Tips for success in Exams

Tips for success in exam
Asslam Alaykum,
Given it’s the time of the year when many are
either sitting exams or about to over the coming
weeks, I thought I would share my top tips for
exam success. I pray you find them beneficial and
that Allah grants you success in this life and the
hereafter, ameen.
1, Avoid unnecessary talking outside the exam hall
before the exam. It’s too late to do anything now
and listening to others about what they have
revised, or not, might just damage your confidence
2, Commence with Bismillah. Read the paper/ exam
question carefully (note how many questions need
to be answered)
3, Decide on which questions you will answer. At
first you might tick all those you can answer and
then narrow them down further by preference if you
have too many.
4, Divide your time equally in proportion to the
marks available for each question/ sub question.
5, Re read the question, highlighting any key words
6, Make an answer plan. Even if it is only brief
notes beside the question it will help you cover all
your points and give a structure to your answer.
7, Pray Bismillah and start answering the question,
sticking with the time allocation you planned out
and referring back to the question so you actually
answer the question and not go off track.
8, Write clearly – the examiner cannot mark what
they cannot read! Leave a line space between your
main points/ paragraph to help the examiner mark
your work.
9, Avoid the post-mortam analysis after the exam
with friends and other students.
10, Perform 2 units of prayer and make dua in
gratitude to Allah that the exam went well and
that He grants you success.

Don't read alone share with friends
