    Damn the fact this came out just after I was reprimanding myself for silly mistakes in literally every test I have ever done and then scrolling through your vids is crazy. And YES changing answers last minute is almost always a bad idea. Thank you so much for making this.

    Glad you find the video useful! It's so annoying when you write the right answer then change it later because you're doubting yourself! Be sure to like, subscribe and share the video with friends :-)

    my silly mistakes: - changing my first instinct answers - overcomplicating the question - not giving myself enough time to think and saying anything just for the sake of saying something - giving up in the middle of solving problems (physics, maths) thinking it's too hard - being insecure and stressed about the time so jumping to the next question before finishing the first one and so on - not giving my brain the time to figure out a clear structure to solve the problem and just starting to calculate whatever comes to my mind...not knowing where it's all going. - not focusing on what the examiner may want to hear / what he's aiming at - forgetting that I am in an exam situation, which leads to forgetting about the time limit and taking it easy until there's no time left and no more chance to show all the things that I've learned and the capacity of my thinking - not revising just before the exam - letting myself get out of the exam mode by distractions

    maintaining your composure is the MOST IMPORTANT thing (at least for me)! i had a physics test, there was this BIG problem and i got overwhelmed so quickly. what i did was to answer the other small problems first and come back to the big problem. luckily i still had time to calm myself down, taking deep breaths and slowly analyse where my mistake is. i took my time CALMLY until a SUDDEN SNAP and realization hits!!! you don't know how happy i was that day.

    My dumb mistakes: Not changing my answer when i know that i might be wrong Not trusting myself fully (i get overwhelmed when i hear everyone goth everything right and i dont know what i did) Not reading the question properly and only skimming through it Not following my practice and changing my mind last minute

    Do you have something like a check card? I can pull the card from a pocket for every question and then do check, check, check for every item I have to check. It will help tremendously.

    Not at all, it’s still possible but you need to make sure you’re spending your time effectively and doing active revision. Especially exam papers and questions mostly from now on so you get the most exposure to diff questions😊

    There's no measure of 'how hard' you need to work. You just need to give it your all and do it. Asking people may give you some comfort but at the end of the day it all boils down to how much you can get into your brain and how much you practise before the exam.

    Try get a 30cm foldable ruler. 15 will most likely be enough for Maths but you might need longer than 15 if you're drawing graphs in a science for example.
