1. Start organizing your life
Arrange a workstation for you with the help of all your study materials.
2. Keep Calm
The first & the foremost tip is this situation is to keep yourself calm. You don't have an average and you don't have time to prepare, nothing can go more wrong until and unless you panic. So, Keep calm and stay focused.
3. Extract repeated questions
Extract all the repeated questions in the past 5-6 years. None of the questions are repeated in IIT exams but 30% to 80% questions are repeated in University exams every year. In fact, sometimes the entire paper is made from previous year questions with only changes in numerical value and presentation.
4. Preview yours and lecture notes
If you have more than one day left then it will be an easy job and if not try to cover as much as possible.
5. Improve your essay-writing skills
Another common reason for academic under-performance is that the student’s essay-writing skills aren’t sufficient for the level required to achieve top grades. This is fairly easily fixed by improving your essay-writing technique.
6. Save much time for revision
If you’re achieving lower scores than you’d hoped for on timed tests or mock exams, it could be because you’re not allowing enough time for revising for them. This may be because you know it’s not ‘the real thing’, but practice exams are just as important as real ones.
7. Only cheat, if no option is left
Although I'm not trying to promote cheating, the final tip, I would like to give is 'Cheating'. You are already going to fail, what else could go more wrong? You can try to copy from the students nearby you. However, do not get chits and notes into the exam hall as it might get you a year back.
Hire a private tutor
As a last resort, if the ideas in this article haven’t worked for you, you might consider hiring a private tutor to help you improve your grades for a particularly tricky subject.
