How parents help their children in exam preparation

Exams are one of the pivotal things in the life of any student as it acts as the stepping stone for their future. Not only do good results in the exams help the student secure seats in a stream of their choice, but are the true test of merit, and successful accomplishments of the exam boosts the confidence of the students, help them secure scholarships and can be a determining factor in making important career choices. It is for this reason schools and families put a lot of pressure on students preparing for their exams. However, instead of putting additional pressure on the students there is a lot that parents can do to motivate their children and help them prepare for the exams.

1.     Avoid putting too much pressure on the children. During the exams, the students have to deal with immense pressure with a large number of students competing for limited seats. At this point, it is important for parents to be aware of all stress factors in the life of the students and avoid setting unrealistic targets for them. Parents should offer gentle encouragement and motivate their children to work as hard as possible without succumbing the pressure.

 2.     Paying attention to their nutrition, exercise and sleep. Many students get so busy in their study schedule, that eating and sleeping on time take a back seat. Parents can encourage them to switch to fruits and juices if they can’t bring themselves to eat a full meal. Another key thing that parents can do is to ensure that the children step away from their books for a small walk or stroll at least once a day. This ensures that the students get some fresh air and some exercise which will boost memory and brain function.

 3.     Helping your child to prepare a timetable. This is the most efficient way to crack all the exams in the student’s life. While appearing for the board exams, there are so many elements to a child day. From revision, memorizing, writing papers to ensure there is time kept aside for rest and recreation. To ensure that each day is balanced and yet helps the children meet their study targets, parents can help their students to create a daily timetable.

 4.     The day of the exam is crucial – not only before the exam but also after the exam. It is therefore important to spend some time after every exam understanding how that particular paper went and calming the student down if the exam was particularly hard. Parents can also use this time to encourage their students for the next exam and giving them a much-needed pat on the back.
