Herru herru people. How has

your week been so far? Mine

has been stressful because

I was and am still in a slump.

I   have   my   finals in   about

less than 10 days and I still   

cant     seem    to      motivate

myself . Although ,I'm     still

getting some work done cuz  

gRadEs .   ( And    also     cuz

shelter and food as   I dont

want   my   parents   to    kick

me out huhu. )I sound drunk

but bear with me.

Most of the work I've done

so far is solely from math as

it has a lot more   content   I

need       to      revise      when

compared to other subjects.

Now   ,    when   it   comes to

math I have a fixed   set of

"things" I   do   that help me

score   better    than I expect

to . So   I'm    here today   to

share those tips and tricks

with   you that have helped

me   so   far   in   keeping my

math grade from ing me

in the trashcan.

It might be contradicting since people say that working while you're calm and collected is better. But people like me who procrastinate a lot will never be calm and collected . We start working only when the fear of failing sets in and thats basically the night before the exam. So what I do is I scare myself 15-10 days before the exam and start working early because of the fear.

An early Halloween wont hurt.

Take a neat paper and write a list of all the chapters from ur textbook. Keep it safe.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . :herb: ៚

Choosing the hardest chapter will only tire you and drain your motivation. And we dont want that.

:herb: ↻ Start with a chapter you're confident

in and solve every type of question from it ,

without the help of your notes (test yourself )

:herb: ↻ If you dont know how to solve it, dont give

up yet. Just try to solve it in whatever way

you think is right then check the answer in

ur notebook. Look at the answer for a while

and try to understand what you did wrong.

Then close ur notebook, solve another

question and then come back to this

question and try solving it now.

:herb: ↻ Live commentary........ While you're

solving the questions if u happen to make

a mistake or keep forgetting something, then

use a color pen and beside the question, write

down a note to yourself about it . This will

help u ur mistakes better so that

you dont repeat them again in ur exams.

:herb: ↻ If you get doubts in between , then use

google or youtube to clear ur doubts. The more

you clear out your doubts the more you'll feel

confident about the topic.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . :herb: ៚

After you've finished a chapter, take the list you prepared earlier and rate your work .If you did well without the help of your notebook, put a green tick beside the chapter's name. But if you needed the help of your notebook and kept making mistakes then put a red tick beside the chapter's name.

Now solve another chapter and do the same after finishing it too. Keep doing it until u finish solving all the chapters once. Now look at ur list and revise the red chapters again. Rate ur work this time too. If youre still bad at a certain chapter keep practicing it until you can mark it green.

Practice makes man perfect and among all the other subjects math is what requires the most practice. So keep practicing and dont give up.

I cannot emphasize enough how important your confidence is when you want to score well in any subject, including math. I dont mean self confidence. You need to be confident about your answers and knowledge in the examination hall. If you aren't confident , you'll doubt every single line of your answer and keep ing it again and again which will slow you down and also make you nervous, which will lead to you making mistakes unknowingly.

This is why the tips in step 3 are really useful. Once you clear your doubts, practice and make sure you know the topic well ,you'll definitely not think of anything else while answering the question paper and you'll be confident. Hence, you'll score better.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . :herb: ៚

If you find past papers for the exam you're taking then go through the questions and see if you can solve them. If you cant, ask your teacher or the internet for help and try to solve it again. The more questions you solve the better your grip will be on that topic.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . :herb: ៚

Before the exam, I would reccommend going through the sheets on which you practiced the problems instead of your class notes . Because they are more recent and you even have little notes written here and there about the mistakes you make, so it will be better to skim through them instead of the notes.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . :herb: ៚

I dont know about other places but where I live , the questions in the exams come straight from the textbook. And due to this, many students just memorize the solution instead of solving it on their own. It does get you the grades but is it really worth it? At the end of the day you're not learning anything new and are just memorizing it like a poem. Besides if you learn how it is solved and the concept behind it, its so much more useful. Its less time consuming and you will be able to solve a number of questions based on the same concept.

So try to learn the concept as it will save your time and plus you'll it for way longer.

That was it for this blog . I

hope the tips will be helpful

to you someday. My intros

are usually longer but by the

the time I reach the   outro I

almost always have nothing

to say. Ummm.....Do you like

ramen?      Comment     down

below if you do ^ω^

Oh yeah!I do have something

to say! I know many of you

have exams this week   or in

the week . I cant

tell you to be calm as I cant

even calm myself down.   But

I hope you'll take some rest

in between all the stress and

studying. You might feel that

pulling an all-nighter is what

assures good grades . Well,

that aint it chief. Take care of

yourself while studying hard.

Your health is important too.

I   wish   you   all   the   best!!

Thank you for attending my

Ted talk! Bubbye ~
