This Crazy thing called EXAMS.

Dear Mayflowerians,

It was good to be back and it is amazing to see how much you have been impacted by the camp even after one month. The LIVE! Operation camp was one that had shown how resilient all of you were and how you could make a difference to each other. And there is no better time to apply it to life than what is going to happen next week. It’s the exams and many of you may be scared and others sian and still others excited. Do know that this is part of life and we will only live a greater life if we face up to the challenges that come our way. Come on its just a piece of paper and you will conquer it! So say WHOOSAY, hang your PSP in one corner and tell it : ILL BE BACK AFTER THE EXAMS! And let the exams be your PSP game that you will level up each time. So just do your best, believe that you can do it and put your self in a powerful state to conquer this thing we always love to hate!

MAYFLOWERIANS GIVE ME A WHOOSAY!

EXAMINATION TIPS

1) Study one chapter. Ask your friend study the other. And another friend another. Then discuss and compare notes! This way you no need to study everything and you get more value!

2) 80-20 Principle. 80 PER CENT of your notes is useless words like i and the and you and me. 20 is important words like CHEMICAL REACTION or ACIDIC or STAMFORD RAFFLES. Pick out the keywords and remember them!

3) Do breathing exercises. Inhale 5 seconds and inhale the good things in life. Exhale 5 seconds and exhale the negative stuff. Do it 10 times every morning.

4) Do success claps. The more you clap the more successful you’ll be. Okay this is just an energizer to keep you motivated!

5) Make your notes colourful and full of pictures. YOU WILL REMEMBER BETTER!

6) Use 10 minutes each time to TEXT your FRIENDS or play with your cat. Make sure these breaks last only 10 minutes. Remember DISCIPLINE is SOMETHING YOU DONT LIKE but REAP FUTURE REWARDS! So just set 10 minutes each time and obey the clock! Use this technique especially when your mind wanders cos when you WORK you WORK, when you PLAY you PLAY. THE 2 DONT MIX~!

7) Give 100 per cent. This might mean your day will look like this

EARLY MORNING – 10 PER CENT

LATE MORNING – 20 PER CENT

EARLY AFTERNOON – 0 PER CENT

LATE AFTERNOON -20 PER CENT

EARLY NIGHT -10 PER CENT

LATE NIGHT-40 PER CENT

Know when you energy is the highest and maximise it!!! Remember your mind and body is one. So know how to mix the 2 to produce incredible results!

8) Make INSPIRATIONAL POSTERS using DRAWING BLOCKS to MOTIVATE YOU! Paste it all around your room, places you can see-maybe the toilet even!

9) IF I CANT THEN I MUST. This is the law of de-procrastination. It is the very things that you dont want to do that you MUST DO NOW! Like learning and practising quadratic equations lah or chemistry formulas!

10) When life gets shaky, FOCUS ON YOUR OUTCOME.
