    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.

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

    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.

    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.
