Do you have a study plan for entrance Exams


To prepare the study plan, map out all of the material that has to be covered and make a schedule showing what, when and how much you will study everyday. If you have kept up with the course work, studying will involve revision of the material that you have already covered. If you are behind in the course, you will have to finish the readings and other uncompleted work before starting the revision.

(If there is not enough time to go over everything, you must decide what is most important for the exam)

 

Some tips to follow in creating your study plan:


 
Budget your time properly.

Allocate the study time into several manageable study sessions.

Divide the course material into small segments and assign them to the study sessions.
 
Take diagnostic or practice tests. Analyze the result. Mark the areas you could consider your weak areas. Concentrate on these areas when you begin studying.

Set clear and specific goals for the study sessions.
Prioritize to ensure that material weighted more heavily in the exam gets sufficient study time.

Take into account your familiarity with the material and the difficulty level.
Dont make the study sessions too long.

Avoid studying with the television or radio on. Pick a quiet place like your local library to study.

Study sessions should have enough variety in terms of topics and activities to prevent boredom and loss of effectiveness.

Avoid cramming before the examination.

Do not forget to include regular breaks.

 

So, understand why the Entrance Test is important. When preparing for the Exams, prepare through small, well-planned steps. Accomplish each step; build upon them. Then use these accomplishments as additional benefits and motivators to move you closer to the final achievement.

 
Wish you all the success!
