Hey guys, if your exams are near then you have probably come to the right article so basically in this, I will tell you about the things that you should avoid during your exams.

Honestly speaking I was an average student when I was at school and college but somehow I managed to get decent marks in the exams and today I am going to share the things that I used during my exam days.




So here are the things that you should avoid during your exam days.

🔷1. Comparing you with your friends.

We all have friends, some of them are intelligent and some of them are not but when we are school especially in the teenage we compare us with others that if he/she had a read all chapters for the upcoming exam and you have not that made us insecure.

In the end, we cannot concentrate on our studies and that may be the Sign of bad results.

If you or your child has insecurities with other child try to make them understand that everyone is different and comparing someone with others will not solve the problem.

🔷2. Use of  Social Media.

Using social media during the exams can lead to extreme distraction because now a day’s use of Face book, YouTube, Tik Tok, and Instagram are used by everyone and due to urge about knowing what other’s are doing that can lead to more and more use of social media platforms which can be a major factor for fewer marks in exams.

Do you know that on an average a person who uses Smartphone on daily basis spends about 3-4 hours daily on social media platforms which result in wastage of time?

I know it’s hard to not use any social media apps during exams but for better marks, you have to do it or you can limit the use of it by using several apps that lock the Smartphone after 15-20 min of usage.

Try this method one week or much before your exams and try to reduce the time limit at In the end you stop using and start concentrating on your studies.


🔷3. Being nervous or anxious

Being nervous not only in the exams but on other things can ruin your day if you are very nervous about your exams that (what are the chapters which will be coming, I am not fully prepared, or I  have not revised the whole book) This question arises in everyone's mind but if you are nervous before the exam or even during the exam then surely you will get less marks.

Try to be calm this happens with everyone even I was nervous in the exam when I was giving my first university paper but what I did is stayed calm a and attempted those question which I knew first and then the in rest of the question which I have no idea about the wrote the answers relevant to them.

In that way, I somehow managed to get good marks.

🔷4.Taking the subjects lightly like(English, Gk, Moral science, etc)

These things happen with all of us if you are studying in an English medium school then you must have taken the subjects lightly like English, GK, moral Science and etc. You have to treat all the subjects the same because they all carry the same marks treating any subject lightly will result in fewer marks which you should try to avoid the exam.

Subjects like Math’s, Physics, Chemistry, Biology requires more time to study compared to others, now I am not telling you to not to read these subjects but try to read the other subjects as well at least 1 hour a day which can help you gain marks in your exams.

🔷5. Enjoying in the preparation leave.

We all do silly mistakes during the exam time and one thing which is to be avoided is that not studying during the preparation leave, many of us feel like to study in the last hours in the exams due to which we mug up all the things and proper preparation is not done.

If you get 1 or 2 days preparation leave during the exams to make a time table and on the first day revise half of the things and the next day revises half in this way you can remember easily. If you read everything before one day of the exam then it will not help you.

🔷6. Playing video games

I know playing video games enhances motor skills of the brain and hand-eye coordination but during the examination, you not try to attempt these things because as you know if you started playing it you get down deep into it and in that way you are going loose 1-2 hours of the precious time of your study hours.

🔷7. Not Sleeping well

Getting proper sleep is one of the most important parts not only during the exam days but daily it is good for health also, getting sleep of 6-7 hours is a must for everyone so those who study for a long period without taking a nap can disturb the sleep cycle of the body.

When the sleep cycle of the body gets disturbed you will feel very lazy and memorization power also gets low.

Follow this simple rule “Early to bed early to rise” no matter what but one day before the exam try to get proper sleep because it will relax your body and that way you can write the exam well.

🔷8. Depending on others

During exams, some people depend on others that their friends will answers to them in the exam or help to pass them illegally if you do this than probably in the future you can not succeed or if you get caught during cheating that may affect badly into your academic career.

Our fate is in our hands because hard work can only bring success to us there is no other way to get success in the exam or anywhere.

🔷9. Going to social functions.

The human being is a social animal that is the main thing which makes us different from other living beings I know It may sound bad to avoid social function but if you're not prepared well for your exams you should not attend any functions.

People may get upset with you but you can clarify them about the condition later.

🔷10. Attending too many tuitions.

So taking tuitions are not bad but before one or two days it may not help you because at peak time if you are going here and there to help you will forget what you know from the other chapters and not get proper time to revise the other chapters.

Before the exams, you should do self-study or group study in this way you can fatly clear your doubts.

🔷11. Reading Multiple subjects at a time.

This is the main reason why you can not complete your syllabus because during preparation leave some people to tend to read multiple subjects which is a sign of lack of interest in the subjects.
