5 secrets to getting high scores on the university entrance exam.

Stop attending extra classes and increase your study time at home; stop using social media and actively utilize online tutoring apps; exercise regularly and avoid staying up too late – these are things students should do immediately to confidently enter the upcoming 2016 National High School Graduation Examination and university entrance exams.

Stop attending extra classes immediately and increase your study time at home.

There are less than 4 months left for you to consolidate all the knowledge from the exam subjects and review areas where you are weak. Instead of spending 2-4 hours each day at tutoring centers and only getting 2-3 exercises corrected by teachers, you should spend more time studying at home. Self-study is 10 times more effective than tutoring; 90% of top-scoring and second-highest-scoring students each year share that they attended very few tutoring sessions and spent most of their time studying on their own.

About 1-2 months before the exam, you should prepare by solving past exam papers. Exam papers contain the most complete and comprehensive knowledge content, so practicing with past papers is the most effective way to prepare. Students will not only grasp the knowledge they have learned and fill in any gaps, but also learn techniques for answering questions quickly and accurately.

Temporarily suspend social media activity to help focus on studying.

Social media easily connects you with friends, but it also means disconnecting you from your studies. You're browsing, reading, and replying to comments while trying to concentrate on solving math problems? That's impossible. Remember, only stopping browsing Facebook and Instagram during class time will help you remember and achieve better academic results.

Download online tutoring apps to your phone.

To break the habit of constantly checking social media, you can download educational apps. These apps are easily available online and connect students with tutors nationwide. Furthermore, the availability of tutoring apps serves as a powerful reminder to focus on your studies.

Exercise regularly

Remember that the university entrance exam is just a 100-meter race, while life is a marathon. Don't stress too much. You need a reasonable study and lifestyle schedule to maintain good health and a positive mindset before the exam. Wake up at 6 am to study and go to bed early to adjust your biological clock to match the exam schedule. Study most intensely at 8 am, 2 pm, and 8 pm. Don't forget to dedicate about 30 minutes to exercise 2-3 times a week. Exercise can help regulate your mood and reduce stress and fatigue during this crucial period.

Don't stay up too late.

Many young people often think, "There are only a few months left, so I'll stay up late to have more time to study." However, this is a very wrong idea. Staying up late makes the body tired, the mind less clear, and memory worse. Ideally, if you study in the evening, you should only study between 7 PM and 11 PM at most. Reward yourself with a good night's sleep so your body can regenerate energy for the next day's study.
