Effective Hacks for Preparing for Upcoming Exams 

1. Make Way for a Dedicated Study Space- Before your kids can get ahead with their exam preparation, make sure that you have an allocated space or the corner in your home where your child can easily study without any distractions. The space that you allocate to your little wizards should be clean and tidy simply because cluttered space will lead to a cluttered mindset. And this will ultimately increase their stress and anxiety levels. There is absolutely no need for you to spend a hefty amount in getting the study space designed for your child. All that you need to do is to ensure that the study corner should be clean and away from distractions so that your child can concentrate. 

2. Kickstart the Study Routine With Short Sessions- As parents, you need to be aware about your child’s concentration levels. There is no point in making them sit for hours and then seeing no result will only disappoint you. So the best way to deal with such problems is to encourage your child to set their study routine or timetable with short study sessions. There is a phrase known as ‘Pomodoro’, which means asking your child to pick up 1 subject or a task within a particular time frame. Once the subject is chosen, set a timer for 30 minutes and let your kids study well for those 30 minutes. Once the timer goes off, ask your kids to take a 10 to 15 minute break. This small yet effective exercise will help your child’s brain to relax. 

3. Practice Mindfulness- Exam fear or anxiety is very common in kids but that does not mean that the kids should let such fears overpower their brain or decisions. Therefore, when the exam time is around the corner you can ask your kids to relax and simply meditate. Well, meditation is an effective tool that will help your kids in calming down their overactive mind and stress that has been there for quite some time. Just let your kids take deep breaths and ask them to stay quiet and close their eyes. This activity will help them to stay calm and will also make way for a healthy peace of mind.

4. Befriend Music- Music can have  a lasting impact on your brain. The power of music cannot be described in simple words because it can reduce the blood flow to the brain’s fear center and this will further increase the dopamine levels, thereby allowing you to de-stress, so all you need to do is to prepare a good playlist that will help you relax and even concentrate properly. 

5. Create Mind Maps- Another effective hack to study for your upcoming exams is by preparing a study mind map that will help you to concentrate and understand all the concepts easily. When we say mind maps we don’t mean wasting your time in creating elaborate drawings. All you need to do is to draw a circle in the middle of the sheet and draw out arrows around it. Now fill in all the details and its associated pointers that will help you. Mind maps are just one of the ways to learn all the important concepts and terms with ease. You can also use the mind map technique for learning and remembering all your mathematical formulas. 

6. Test Yourself- Once you are done with your preparation, make sure that you test yourself. This is also an effective way to remember everything you studied and you will be able to retain information for a longer period of time. In case you feel stuck somewhere, make sure that you back to that topic and revise that nicely. This strategy will make learning simple for you and will also help you with a better understanding of the concepts.
