EXAMS AND SCORE WITH FLYING COLOURS
• Studying for the sake of studying will not bring you to be the top student
and score but what you need to do is studying the smart way and not just
memorizing. Studying smart will help you outline what is needed and the
right way of grasping what is wanted. Some of the points will help you as
a tool for studying smart. In this article, we will share with you 12 smart
ways to study and excel in SPM/STPM exam.

• http://www.pendidikanmalaysia.com/2014/05/12-easy-tips-on-how-to-
study-smart-for.html
• 1. Interesting
You should study the way thing may interest you by linking the topics you are
about to study with your daily routines. This will help you stay connected and
be conscious in what you are studying. You can try to link the theory by getting
involved in trying out practically. This may not be practical but you can try out
with subject which can be done with these methods.

2. Time management
Managing time to study is an important method where you have to allocate
certain subject or topic with certain period to study. This will help you stay
focus on what you want to achieve at the end.

3. 20-50 Minutes
Revising is not just studying non-stop for hours it will not work. This is because
brain needs time to for new memory. You should not just read but need to write
notes, questions asking yourself or do mapping. This will help your brain to
work more efficiently. Besides that 5-10 minutes break in between should be
encouraged, this will help your blood flow and to make you be more alert. You
can just leave everything take a deep breath or do some exercises. Another
important thing is you need a good night sleep to help you in being alert and
absorb whatever you revise. If you feel tired and sleepy while you are studying
just leave and take a 20 minute nap.
• 4. Place
Choosing and using a comfortable and right place is very important aspect in
smart studying. This is to say that comfortable means is to have good and
clean environment not the cosy and over-comfortable spot where it will make
you fall asleep before starting to study. For an example bed will not be a
suitable place to study as it has the pulling sense to lie down and then fall
asleep. The environment also need to be given full attention as some will
prefer quiet place where else some prefer to study with music and don’t really
care if they’re in a busy place. The spot to study should be according to your
comfortable and needs. This will help you give full concentration in your
studies.

5. Free and relaxed Mind

Starting your revisions with a clear and relaxed mind will help you in gaining
full memory of what you studied. If you are in a disturbed mind, try not to study
but scribble all the notes of what you intent to study. This somehow will help
you to have free and relaxed mind before you start your studies. You can try
these simple techniques such as writing down keywords and repeating it
whenever you are not on track as this will help you come back to the topic or
issues that you in.
• 6. Snacking
Preparing snacks before your study session will help you stay away from
hunger. Do not consume foods and drinks that gives you rush of energy. This
will not help you stay focused but will ruin your study as you will feel sleepy
and whatever you study will just erased from you mind. Try consuming food
and drinks “slow release” carbohydrates which gives you balanced energy to
boost your serotonin, a brain chemical that makes you feel good.

• 7. Rewrite notes
Write a draft notes in class, this is to emphasize to take all notes given in class
rather than trying to get a full and neat notes in class but you don’t understand
the contents. This neat and nice notes will not help you to understand your
notes well but the concentration given in class and writing all short form notes
while lectures is on will help you in understanding the topic better. Notes can
be written neatly at home and this is the way to test your ability in
understanding what were taught in class. Make sure all notes is written as
soon as possible because the information will be fresh in your mind.
• 8. Important Points
You should not try to memorise word by word but try to grab all the important
points. You should read all the introduction and summary of every topic you
are about to start, this can help you to get idea of what you are going to start
with and what the topic consist of and what you should know at the end of the
study.

Highlighting important words and sentences will help you to grab all the
important information that you wanted. This will help you and make you easier
when you reviewing and revising later. The highlighted points will help you to
make your own notes where you can summarise from all the highlighted word
or sentences. This method will make your book look dirty but it is the right way
and its worth your effort.

The summary that you have will give you quicker access and learn things
which are still fresh in your memory and in a way will help you absorb all the
important or points and help you to have quick revision before your test or
exam rather than reading and memorising word by word all the topics.

Reading it aloud and teaching someone else will help you gain double what
you have studied and learned. Try to incorporate your summaries into the
related notes. Teaching others will help you broaden your understanding
towards issues or topics which you are not familiar in.
•
9. Flash cards
Flash cards will help you to save all the important points of the topic u have
read. You can set a set of questions one side and the answers in the other
side where you can start using those questions to ask yourself and try to
answer without referring to the answers. This way will help you repeating and
testing your knowledge on what you have studied and what u has gained.
Repeating will help you remember what you have studied and understand
better the topics rather than just memorising all the point without knowing what
is the topic about. Besides this, flash card note taking is also essential
because you can keep as short as you can. This is not the only thing but you
can get all your short notes with the important notes.
• 10. Linking information
Linking information you newly studied with the one already exist in your mind
will help relate the topic and understand it better. You can take advantage from
your likes where you can use that certain styles to incorporate your studying
method. If you can’t memorise you some unique style which will help you, for
an example writing catchy wards which will stay in your mind. This is because
many feel it’s easy to remember silly rather that boring things.

Linking information in the form of mind mapping will definitely help you get all
the important points of a certain issues. Visualization skills also can help you
visualise the whole concept rather than just writing it in words and memorising
it word by word without any understanding. Condensed notes should always be
with you which will help you in anytime you need the information. Make sure
it’s always with you wherever you go and where you are.

11. Group study

Studying with a group of friends will help not only understanding the topics but
you can share and exchanges information with one another where something
you know and smoothing your friends know but you don’t. The group study
should consist of friend who has the same intention to study so the group
study will be a fruitful one and just not meeting to just waste time and energy.
This group study also can help each other to clear all the curiosity they have
as all of you will be giving ideas by explaining the issue and finally it will be
settled.
•
12. Internet
Social networking can be an advantage to you and your study if you use it in a
proper way. There are many option and information online where can help you
in one way or another. There is also a risk of using internet as many will be
influenced by the sites just as Facebook, YouTube and other sites where some
will be glued to it to just get unwanted gossips and information.

The suggested tips above is just a few recommendation to help you in studying
smart but it is not solely to be followed and it is not 100% guaranteed to
archive what you are aiming for. The success will only come if there is full
effort is put into studying with positive mind and body. People can vary as a
different method applies to different people according to their needs and
wants. Indeed, there are many ways of SPM smart studying for you to do and
practice. If a student can at least select five or more of them and be disciplined
enough to use those methods throughout the academic year, then, there’s no
reason why you should not succeed and pass the SPM exam with flying colors.

she turned to sports and video games to handle the stress.
• Her advice to students was to study smart to avoid feeling overstressed.
• "If you just force yourself to study (when sleepy or tired) you will end up feeling
stressed and it will be harder for your brain to digest the information. The
afterschool extra revision classes prior to the exams were also most helpful for
me."

subjects rather than memorising them. If I do not understand the theories I
would not hesitate to ask my teacher to explain to me. If I am unable to consult
with her during class hours then I would message to ask her online."
• To handle any study stress, Jing Foh said he went to church, movies or
chatted with friends.

About 70 per cent understanding and 30 per cent memorising. Because when
we can understand the theory then automatically it's easier for us to
memorise."

or locally to get a degree in an engineering field.
• Student Sandra Ann Jerry,20 said she felt happy and blessed as she didn't
expect to achieve a CGPA 3.67 result.

draw things and I love music and it helps in reducing the stress and of course
sports.

their papers if they are not satisfied with the results.

devastated about it but I really wanted an A so I repeated the paper and I got
an A. So it was satisfying to achieve what I targeted."

• "My advice to students is to plan ahead and not do things last minute which is
important in order not to panic. For me when I try to cram things last minute in
my head it may work for short term memory but in the long run for SPM, in
order to cram two years of study is a lot of information and short term memory
doesn't really work because you will panic before the exam and it won't really
work.
• "I also believe that sleep is important because if your brain is not in tip top
condition you can't think straight and it's annoying and you can't figure out the
question.
• "I would do a really short revision of about an hour at night but to put things in
long term memory you need to prepare earlier. You don't need to do big
chunks of study at a time as research has proven that humans only have 15
minutes of concentration at a time. But as SPM came nearer I intensified my
studying and asked my teacher more question on how to answer properly.

• "Proper answering techniques are also very important and should get more
information from teachers as well for that."
• Brendon Euwan Chua Angakis,17 said his study technique was to study smart
adding that his early start in Form Four made it easier for him.
• "I am attentive in class and I also do my homework, he said, adding that any
study stress he experienced he turned to sports such as basketball to
alleviate.
• "My advice to students is to push early during the time they are in Form 4 as
its really very important. Your friends are also important as in the last months
of Form 5 in preparing for the SPM we really need to help each other out."
• Brendon said he hopes to take A levels and thereafter continue his studies
either locally or overseas.
Candidate A : In your opinion, one way is to attend intensive tuition classes. Elaborate.
• Tough syllabus, competitive system make it important
• Tuition used to be seen as extra help for struggling students, but is increasingly being viewed as a
necessity for students to do well in school
• extra hours and greater individual attention in smaller classes in the tuition centres provide students
with a greater edge in Singapore's competitive education system.
• These have become especially important as the school syllabus has become increasingly
challenging,
• While tuition can help if students are really struggling with a subject, teachers should be generally
able to help most students through regular classes and, if necessary, extra lessons
• It's very difficult for students to do well without tuition. The tutors are able to better help with the extra
analytical and challenging questions that pop up in the exams

• -----------------------------------
• There is a legitimate concern when students spend long hours at tuition and do not have enough time
to enjoy life
• parents who send their children for tuition may not always be motivated by grades, They might be
searching to provide for their children something extra, beyond what mainstream schools can offer,
such as increased self-confidence or personal guidance,"
 Candidate B : In your opinion, one way is to attempt past year exam
questions. Elaborate.
•
Compile notes, review key concepts, mistakes and do more past-year papers

Review key concepts, attempt more past-year papers, and look through past mistakes.
• These are some of the tried-and-tested methods educators urge students to use to ace their
year-end examinations
• with the exams around the corner, students are worried whether their preparations are enough.
• Closer to the exams, students usually feel there is much content to absorb. As a result of time
constraints, they are more stressed and this may affect their revision.“-Some may tend to talk
and joke less with one another. They also carry their notes with them when they are eating."
• students should compile summary notes for each subject in the form of lists or mind maps, and
review common mistakes made.
• "This will ensure that they do not later find themselves running out of time for revision, just before
their exams,“
• advise students to read out and write out some key points as they revise, for it helps to use at least
three of our senses together to digest certain key ideas."
• students to create their own notes, and to stay calm when answering questions that they may not
have come across.
• the way to prepare for exams is "practise, practise, practise".
Candidate C : In your opinion, one way is to revise and discuss with friends. Elaborate.

it's generally easier to spend a small amount of time each day revising over a long period than to try to cram in all
your revision the night before your exam.But different strategies work for different people. Some people find
concentrated revision suits them best. Some prefer to revise one subject entirely before proceeding with another
topic; others prefer to alternate revision between different subjects. As you become proficient at exams, you should
find a pattern that works for you. One good tip is to make revision a habit: treat it like a job and make yourself
revise between certain set times of the day whether you feel like it or not. No -one ever feels like revising, but if you
get into a routine where you always begin and end at the same time, you'll find it a whole lot easier. Another good
tip is to intersperse your revision with relaxing activities to stop your brain overloading. Go for walks, listen to
music, hang out with friends, play sports—whatever you like— as long as you understand the distinction between
break and distractions. \
Candidate D : In your opinion, one way is to make short notes. Elaborate.
