    A/L Exam Study Secrets!
    I will give you few study secrets I’ve followed when I did my A/L in 2007.

    1. Motivation

    Malli/Nangi motivation is the key of success It’s the secret which drives you to the maximum which keeps you focus to the studies.
    Here are few things which will keep you Motivated.

    Only think about 4As. Try to use your full effort to get 4 As. Write it in your short notes
    Eg: Economics A , Business Studies A , Accounting A , English A,

    Use a Scrap Book. Scrap book is a Book you write everything.
    Scrap book is very important to keep you motivated. And where ever you see something important write it down.

    Eg: your Study plan, things come in to your mind! It will surely give you good memories after exam!

    2. Study Plan.

    Study Plan is Very Important for the success of the exam.
    To make a study plan you must know full detailed syllabus.
    Ask your school teacher or you can find in master guide books.

    You must have 2 study plans


    A.Major Plan
    This plan is the plan how are you going to cover syllabus
    e.g.

    April
    Business Studies – Unit 1, 2 (theory + Short Notes)
    Economics - Unit 1 (theory + Short Notes)
    Accounting - Unit 1 (theory +Short Notes)

    June
    B.S - Unit 3 (theory +Short Notes)
    Econ - Unit 2 (theory +Short Notes)
    Accounting - Unit 2 (theory +Short Notes)
    Etc…….

    B.Simple Study Plan(short term Study Plan)
    Major Plan will keep you focus but it will not work because
    situation changes every moment!
    Simple study plan should be change week by week.
    When its near to exam you might even change it to hour by hour.
    e.g.
    April week 2 (7-13)

    7- B.S Unit 1 Acc 1988 Paper
    8– Econ Unit 1 ( x – y page) Acc Unit 1 Revice
    9–
    10–
    11–
    12–
    13-



    3. Understand your weaknesses

    First do a paper from every single subject.. and give it to your class teacher and
    he/she will mark it to you then ask them what are your weaknesses and they will
    guide you.
    Focus on the subjects or areas that you are weak and improve them.

    4. Study times

    Malli/Nangi we are not NISHACHARA animals. So I recommend study in early morning.
    In morning it’s the beginning so you can start your day with studying.
    In night it’s the end of the day and you are tired so it’s hard to memorize.
    Night is the best time to do accounts…
    I studied at morning 3A.M. onwards and I slept and 8 P.M.
    In the morning you have to see your plan and verify your things to do today…
    Some people are convenient in studying in night so you should try both and find out which way suites you best!!

    5. Hand Writing

    Mailli/Ningi if you got bad hand writing its ok but keep it clear and tidy.
    So every one can read it. Think examiner might be 45 year old person
    who wears glasses and gone through many bad handwriting
    so please keep in mind to keep your paper clear and tidy.
    You can improve don’t give up.

    6. Dedication

    Malli/nangi in this world human being is the only animal who can change his destiny.
    A dog can think he wants to be in a rich family pet?(higher living status) but he
    can never be… But if a human thinks to reach a higher living status he surely can…
    NO PAIN NO GAIN… if u got a girlfriend think about both of your future and
    dedicate for your exam!! Malli girls will come and go in your life but your time age
    will not come again! I lost my girl because my focus to exam. If she really loved me she'll never go away!

    7. Don’t listen to songs while you studying listen to music

    Songs will take your mind every where so PLEASE DON’T LISTEN TO SONGS but if
    u can listen to instrumental music its ok.

    [FONT=&quot]Here are few Music tracks, Good to listen while you are studying![/FONT]
