High school graduates are naturally excited in anticipation of new experiences and the kind of life that college offers. They also consider a college education as the best way to fulfill their dreams, because it is an investment that will never depreciate.
Before that, though, you have to take the first steps in preparation for college life, choosing the right school and taking a college entrance test. College entrance tests are the key to get in to the school that you want. In preparation for the test here are some tips and guidelines that will help you to pass the college entrance exam.
First and foremost, motivate yourself to review hard before the big day arrives. Focus is also important; don’t let anything distract or break your concentration while reviewing.
Organize the topics or subjects that you will be studying and set a timetable for each. Avoid cramming because it’s very stressful and often drives students away from the review table.
Start reviewing as soon as possible,certainly not just on the day before the exams, to be well prepared and to avoid any complication. Take out old test papers from your file and start going through them right away. Note your mistakes and correct them because they might be included in the entrance exams. This way, you will not be making the same error again.
Go over your latest notes in class and refresh your mind with their contents. Polishing your skill in solving problems will definitely make you battle-ready come exam day.
And don’t forget to ask for guidance and support from your family. They’re the ones who will help boost your confidence and make you believe in yourself. Ditto with friends and relatives who are there to inspire and help realize your dream.
Most important of all, don’t forget to pray because God is the one who will provide your needs and guide you to the right path.
Another reminder: God helps those who help themselves.
