many have wanted to pass exams but have gone into the exam room already having failed the exam. mental preparedness is a key to passing exams at every level of your studies. dont mark yourself off, some say, "if someone is going to fail then that will be me." No, dont write yourself off, dont doubt your own ability to ace the exam.
secondly, some people have failed exams not necessariry that they were not prepared, rather because they failed to plan their working right in the exam. the paper has 10 questions of which 3 earn more marks and are abit difficult (not impossible, mind you); what does this person do, he starts with the difficult questions. he takes a great deal of time on these, and they prove impossible to him/her. then when there remains less time, he goes for the simple questions, really? chances are very high that this person will fail. never let yourself pass an exam at the markers leniency or mercy
plan your working in the exam.
this other person manages to attempt all questions and has still some time before the end of the exam, and what does he/she do? sleep, really? this is your time to proof read your answers. have you written correct spellings? isnt there anything that needs additional information? have you written your answers in the correct order, does each response go with respective question? it happens sometimes to write an answer for question number 2 on number 1. the thing is, manage your time. remember that's the only time set for your to take that exam, you can sleep anytime but not this time. those things you may want to go out of the exam early for, will be there but not this exam.
apart from that, what you do before the exam also matters alot. you may say, the exam is in 5 weeks time, 10 weeks time but when these weeks are over this time will not be there anymore, so study like the exam is tomorrow, but remember also, "zikachulukitsa sizidyeka"
