Yes, indeed it is that time again. Exams. Now, if you are old and grey (no offence), then read this to have a good laugh at all us young folk, striving for A's and Top marks, and if you are young, unstable, and generally dying thanks to ExStr (Exam Stress), read on and we shall help!
1) They are never that hard... unless you haven't prepared!
Yes, it's cliche, but just listen on this one: YOU WILL DO BETTER IF YOU REVISE! Now, we aren't talking about stay-up-all-night revision, i'm talking about going over a few notes a day, reinvigorating your memory, and talking to people who've DONE the exam. Trust us. It works.
2) Wikipedia's for dummies- Quizlet it!
No, this post isn't sponsored (why would you think that? The mind Boggles!). Yes, Wikipedia is pathetic! Why? Well, maybe because RANDOM PEOPLE ON THE INTERNET CAN EDIT IT! Do you not see that? I mean, you stack the dishwasher THIS WAY. Not YOUR WAY. DUH.
Sorry. I may have just had an argument about how you stack a dishwasher with the computer. We all do it, don't judge. Anyway, that put aside, yes, random strangers can edit it. DUH. So, i come bearing a good alternative. A) Teacher, (but only if you literally HAVE NO HOPE!), B) Notes, C) QUIZLET! Now, some may argue it is edited by random humans, but, the vital difference is A) It is in easy flashcard form, not dumb, MA-HOO-SIVE block's of text, and B) teachers are the editors. So much simpler than going to school and asking a judgy teacher what pathetic fallacy is (Its showing the mood of a scene through the weather. Obvi)!
3) If you have to write a text- Just do your best or cheat like us!
Please, do not be scandalised by this section. Cheating is the easiest way to get AMAZING grades (or a one-way trip to summer school. JK). But, don't just cheat; DESTROY. One of the best ways I do well in MFL (Modern foreign Languages) is bye memorising some google-translated text. Just type in something like "Hello. My name is <insert your name here>, and i am <insert age here> years old" along with whatever other crap the teachers want you to know so they can get their paycheck.
4) Take a book. Yes, i'm not kidding. Exams are boring places.
Chances are, you're smart (like us) and you finish the test early, with about 20 minutes to go, and the only thing to do is contemplate your naval (google that). BUT! you can avoid that by taking a book. Fidget Spinner. Crossword. Revision for other exams. Thank us later.
5) Sit next to a friend, and watch your grades skyrocket.
Reasons for this- A) Friends may give you the answer(s) to any questions you don't know. Its up to you to trust their inner genius (which they probably have, considering they're in the same class as you, which is obvi the best one), and B) If you do that weird pair marking thingy, they will give you GREAT nay AMAZING marks.
There you go. Sorted. Every Little Helps, right Tesco's?
