Hello Colleague,

Timothy Here Again,

As you get started with your exams today, I am very optimistic that you will definitely pass. NOTE: There are some little mistakes you must avoid before or during the exams.

As little as these mistakes are, they usually hunt several students and lead them astray. Although most of them are not new to you, re-emphasizing them won't cause any harm. They include the following:

*1. Revision*– please when having your revision, focus on topics you have read. Don't try to learn new topics because it will affect your flow and increase your level of anxiety. Instead, solve a mock test and revise previous years tough questions.

*2. Sound Health*– eat good food and ensure that you drink enough water. Do not eat meals that will make you feel sleepy in the exam hall.

*3. Flee from Negativity* Keep yourself away from all distraction and people who spread negativity. Avoid last-minute topic discussion if you want to avoid confusion.

*4) Good Sleep* Avoid taking coffee in the evening so that you can sleep well before the exam. At least 5 hours of sleep is great.

*5) Anxiety-* stop worrying about how tough paper might come or what question should come etc. Have trust in your preparation. Stop overthinking. Do not ask anyone how much they have prepared, it will just build your anxiety.

*6) Stay Calm-* After you have been allowed into the exam hall, calm yourself down. Pray to God and He will bring all you have read to your remembrance.

*7) Plan your time and start with the easy Questions* Solve questions that are easy for you first then proceed to the tough questions afterwards.

I will surely see your name on the PASS List, wishing you all the best.

Dedicated to Your September Exam Success,
Tim Jibodu, FCA
