8 ways to make the most your preparatory leaves before exams

8 ways to make the most your preparatory leaves before exams

1. Structured Study Plan: Don't just drift through your leave. Create a detailed study schedule. Allocate specific time slots for each subject/topic, prioritizing weaker areas.

2. Prioritize and Focus: Identify the most important topics and subjects that carry the highest weightage in the exam. Focus your energy on mastering these areas first.

3. Active Recall and Spaced Repetition: Instead of passively rereading notes, actively test yourself. Use flashcards, practice questions, or summarize material from memory.

4. Past Papers and Mock Tests: Solve previous years' question papers and take mock tests. This familiarizes you with the exam format, question types, and time constraints.

5. Eliminate Distractions: During your study periods, minimize distractions. Turn off notifications on your phone, find a quiet study space, and let family/friends know you need uninterrupted time.

6. Prioritize Sleep and Well-being:  Don't sacrifice sleep for extra study hours. Adequate rest is essential for memory consolidation and cognitive function.

7. Seek Clarification: If you have any doubts or questions, clarify them as soon as possible. Reach out to teachers, classmates, or online resources for help.

8. Review and Revise Regularly:  Don't just study something once and forget about it. Regularly review previously covered material to reinforce learning and improve retention.
