May and June are probably the worst months when attending high school. You have to take a large number of exams and pass to pass them. Some students arrive prepared, but if you've remembered having to come back for exams later than your peers, it's never too late to fix it.

Steps

Step 1. Try to come up with a plan to review

For example, you could study for an hour and then take a 20-minute break. Each solution is considered effective as long as you can get results. Remember that your future depends in part on the grades you get in exams.

Step 2. Don't let distractions like TV, computer, video games, and mobile phone interfere with your study

You have a whole summer to think about these things; now you have no excuse not to focus on what you need to do.

Step 3. Collect all your notes together

Make sure you have all the books and textbooks you need for each subject. If you can't find them, read the next steps.

Step 4. Make a list of all the exams you need to take and the dates of each exam

Step 5. Make a list of all the topics you need to review

Part 1 of 4: Mathematics

Step 1. Check which topics you are asked to study to take the exam

Different schools may have different study programs, so request your program from your school so that you review all the topics that are needed and avoid wasting time studying others that are not required of you. All the notions of mathematics learned so far have the purpose of preparations to support the maturity. Those learned in high school are very important because in those years more mathematics was studied than has been done until then.

Step 2. Try to study using your textbook or the notes you have taken, repeating the exercises several times to check that you are able to answer the questions

Look for websites that explain the toughest questions.

Step 3. Practice with the exams from past years

This is mandatory! You must be familiar with the format of the exam that you have to take before taking the actual test, so you will not be surprised to see the questions. Correct your answers and review all questions so that you fully understand where you went wrong. When you get a question wrong, try to practice more with the topic it deals with.

Step 4. If you have serious problems with math, ask your parents to help you out if they know the subject well

Also ask for help from siblings, cousins and friends or go directly to your teacher. The task of the teachers is to make sure that the students have well assimilated the subject they teach; so, make the most of this resource you have available. You may feel uncomfortable asking for help, especially if you have to do it in front of your friends, but remember that here we are talking about your future: if you get bad grades in high school, you could jeopardize the future of your studies or your chances of finding a good one. work.

• Watch online math help videos. They are very useful because you will be able to see a real human being explaining the questions and showing how to solve problems.

• Find a tutor. Even if you will have to pay for it, this person could help you increase your self-esteem in the study of the subject and understand and solve math problems.

  

Part 2 of 4: Sciences

Step 1. Check your curriculum for this subject

Step 2. Study by reviewing your notes, reading the textbook, and using any online support sites

Step 3. Try taking the exams of past years and do some research to find information on the topics of the questions you can't answer

If you can't do it alone, ask the teacher to help you out.

Step 4. If you are studying physics, biology and chemistry together, try to review well as the exams for these subjects are quite difficult

Step 5. To review the notes:

read them, then repeat aloud what you have learned. Review your notes several times to make sure those notions get into your head.

Part 3 of 4: Italian

Step 1. Read the notes you have made about each poem or story

Step 2. If you have a talent for writing essays, passing the Italian exams should be easy enough for you even without reviewing too much, because the tests consist mostly of inventing stories and reading between the lines

If you are having difficulty, go to the websites for advice.

Step 3. Make sure you have a copy of all the books you need to read for the exam

Normally they should give you several titles to choose from to write the essay. Choose the title that matches your study program.

Step 4. Read the instructions carefully

If you are asked to choose just one question to answer, make sure you don't try to answer all of them.

Step 5. Depending on your study method, you can use different approaches to taking notes

Try making mind maps, review cards, or writing it all down on one page.

Step 6. For exams for which you are asked to take an essay, try to study the subject thoroughly because they normally ask questions about only about 10% of all the material they give you to study

Part 4 of 4: Taking Exams

Step 1. Prepare your pencil case the day before each exam

It would be a big problem if you remember forgetting your calculator when the exam is about to start!

Step 2. Get enough rest

Go to sleep earlier than usual.

• Get to school early so you don't immediately start worrying about being late.

• Take a bottle of water (unlabeled) with you if they let you and believe you will need it.

  

Warnings

• Remember to bring extra pens, pencils and erasers with you. Bring a working scientific calculator.
• Make sure you wake up early to get to school in time for the exam!
