Is an exam just an exam?

Some people will say 'it's just an exam, it's nothing to worry about' or 'it's just a small part in your life, it's not everything' or maybe 'it's not that important, just take it easy' but.... is it?  *please continue*

What does an exam gives us except stress? Yup, results. And what does one's result shows us? It shows us whether that person is clever? smart? hardworking? lazy? capable? Well, exam means literally everything in the Asian countries. In our mindset, exam results show us every single personality of a person. It decides your job, your salary, your life and Your future depends on your results. Good results = bright future. Bad results = no future, <--THAT'S NOT TRUE! Bad results = have to work much more harder for a guaranteed brighter future.

But what I can assure you is 'it's not the end of the world if you fail your exam.'

Tips to get over a bad/poor exam results and make a great comeback:
1. Be positive. Don't regret if u didn't study hard enough for the exam. If u did study hard but still couldn't get a good result, maybe your way of studying is not suitable.

2. Find a study method that suits yourself. Maybe memorizing is not your style, u can try to understand it by doing research. Surely u will somehow have a better understanding of it.

3. Work on your weaker subjects. Spend more time on the subjects that you're weak in, your effort will payoff.

4. Study consistently. Use some of your time for computer games to do revisions. Studying at the eleventh hour won't help.

5. Exercise. Outdoor activities keep your body healthy and your mind fit.

Bonus tips: Study smart while you study hard!

Always remember that IT'S NOT GOING TO BE THE END OF THE WORLD
