Special Instructions:
• Make-up test will not be taken. Unavoidable circumstances like serious
illness might be considered but the student must notify his/her course
instructor within 48hrs of the commencement of the exam. The make-up
exam set at a later date will be much harder, as he/she will get more time
to study. So students are advised to avoid it.
• EWU is committed to the highest standards of academic integrity and
honesty. Students are expected to be familiar with these standards
regarding academic honesty and to uphold the policies of the University in
this respect. Students are particularly urged to familiarize themselves with
the Code of conducts of EWU and avoid any behavior which could
potentially result in suspicions of cheating, plagiarism, misrepresentation of
facts and/or participation in an offence. Academic dishonesty is a serious
offence and can result in suspension or expulsion from the University.
• Don’t write anything on the wall or in the chair of the classroom.
• You can’t keep mobile/Tab/smart watch or any other electronic gadgets
(either it switched off or in silent/airplane mode) phone during exam.
• Student who will be in ‘defaulter list’ will not be allowed to participate in
the classes and in the exams.

STUDY SKILLS
Pay attention in class
Take good notes
Keep an organised Notebook
Ask questions in class
Plan a definite study time
and place for each day
exam
Don’t cram for hours the
night before a test or
INDEPENDENT LEARNERS
The following are characteristics of a successful student.
Develop these in yourself
• Ask questions
• Discuss topics with your peers
• If you don’t understand
something, speak up
You are responsible for your own learning
‘Ideas are funny things, they don’t work unless you do’
STUDY TIMETABLE
Study sessions just don’t happen when you feel like
doing them.
They need to be scheduled on an organised timetable.
Your study timetable should rule your life.
SOME TIPS
• Don’t study after 11.00pm
• Divide time equally between subjects
• Put a copy somewhere to keep parents informed
• Revise your study timetable – things change
• Stick to it !
“Well done is better than well said”
STUDY SESSIONS
• How do you study?
• What are you supposed to do?
Study has 3 parts
• Organising subject matter efficiently
• Getting ongoing day to day work and assignments done
• Researching and revising work for exams
• Don’t make study sessions too long
• Drink some water before you start
• Break tasks down into smaller manageable ones
• Do daily summaries of work covered in class in your own
words under Main Points
• Set a task to achieve for each session
• Record your plan of attack for each session
• Practise skills learned by doing problems, exercises and
essays
• Aim to build a clear understanding by connecting areas
of knowledge
• These sessions are the backbone of your Study
Programme
‘ Some succeed because they are destined to:
most succeed because they are determined to.’
PRIORITISING
• When do you study?
• How often?
• What about the other things you do?
Write down :
• The fixed things that you have to do
• Time you have no control over – the ‘musts’
• Activities where you have a choice of the ‘options’
PRIORITISE your OPTIONS
• What are your favourites?
• You can’t do everything
• To achieve your goals, sacrifices have to be made
• Avoid time wasters – make a list of the main ones
• Reward yourself for working well and achieving short
term goals
• To perform at your best requires fulfilling and
stimulating leisure/relaxation time
• You are responsible for the organisation of your time and
lifestyle
‘The first step is the most difficult part of the journey’
PRIORITISING STUDY
Setting yourself a specific task to achieve each night is a
necessary skill
Too often you tend to ‘let it happen’ and don’t plan
ahead
Procrastination is an obstacle to your goals
Each morning or each night before, make a list of study
tasks in order of priority for the following night
You can also use travel time to and from school for
• Planning
• Listening to recorded summaries or points on an MP3
player
Then when you arrive home, it is much easier to get
down to study
• You are psyched up
• Your purpose and task are set
• You can apply yourself immediately
COUNTDOWN to the EXAMS
In the run up to your exams, you must adopt a more
disciplined attitude
Your performance in the exam is vital to your success
Look at them positively as an opportunity to
demonstrate your understanding
Social Life :
• Put this on hold
• Give up parties, nights out etc.
• Plan your rewards you will give yourself after the exams
Exercise :
• Walk or jog daily to reduce the pressure
• It clears the mind and encourages positive thoughts
Distractions :
• Eliminate noise
• Organise for friends to call at an agreed time
Travel time :
• Read over notes
• Listen to study tapes
• Plan and revise
The key is to study actively :
• Take notes
• Test yourself
• Don’t just read
‘ Many drops fill the bucket ‘

A RESUME
DON’T
• Don’t leave Revision to the last minute
• Don’t avoid revising subjects you don’t like or find
difficult
• Don’t forget that there is life beyond Revision and
Exams
A RESUME
REMEMBER :
• Remember it is important to eat and sleep well
• Put yourself first – it is an important time for you – try
to talk to family about how they can make studying a
little easier for you, e.g. by agreeing times when you
can have your own space, when they will try to be a
bit quieter around the house and when you would
rather not be disturbed
DON’T REVISE ALL THE TIME – TAKE BREAKS AND DO
THINGS YOU ENJOY AND HELP YOU RELAX
PREPARE for the BIG DAY
CHECK …
• Have a good breakfast
• Give yourself plenty of time to get to the exam room
• Make sure you know where the exam is being held
• Take everything you need – pens, pencils, water,
anything else?
• Go to the toilet before the exam starts
PACE YOURSELF
• Read the instructions
• Read all the questions and give yourself time to
answer those you are required to answer
• Plan how much time you will need for each question
• If you are stuck, go to the next question. You can
come back to the unfinished one later. If you are
really stuck, try to have an intelligent guess
ABOVE ALL …
• Perform as well as you can – ‘YOU are YOU’ so you can
only do the best you can on the day
• Don’t go through the answers with your friends
afterwards, if it is only going to worry you
• Try to put the last exam out of your mind and look ahead
to the next one – you can’t go back to change things
Exams are Important, but they are not the only key to a successful
future.
GOOD LUCK !
