@JuliaDrEtro, thanks for letting me know about this. I really do appreciate you doing this.
Alright, my god friend on Twitter has told me about children in her class, as well as herself, are seeming to be weak when it comes to academic performances. Well, here are some tips to really help you out.
1.) Sleeping Early before tests or exams.
– It has been proven that having a good night’s rest can really pump up your brain to do better for your test. Always have a 8 to 9 hours rest before waking up in the morning again. I really recommend sleeping at about 8 or night o’ clock at night. This is probably THE MOST IMPORTANT thing when it comes to coring in your papers.
2.) Do not put too much pressure on your self.
-This is really important. Pressure is a problem with many kids. Remember, your brain is like a CPU. It cannot witstand all the things you want or desire. But the killer dealer is actually the pressure from teachers, parents, relative and friends. No matter what, it all comes down to you, sitting down on a chair and brainstorming to do well for the paper infront of you. I mean, by trying to please everybody, you will end up pleasing nobody. This is from my personal experience.
-Follow what ONLY YOU believe YOU can do. It’s your life, your future. Aim what you can do (please only make realistic estimates). Follow advise from others, not load yourself to be like their expectations.
3.) Focus in everything you do.
-Near exams? Forget all other unimportant priorities like watching your favorite cartoon or sitcoms. Just push yourself to the limits, even if it is a for a short period of time, but remember to sleep early, don’t work overnight if its the exams or tests.
– Listen to everything your teacher says. I understand that most people are physically present and yet mentally absent in class. Who knows where their minds will be? Mars, Jupiter, hyper-space, fighting Dark-Vader or even flying with the birds in the sky.
-Jolt down notes on you notebook. Make it clear and understandable and quick when your teacher teaches. Write as you listen because you don’t want to blindly copy everything your teacher says.
-Boost focus in class, because there are only a couple of days to your exams! Just FOCUS, FOCUS AND FOCUS!
4.) Self confidence
– Believe on yourself. Not the opinions of others. Everybody is talented, one way or another, but academics is very important if you want drive an awesome sports car and live in your dream house in the future.
5.) Setting Targets
– As explained earlier, make realistic targets that you may beat.
-Aim higher and score better.
6.) Praying to god for help and retrieving blessings from others
-This is to boost your motivation chamber.
– We never know if it helps or not, but why take risks? My as well just do it!
7.) Don’t fall for evil tricks or distractions.
– If you are a smoker or a druggy, now is the time to stop. That will never help you. You need your brain to be on its best performance on the exam day.
-***VERY IMPORTANT***
The thing about friendship is that it usually affects your grades, especially leader friendship. I call it leader friendship because in this group of friends, there is like a head or leader that is very attention seeking and pulls you to a friendship you never wanted in the first place. They will influence you on doing things that your mind wants to do. Such examples would be asking you to complete games at home. But what you don’t know is that the clan leaders are studying like crazy in their homes. No, you do not break friendships with them, just know your own timetable, not the timetable made for you.
The next are the dominating group of friends. They are the really cunning ones who seem pretty helpless at times. This works when they ‘overdo’ the praising. By say things like “Wow! You’re really good at this!” or “You are really really smart. I wish I were as smart as you,” more then the should, the boost your self esteem to much and you become, OVERCONFIDENT. This is bad. When you are overconfident, you tend to study less and relax more. Remember to thank them for their comments, but remember not to take in to account these praises as they are probably just to take you down.
8.) Studying at the right time
– Remember, at night, before you sleep, revise everything you have learnt in the day, for example, if you had learnt algebra during the day, sit down at night to revise for a brief 10 to 20 minutes, depending on how much you have covered during the day.
-Morning is the best time to study. I mean 4 a.m to 6 a.m. Gravity is lowest at time of the day and the air is super fresh, this means that your body gets all it needs to study well. Also keep well hydrated and well-fed.
-Do your homework during the day, not in the morning or at night!
8.) Find a conducive environment to study and also be well-fed and hydrated.
-Food provides energy, water provides a refreshing feeling and a conducive environment provides a comfortable study area.
That’s it from me for today, goodnight and study hard!
