How to prepare for exams? Well, it is a big question that you always ask yourself.

And importantly it is better to study early in the morning when you will have quiet surroundings and you can concentrate more.

Make notes while studying. This is a very important point. Make small notes while studying can help you remember all the points. It will work better if you use these notes for revision in the last one or two hours than you skip through pages of your textbook. It won’t take much time to go through these notes.

Write well. As we all know, the first impression is the best impression. So your handwriting affects your marks. Try to write neatly. If it is not good enough, don’t worry; if you present it in a good manner you can score more marks.
