Next up: List your exams
You do not need any license or registration to study for exams. If you have a learning difference like ADHD or dyslexia, you can ask your school's disability services office or your school counselor for extra time or other accommodations. Do this early, because it takes time.
Can I start right away? Right now, take a sheet of paper and write down every exam with its date. Then pick the first topic you feel weakest in and do one 25-minute study session with a timer.
Write down every exam with date and time. Count the days left. List the topics for each exam and rate each one: strong, okay or weak. Spend most time on weak topics. Plan 2 to 4 study blocks per day of 25 to 50 minutes with breaks, and leave one lighter day per week.
Do not just reread. Close your notes and try to write down or say what you remember. Use flashcards, practice questions and blank-page summaries. This is one of the best-proven study methods.
Review a topic after 1 day, 3 days, 1 week and 2 weeks. Short repeated sessions beat one long cram session. Apps like Anki do the scheduling for you.
Take old exams with a timer and no notes. Then check your mistakes and write down why you got them wrong. For math and science, redo problems instead of just reading solutions.
Sleep 7 to 9 hours, especially the night before the exam. Memory is stored during sleep. Eat regular meals, drink water, limit energy drinks and take a short walk daily. If you feel constant panic or are very overwhelmed, talk to a school counselor or call or text 988 in the US for support.
Prepare your bag the night before with ID, pens, calculator and water if allowed. Arrive early. Read all questions first, start with easy ones and keep an eye on time. If you blank, breathe slowly and move on.
