There are just three things: plan, prioritise and manage your time.

All three work well together, so once you see your timetable, you need to start planning. Once you’ve planned, you need to prioritise by choosing what is more important and which one comes first so that you can plan for that earlier. Then, most importantly, manage your time wisely. Drink a lot of water because that will help you focus while studying.

Exams are hard and stressful. But I think it’s important to take a moment to breathe and to assess what you need to do. Avoid overthinking and don’t be intimidated by everything that you have to do. Take your time to assess your tasks and break them down into doable tasks.

Make sure you study hard, and good luck with your exams. Remember, it is a season of applying yourself to your work. If you are in seventh grade, you are planning to go to high school, and of course, it is also the season when those in grades 11 and 12 are applying to go to university. So please study hard and make all of us proud.

School is hard. But despite that, you should think of the bigger picture. Think of what you are doing it for. Think about why you are going to school and the qualifications that you are going to get at the end of the day. Finish your exams, and always think of the bigger picture.

All I can tell you is to plan ahead and to pray. Have faith in yourself and study hard. If you study hard and have faith in yourself, you are good to go. Put in 100% effort from your side.

Never give up; keep pushing. Make sure that you have read through all of your notes. Be sure to eat healthy and stay hydrated because it is important to stay healthy during this challenging time.
