First of all, what do you understand by examination?

Examination is a formal test involving answering written or oral questions with no or limited access to text books or the like.
It can also be termed as a test of the knowledge you've acquired from the teachings and lectures you may have undergone during the period of lectures.


So what do we mean when we say "Exam preparation"?
Some people give that term any definition that suits them.
To some it may be the studying of your lecture notes so as to gain valid points that you can use during the exam test itself, to others ;it's simply reading your books.



Now below are some tips to help you prepare and pass examination flawlessly,
These tips I'm about to give you have been of great benefit to me and I believe you'll gain from them.

1. Make sure you attend all lectures : many students have always missed it right from the beginning of the semester because they refuse to attend lectures.
Most students think the lectures don't matter because they already have textbooks for the various subjects/courses as the case may be.
This is a very wrong notion that must be corrected. All lectures are very important to a student as the lecturer tends to do more of explanation in the classroom than what has been written in a text book, and from experience, it has also been noted that some examination questions and answers are treated in the classroom without the students knowing.
In essence, attend all lectures.

2.Take down notes: this is another important aspect where students have missed it, as they tend to be distracted when lectures are going on and miss important points to note.
Note taking is a process whereby a student takes down basic points in the course of a lecture, highlighting the step by step delivery process, indicating the most important element of that lecture.
In essence take down notes.

3. Have a good listening skill : A student with a good listening skill will only write down valid points and what is relevant to the topic being treated from everything the lecturer is saying and should be able to distinguish between relevant and irrelevant points being made by the lecturer.

4.Create a study time table that suits you : most students are guilty of not creating a personal study time table.
So there isn't time for them to study during the semester which affects them in the long run.

5. Don't compare yourself with others, know your capability : many students always fall into this trap because they want to be like others.
I for example read for only 4 hours daily in the early hours of the morning, and that's what works for me, I can't for any reason continue to read when I have no interest or when I feel sleepy as doing that would lead to burnout.
Some students don't know what works for them and then they try to be like others.
If you're not comfortable reading at a particular time, it's okay to take a break.
Don't feel that because others are reading presently and you aren't, that makes you any less better than them.

6. There is time for rest : what most students fail to realise, is that there is time for everything.
When you feel tired after hours of studying, it's always advisable to have some rest and continue later when you're able to, as this will prevent and form of Illness or tiredness when the exams finally come.

7. Pray: Everybody has what works for them, but prayer does it for me as I always feel relieved and tension leaves me everytime I pray before writing any examination.
Please, pardon any grammatical blunders.

I hope you have learnt one or two things from this writeup.
Cheers.

Op, you forgot to add "Have good cramming skills". Nigerian institutions have been degraded to not using what you understand but what the lecturers said and or wrote word for word. You know, la cramme la poure.

True....and very unfortunate.

Hello NL I need some experience fellows to enlighten me about obtaining two direct entry forms in other to have more chance of running different schools admission.
Thou I heard people do it in years back before the arrival of all this internet registration, so I was thinking since every registration has become online won't it have a bad effect if someone obtain 2or more direct entry form for a candidate.
Your opinion please.

It means the witches at your village are fanning themselves with your picture. You need a shiloh session!

The problem with that modus operandi is that the bit of the course called ''understanding'' is lost.

There are certain courses like medicine where you not only have to know facts, you also have to understand the facts....and going illegal throughout med school might help you pass....but you will not be a good doctor.

Same thing for a career in the financial world....where the difference between a success and failure can depend on your ability to analyse facts.

See.....the problem with the Nigerian student is that many of them approach school with the idea that they must pass exams. Yes...that is important....but you have to understand what you are doing too....otherwise you might find it hardgoing in your chosen profession (Unless you want to be a clerk for the rest of your working life).

So help me God

Thanks OP for the insightful write up !!!

Yes. I try combining the two, cram like there is tomorrow and at the same time understand it to my own satisfaction.

If your listening skill is bad and you are slow in taking notes, just get yourself a recording tape if your lecturer doesnt allow you to use phone during lectures

Good points, though when I am too tired to listen and take notes, I just put my phone on recording and sleep off.

Nice
