The Best Thing to do before an Exam is...

There are two different possibilites.

  • The subject of tomorrow's examination is one of your favourites.
  • You are ..ahem... kinda aversed to the subject. 
FIRST CASE
Since its one of your favourites, you really like spending a lot of time with the concerned subject naturally. You tend to retain information for a longer period after studying the subject's concepts.
Naturally, You also tend to score progressively good in the subject's exams. You adore the teacher, you'll feel piqued if by any chance you are forced to skip one of that subject's classes.

So, even if by any unforeseen chance you haven't prepared for that exam aforehand, even before the day of the exam, the chances are that if you launch into a full fledged preparatory effort, you'll fare well.

If you like the subject in question, then allay any fears you have and start reading.
Remember, Time lost is never gained.

SECOND CASE

Its always been a hard nut for you to crack. You're a proclaimed adversary of the subject at hand.
You hate the teacher, the books, you hate that subject with such maddening rage that the very sound of it makes you curse all the bad things .. or Hey, even everything in the world. 
So, What would you do, if you have an exam of such a subject tomorrow, and haven't prepared a bit?

The natural recourse would be to sit with the book in your hand and wade through the pages all the while praying to Mighty Exam God Almighty that tomorrow's question paper is the easiest one ever in examination history.

There is, however, an extremely viable option too. Simple. Forget it. Yes, don't put in any effort. Scared of a huge Zed ee arr Oh ? Nah, don't be. Its just, you have more important things at hand instead of wasting time on something you never ever wanted to spend time on in the first place.

Having considered both the alternatives, what's the bottom line?


It all boils down to your attitude towards the subject of the exam.
I might even venture to say that, the determination to score good or simply get on with the exam.
The choice you make determines the outcome.
If you want to feel good about tomorrow, then spend today fruitfully.
You might have different choices, ideas or strategies on how tackle a predicament as seen about in this post. Feel free to share it with us in the comments below!
