I know that this is a time when most school, college and university students are partaking their examinations or preparing for them. This is a time for great panic. Whether you prepared sufficiently or not, the exam is always there to be done.

Now, the most unfortunate thing is you entering that exam room with little or no content in your head. One is confronted to copy, use any other illegal means to pass or skive the exam. It is therefore apparent that proper exam preparation is vital. It reaches a time when, especially in university, you forgot your books due to much of leisure. What do you do when the timetable is out and you have only two weeks to exams?

Now, i will never advocate to anybody to use a leakage, pre-prepared notes or to miss sitting for the exam. Whatever the paper you have, face it just as you decided to face academics as whole.

First of all, don't allow your panic to take charge of you. Compose yourself and remember that 'all is well'.

Be at ease. Make an emergency revision timetable to guide you. This may be in terms of units, topics or subtopics. Let it aid you to cover what you have specified in a particular time frame. Do not neglect it even if it prove difficult to follow. It will at least remind you what you forgot to cover.

Ensure you have all the notes and materials that are to be covered in the exam. It is important that you have all the required gists to internalize the precise answers. Therefore, make efforts to get some past papers to know the setting techniques. These should guide your reading. Remember you have no time to read all notes or understand the deeper content. Your

mission here is to pass exams and therefore understand what will make you do so.

Try out the questions yourself. Attempt those on past papers or you may formulate questions from your notes as you read. Evaluate your progress by answering and scoring yourself. Afterwards consultations at areas of difficulty will help. I would advise that you do not over-strain. Cover what your head can allow at a time or else your brains will crash.

Nevertheless, cramming is also an option. For those long formulas, equations, and strange vocabularies; then you have no option but to cram. Lastly but not least, as i will always put it, remember God. He is the supreme being and let Him take control of everything.
