Crisis management!!

The external exams are on for the 2nd, 3rd and 4th years. And for the most part, we are all sailing in the same boat!! 9 in 10 of us are doing those eleventh-hour studies and are wholly dependent on our bibles-All in ones! Even those of us who haven't studied the year long pray desperately to all the gods above to take care. Well, guys, The Gods ll do their job and you should do yours!

Even with all the pressure, you could save your neck.
So, all my fellow sailors, just keep these points in mind during those last few crucial minutes before the exam.

Revise- That's a miracle worker. Learning entirely new concepts will only mess up your already filled-up brain.

Go mum- If you aren't among the revising-types, then you should as well shut-up and sit silent.

Especially, if you know yourself to be a 'nervous wreck' before the exams, then talking lots will not help lots. It only contributes to your hyperactivity. Those delicately balanced answers in your head could fall over the edges! Being slow and calm is the thing. If you are desperate, don't show it.

Fill it- Most importantly, don't go writing on an empty stomach! ( I had done that for the last exam and I had a tough time trying to silent my tummy! Gives you a feeling of being weak :( )

Knock out the bad vibes - Its as simply stated as this- being pessimistic doesn't help, so why be that way! Tell yourself, "whatever the outcome of the exam, I ll be prepared for it and not feel pissed off after completion." That way you aren't all mood-off and angry after the exam.

All this said and done, let's move to the icing on the cake. - The exam.

There are some clever and smart ways of giving an illusion that you have written your answers correctly! ;) The paper-corrector could actually be mildly fooled if you be smart in presenting you paper. Here's another list of fool-proof tatics I beleive will do you good.

Underline- Now, dont start underlining every damned word and preposition. That'll drive the correcting guy crazy. Underline genuinely important words-key words.

Write in points - When writing in points, you'd give the organised look and same time fill up the pages!

Hopefully, these tips ll get the best out of you! Good luck
