MANY STUDENTS LACK THE EFFECTIVE MECHANISMS FOR STUDIES. THIS MAKES THEM LESS PREPARED FOR EXAMS AND EVENTUALLY END UP FAILING.DUE TO THIS, RESEARCHERS HAVE COME OUT WITH EXFFECTIVE MEASURES TO HELP FACILITATE STUDENT’S ABILITIES IN STUDIES SO AS TO PASS AND PASS WELL IN THEIR EXAMS. THE MEASURES ARE AS FOLLOWS:
1. Have a Decent Timetable for Your Studies.
The WAEC examinations are not the kind of exams that
students just get in and perform well. You must have a
decent timetable that outlines your reading schedule. This schedule should allocate adequate time for all your
subjects.
2. Don’t Depend On Waec Expo
This is the reason why so many candidates fail waec. They depend on answers that will be sent to them on the waec examination day. Getting waec answers on the exam day is still very valid. You can get both waec theory and Objective answers in your inbox. However, they are not to be trusted. You can be a victim of wrong answers.
3. Have Confidence in Yourself
You should be very confident in yourself and believe that you will pass the exams. Though the exams are usually hard for students to pass, a confident student will easily pass the exams and proceed to the University. Therefore, students should exercise self confidence before and during the exams.
4. Don’t Procrastinate
Later things. This is the top language of procrastinators. You need to start anything you need to start so as to pass waec. Do not delay or surrender.
5. Take Notes when you Study
During your allocated time for study, it is important to
take notes on some important points. These notes might help you when doing a final revision for the annual WAEC exams.
6. Don’t Be Afraid of Some Subjects
Maths is difficult. This is the language many waec
candidates. Yours may not be mathematics. But make sure you kill any fear you have for any subject. They are all simple.
7. Revise Past Papers
While doing your revision, you should allocate good time revising the past papers. As a trend by the WAEC,
examination tests are drawn from previous papers. They only twist the questions to get a new examination.
Therefore, you should not ignore the past papers and
actually take it as a preparation strategy to revise them.
Read all the Examination Rules Before Exams Being a
regional examination body, WAEC has strict rules that
govern its examinations. You should thus read all the rules before getting into an exam room. Though the rules will be written in front of the question paper, some students fail to read them during examination period and thus show the importance of reading them prior to the exams.
8. Get Adequate Sleep and Eat Well
As the examination dates approaches, you should have
healthy meals and give yourself enough sleeping time. This is one of the preparation strategies that have been
ignored by students who opt for extending study hours
during the night. This could be the reason for the regular failure by students. Get this strategy right and sleep well.
9. Improve in your Writing
Your writing is the first thing examiners look at. Make
your writing very clear and simple. Write in a very simple
and understandable English.
10. Compose yourself and Properly Present your
Answer
You should plan to compose yourself during the
examination. Learn the right sitting postures for
examinations. And don’t be in a rush to answer questions during the exams.
11. And yes.. pray before and after your Exams.
The above mention tips should be followed by senior
school students who want to prepare adequately for their forthcoming West Africa Examination Council examination.
