TIPS

“Obtaining knowledge on young hood is like to engrave on stone.”Safynat ul behar P : 680

• Making dua to Allah (swt) and waking up for tahjud prayer and salatul Fajar.

• Eat a healthy breakfast

• Being prepared with all of your materials.

• Starting with the name of Allah. This brings blessing, and seeking the help of Allah is one of the means of strength.

• Fear Allaah with regard to your classmates, and do not be affected by their anxiety or fear just before the exam, for anxiety is a contagious disease. Be optimistic.

• Making zikr repels anxiety and tension. If something is too difficult for you, then pray to Allah to make it easy for you. 

• Dont slouch. Period. 

• Look over the exam first. I've found it easier to complete the exam knowing what you have in it and what you are expected to answer. You some idea what you need to know and can dig up info from your brain at an earlier freshier time,

• Start by answering the easy questions which you know. Then move on to the questions which carry high marks, and leave till the end the questions to which you do not know the answers, or which you think will take a long time to produce an answer or which do not carry such high points.

• Take your time to answer and dont be haste for haste beings failures. The Prophet (swt) said: “Deliberation is from Allah and haste is from the Shaytaan.” (A hasan hadeeth. Saheeh al-Jaami, 3011).

• If it mcq's find out the answer yourself then look at the choices given. You might get confused by seeing so many answers and have a hard time differentiating which one is right. 

• In free answer exams- collect your thoughts and info before you start writing. making a rough outline for your answer ~may also help..

• Devote at least 10 minutes in reviewing your answers. Take your time in reviewing, especially in mathematical problems and writing numbers. Don't let the fact that other people have passed it in irritate you, Nor have a race to finish first. 

• If you find out that you have answered incorrectly, do not fall to frustration and despair. Remember the hadeeth of the Prophet (swt), “If anything befalls you, do not say, ‘If only I had done such and such.’ Rather say, ‘Qadar Allaah wa maa sha’a kaan (the decree of Allah and what He wills happened),’ for saying ‘if only’ opens the door for the Shaytaan.” (Saheeh Muslim)

If you find out that you aced- don't become proud and say its all cuz of you...rather everything is by the decree of Allah and remember all praise is Due to Allah. 

• 
  

“The strong believer is better and is more beloved to Allaah than the weak believer, although both are good. Strive to attain that which will benefit you and seek the help of Allaah, and do not feel helpless.” (Saheeh Muslim, hadeeth no. 2664)
