1. For natural sciences

Surely during this time, students have stopped all extra classes and exam preparation. Therefore, we will have more time to review the missing knowledge that we have noticed when practicing the test. When we have "noted" the common mistakes in the process of practicing the test, we will discover what knowledge we are lacking. This period of time is very reasonable for us to review, check and fill in our own gaps.

For Math: we should memorize basic math problems during practice, re-read the formulas, and how to solve those problems. When taking the real test, psychological factors also greatly affect test performance, only when we "memorize" those problems can we get high scores.

2. With social subjects

For Literature: to avoid confusion, we should re-read the texts so that when citing evidence for our essays, we can be accurate and precise. Don’t take this lightly, it will help you a lot. Just having ideas and evidence is enough for us to get points from the examiner. The social discussion section also accounts for an important part of the score, so we should spend 30 minutes every day to update interesting social information.

3. Divide time for each subject and complete on schedule

This sprint time needs to be used effectively and scientifically. Therefore, it is necessary to schedule each subject, the subject with the most knowledge gaps will be given more time. Finally, you must use all your speed to complete it according to the established schedule.

4. What to do when stressed?

Relaxing during exam review time will quickly relieve stress, but you should not relax with action movies, games or playing cards, etc., which can easily affect the brain. At that time, it will be very difficult for you to absorb new knowledge. Having a deep, adequate sleep will help you feel comfortable and full of energy for the next exam day. Before going to bed, you should relax, absolutely do not use sedatives because they can easily have a negative effect on the nervous system.

Many people, when the exam date is near, try to study day and night to gain more knowledge. However, that is the wrong way to study. Staying up too late will make your brain tired, making it difficult to absorb information, not to mention that you may forget all the previous knowledge. At the same time, staying up late can easily weaken your body, affecting your health.

5. Maintain a reasonable diet

Nutrition is an important issue during your exam preparation time. Eating nutritious foods such as egg yolks, soybeans, and pumpkin can help improve your memory and help you learn effectively.

We absolutely should not try strange dishes during this time, because our bodies will not adapt to the food, leading to stomach and intestinal diseases, greatly affecting the exam.

You should not use foods that contain stimulants that affect your health and reduce the effectiveness of your exam preparation, especially coffee. Many people think that drinking coffee will help you stay alert and avoid drowsiness. But when the effect wears off, it will easily cause fatigue and affect your memory.
