Entrance Exam Preparation Mistakes to Avoid: A Student's Guide

It’s not about working harder, but working smarter when it comes to cracking an entrance exam, and too many brilliant students get caught out each year by missing some simple mistakes that could have been avoided. Common Mistakes Holding You Back: No study timetable: random studying will consume hours and create a panic-mode from trying to study at the last minute. Studying from an incorrect syllabus: you will have wasted time preparing subjects that are not even on the syllabus.

Not doing mock exams: when the real exam happens, you will have no preparation for the pressure that will occur during the real exam. Cramming instead of understanding: cramming will rarely work during an exam because of the pressure that will be presented. Remember the Basics: Regular revision for a lot of students is overlooked.

Making sure that you receive adequate sleep and eat properly is very important for ensuring your focus is at its highest level. A Smarter Way To Prepare: When you develop a timetable, work through past paper exams, and do regular mock exams, you will win over cramming in preparation.
