Have you ever theought why some students do better than others in their exams? Perhaps you know someone who does brilliantly in class but doesn't perform sp well in her/his exams. The reason for both these scenarios is lack of exam technique. It is the way in which you approach the exam that counts. That makes a difference between a good performance and a brillaint one.
Confidence building is the most important exercise. If you are positive that you will succeed, success is certian. That is half the battle.
The other half is: studying consistently, going over textbooks again and again, and yet again. Selective study does not help. Answers should be brief and to the point. In addition, when studying for science subjects, pay careful attension diagrams.
