A nightmare for every student, both because of their intensity and scores. Many are struggling to reach their wanted result. Here are some tips to increase your exam marks. Though these tips might not work out for everyone, it should be a suggestion to help you find your own way to get good grades.


Setting a realistic goal

You are either extremely focused during the math class or probably having your head lost in the process. That says a lot about how good you are at this subject because students are only interested in things they usually do best. The score of a single subject is not enough to judge anyone comprehensively. Just try not to push yourself too hard and expect too much. Pick a target that can satisfy yourself, yet achievable and within your reach.


Hard-working and detailed scanning

Multiple-choice exams include a vast set of information across a certain section required to learn. Some small, easily-neglected details are simply added to make the test much harder. Thus, the only way to deal with it is absorbing everything available. And shoving all of them on the final day does not seem that ideal. The best solution is learning each bit on each day, slowly strengthening your understanding of the matter. Look for any details in the book and your notes, they will be very helpful.


Trying mock tests

Look for tests from recent years or from the Internet. They will help you get used to the questions. It is one way to foresee how the questions will be organized and a chance for reviewing all the knowledge you have learned. Gaining some experience should be a great way to prepare for your next exam.


Setting mentality

Please try not to enter the exam room with a nervous breakdown. There is not much time for hesitation anyway. And please try not to be over-confident. How awkward will it be if you fail miserably? Thus, the most important thing when making decisions in intense situations is to stay calm, focused and relaxed. Take a deep breath if needed.



Those are some advice for those who are currently struggling with getting good grades. It is the final weeks of the school term and tests are coming rapidly. Wish all of our viewers the best results this school year.
