Default 10 Simple Ways to Ace Your Next Test

During my years as a professional tutor, I was often asked if I could boil all my academic guidance down into a quick list of tips. The answer was usually no, since every student who came to me had his own personal struggles.

But I discovered over the years that there was a common thread (or 10) running through most of the academic struggles I witnessed: not enough time studying; overcommitment; self-defeating mindset; bad study habits; etc.

So I finally boiled down my advice into a list of 10 quick tips. Of course, most of this really is common sense -- but sometimes, common sense is just what we need.

10 Simple Ways to Ace Your Next Test

Enjoy.

There are a few things I left off this list: Finding a tutor, for example, and joining a study group. We could have easily made this a top 20 list.

Good blog as usual John...

I wish I had seen that before I entered Chiropractic College years ago...

Another thing that NLP teaches is that it is wrong to think that we could be good in certain subjects... and lousy in some others... it is simply a core belief that we have adopted... and has no biological or psychological foundation...

We should be able to perform about evenly in every subject matter that we study... that is, if we are honestly interested in the subject... and don't have debilitating beliefs about it...

Great tips. They remind me of advices, my college tutor gave me, when I was afraid I will fail each and every final exam.

The most useful advice he gave me is to make a schedule for all subjects I have to study for, so I will not spend time on one and forget about all others.

Another is to schedule time for fun and relaxation. This one turned the dreaded exam preparation period into the most exiting and productive time in college.

And another one, which is pure gold - if you crashed and messed up the study plan - forgive yourself and continue.
