One of the biggest questions that faces people when they decide to take a challenge on is, “What do I need to do to prepare?” That’s the same question we need to ask ourselves when we take an exam.
Here’s what I do to prepare:
1.Pray
2-4 Consider it a sheer gift, friends, when tests and challenges come at you from all sides. You know that under pressure, your faith-life is forced into the open and shows its true colors. So don’t try to get out of anything prematurely. Let it do its work so you become mature and well-developed, not deficient in any way.
James 1:2-4 (The Message)
2.Relax
Have you ever experienced drawing blanks on a question that you were 100% sure that you knew? That’s probably because you were too anxious that you psyched yourself out. You have to be as relaxed as possible to do better in an exam.
Find a relaxation technique that works for you. Proper breathing helps. Do the other 3 things on this list and that will help, too.
3.Eat and Sleep Well
If you don’t eat or sleep well enough on the days that you study and before the exam, you are setting yourself up for failure. That’s not superstition, folks. That’s science. If you’re hungry, your mind will have less time to think about anything else aside from finding food. If you’re sleepy, your mental and physical processes will be slower. Mythbusters even proved that lack of sleep is as good as being drunk. Would you take a life-changing exam while drunk? Of course, you won’t! So, make sure that you’re well-fed and well-rested.
4.Practice
