3 years ago 2.0K Views

Dear Candidates,

The COVID-19 pandemic has facilitated lockdown in India and thus, put a full-stop to all the businesses, institutes, colleges, and other educational organizations. 

But, if you remain calm and maintain a positive mindset, you’ll see that it has also given you a rare opportunity in the form of ‘Extra Time’. Now, how you use this time, depends solely upon you.

It’s time to utilize this extra time to your studies and preparation rather than speculating the adverse effects it has caused to your life, routine, and the world. Well, you must stay aware of the happenings around the world- that’s the part of your studies too (General knowledge!!). What you must not do is- avoiding what you CAN do.

“Use what is available for you, because if you don’t, you’ll end up being one among the crowd” – it is the best way to achieve something and that’s the best advice you can ever get.

Ideas for Exam's Preparation During Covid-19 Lockdown

Here, I’m sharing some ideas about how you can utilize this quarantine time as a benefit to your studies-

1. Stay Positive 

One of the very first things you should do before committing yourself to studies is to- keep your calm and be grateful that you’re safe and sound amid this deadly pandemic. 

You should see this whole pandemic situation as an opportunity for your studies and take full advantage of it. Strengthen your weak topics and revise old topics.

You need to develop a hobby to spend your spare time such as cooking, reading, playing guitar, writing poetry, blogging, or likewise. Spending your energies in such things will get you a feeling of accomplishment and help in maintaining peace and keeping your spirits up.

2. Go Digital 


Well, while all coaching institutes being shut down, its time to go online and make online study your habit, for time being.

Online study is, nowadays, a very effective and efficient way of study so it would not be much of pain to snap out of your regular schedule, where you would go out to attend your classes, and dedicate yourself to online preparation. 

Examsbook is one such portal where you would find knowledge about day-to-day current affairs, mock test papers for various exams, and live test series

3. Follow a Proper Schedule

As we know that all of the exams have been postponed until further notice due to the Covid-19 lockdown, it is advisory for you to remain active as they can be announced as suddenly as they got canceled. You need to stay prepared for every situation.

Prepare a schedule such as your exam is being held next month only and if it really gets re-scheduled to the next month – which is not completely impossible considering the length to which the lockdown has been stretched- you would be at advantage, and if it's not, then again, you would be at advantage of extra time for revision.

4. Communicate and Socialize

It is very good to stay connected with your friends over social networking platforms to end your solitary days. And NO, you must not go out to socialize (Stay home, stay safe, remember!!) but half an hour or so on these social platforms can transform your mind, or good.

Of course, you shouldn’t waste your lingering over the ‘rumors’ and scrolling down the social platforms but staying in touch with your close-one can be beneficial for you.

Communicate with your friends, classmates, and teachers to solve your doubts and further guidance.

5. Stay Healthy

The very important tip to excel in your preparation is to stay healthy during this pandemic. Stay hygienic, wash your hands regularly, and stay home. Make your health your priority and eat healthy food. 

Few Parting Words:

A fine strategy, hard-work, and time-management skills will definitely get you success. You just have enough dedication towards studies that won’t let you quit in any condition. Failures are an important part of the journey that, apparently, leads you towards your destination.

I hope these few tips will be useful in your exam preparation. For further assistance, reach out to us in the commenting section.
