Study steadily and patiently
The examination is necessary to come to know about the test of our learning. Exams move in whole education life so we do not take stress about them. We should take it easy and study in a comfortable environment.
I think the preparation for examinations starts from the first day of class. This is a whole year's program of preparation that makes us ready for examinations. The preparation of an examination is not only the work to do in a night or a week but it is the learning process that proceeds slowly.
It is my personal experience that if we do not be prepared for the exams from the start it becomes very difficult to prepare the whole syllabus in a month or a week and when we appear in the examination hall we regret not preparing the syllabus in time. If we leave most of our syllabus for the last days of exams, it makes us stressed and we can't thoroughly learn the whole syllabus in a short time.

Concept-making is a good habit
I believe in making concepts. If my concepts become clear, I can learn all of them before exams. But it is a reality that we can't become the best in all subjects so the subjects which appear difficult for me I try to make them easy by searching for them and giving them more time.
We should not repeat the mistakes we have done last year. Sometimes we make mistakes and do not focus on our studies then pray for success and that we will not repeat those mistakes after that. So we should keep in mind that we will not repeat previous mistakes.
Know about our weaknesses
All students are not the best in all subjects. So the method of preparing different subjects is different. It doesn't mean the students can't learn the whole syllabus of a difficult subject but they should beat their weaknesses. First of all, we should come to know about our mental caliper then we should be prepared according to our abilities. If we are mediocre students we should not try to cover the whole syllabus in less time but try to cover it slowly from time to time. And focus on quality instead of preparing a huge quantity of topics.
The wrong way of preparation can lead an intelligent student towards failure if that student will not make a good strategy before exams. A weak student becomes intelligent and can get high marks in the exams if he will make a schedule for his studies and focus on all subjects.
Favourite subjects are easy to prepare
We should know what type of students we are. If we are not able to know it, we will lose. As I am a student of Zoology I don't like maths. I take interest in reading and making concepts of science but it is really difficult for me to be quiet and sit in a corner for practicing the lengthy maths questions. That's why I don't like maths and I haven't chosen the subject. But maths students perform practice (although I read the questions without practicing them). All other subjects except maths are my favorites and I try my best to get higher scores in all of them.
I don't take stress by exams
Tension leads me toward sickness near exams if I would be dissatisfied with my preparation so I try my best to be relaxed about my studies because I make my writing notes from the first day of my class. I make notes from my books and the research material. For exams, I start my thorough preparations before one month and give all subjects proper time. The best way I adopt before my exams are that read all of my short notes before exams.
There are different strategies for every person for exams we should respect them because we all know that every person has their style of reading.
