Expert Answer

A good rule of thumb is to sleep more than you work, work more than you study, and study more than you have fun.

Question

How can I control my nerves during the test?

Community Answer

Look into various relaxation techniques, of which there are several. Try them out in your own time and see what works for you. Focusing on controlled breathing is a big one, especially if your nerves tend to manifest physically, since the way we take in air when we're anxious (often without even noticing) can put the whole body on edge. So going through the steps of controlled breathing can help your body to relax and your mind to feel much calmer.

I am too frustrated, but I want to study. What will I do, so I can start studying?

Community Answer

You can start studying when the time is suitable for you. Also, if you are concerned, and you feel you are still frustrated, tell an adult.

Question

What should I do if I failed in my entrance exam?

Community Answer

You should try other universities. That's why some advice us not to pick only one university/school. It's better to have options.

Question

How do I balance school and entrance exams?

Community Answer

This is a tricky one! You should prioritize your entrance exam - it is far more important. Try talking to your school - if they know your situation, they might be able to postpone some of your school exams so you can focus on your entrance exam.

Question

How would I know where and when the exam is?

Community Answer

You should search daily on the school's website and/or ask around. Some schools announce the exam date at the last minute, so try not to worry.

Question

What should I do if I have no time to study?

Community Answer

You have to make time. Study at school or any time you have a free moment. Keep your study materials with you constantly so you can pull them out whenever you get a chance. If you don't prepare, you won't do well, there are no shortcuts.

Question

How do I prepare a time table for my entrance exams?

Community Answer

First, identify all the subjects you need to study for. Then, see how long away your exam is. This will tell you how long to spend revising/studying each subject.Split your time evenly between all your subjects so that you can take some time to review everything. Take breaks in between, too. All you need to do is follow the time table. Before the exam, get enough rest and don't cram.
