for exam success. At the end of the day, all the hard work will turn into success.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
