Completing my first Exam

I have just completed my first Exam and it was a little difficult. But, managed to get through it with some confidents. I did not expect the exam to be just some breeze, so when I received the paper I was not surprised. I prepared for the exam in many ways. For instance, by studying on my own, because that is how I learn more effectively. Also, me and a few other class mates formed a study group the night before to refresh our memories, so that when we would wake up the next morning on the day for the Exam we would not be so rusty and nervous. One way that I would prepare differently is by studying over the notes as much as I did on the vocabulary that we were assigned. One of the things that was most difficult for me was the fill in the blanks in the end of the packet, but overall the easiest part for me would be the vocabulary in the beginning. If I were to give advice to a youngster taking their first short answer / essay test, I would tell them to study alone in a quiet place and to also use study groups with classmates to get a different perspective. Most importantly some ways to relax yourself for an Exam and to get the best results, is to not over study yourself where you become exhausted. Also, get a goodnights rest and a good breakfast to keep you alert and energized for the Exam. Nevertheless, the best way to unwind after the Exam is to fill yourself with food and take a long resting nap.
