YOU’RE NOT STUPID: How to AVOID making SILLY MISTAKES in EXAMS that ruin your RESULTS

[@auroraa3570]

Damn the fact this came out just after I was reprimanding myself for silly mistakes in literally every test I have ever done and then scrolling through your vids is crazy. And YES changing answers last minute is almost always a bad idea. Thank you so much for making this.

[@SmileWithSola]

Glad you find the video useful! It's so annoying when you write the right answer then change it later because you're doubting yourself! Be sure to like, subscribe and share the video with friends :-)

my silly mistakes: - changing my first instinct answers - overcomplicating the question - not giving myself enough time to think and saying anything just for the sake of saying something - giving up in the middle of solving problems (physics, maths) thinking it's too hard - being insecure and stressed about the time so jumping to the next question before finishing the first one and so on - not giving my brain the time to figure out a clear structure to solve the problem and just starting to calculate whatever comes to my mind...not knowing where it's all going. - not focusing on what the examiner may want to hear / what he's aiming at - forgetting that I am in an exam situation, which leads to forgetting about the time limit and taking it easy until there's no time left and no more chance to show all the things that I've learned and the capacity of my thinking - not revising just before the exam - letting myself get out of the exam mode by distractions

Literally me as well

[@mikeyt2022]

Can't wait for this!! I make the dumbest mistakes in some of my exams but especially maths

[@christianhalstead1437]

Samee lol

[@chris-sq2tm]

maintaining your composure is the MOST IMPORTANT thing (at least for me)! i had a physics test, there was this BIG problem and i got overwhelmed so quickly. what i did was to answer the other small problems first and come back to the big problem. luckily i still had time to calm myself down, taking deep breaths and slowly analyse where my mistake is. i took my time CALMLY until a SUDDEN SNAP and realization hits!!! you don't know how happy i was that day.

[@Anathimsindo]

You are god sent❤️❤️❤️i have been procrastinating because this

[@abzthegeneral]

I also feel like highlighting key words while reading the question is important to ensure you have read the question fully

[@SmileWithSola]

Yup this is very important!

[@mehzgirl5044]

I remember I was so close today, to changing one of my answers in my Bio mock! Glad I went with my gut!

[@sanjlakhanpal5017]

The best video i have seen so far on this subject really good advice, thank you. Im trying to stop my 10 yr old making silly mistakes all the time

[@studytab2472]

My dumb mistakes: Not changing my answer when i know that i might be wrong Not trusting myself fully (i get overwhelmed when i hear everyone goth everything right and i dont know what i did) Not reading the question properly and only skimming through it Not following my practice and changing my mind last minute

[@Anicoplayz]

Can't wait!!!

[@christianhalstead1437]

Omgg samee

[@BossMbingado]

I actually got a low mark today and had to refer to this to gain some composure

[@ДарьяБрокер]

Guys, the best advice for not making silly mistakes and being confident in your knowledge is actually PRACTICING A LOT

[@mina6148]

Thanks so much for these videos 💕💕

[@saip0628]

if there are 3 months left till exams and you start revision now, do you think its too late to get all 9s? i love your channel thank you ❤

[@SmileWithSola]

Not at all, it’s still possible but you need to make sure you’re spending your time effectively and doing active revision. Especially exam papers and questions mostly from now on so you get the most exposure to diff questions😊

[@juventusfan4873]

I was also wondering a lot of people have said they went from 4s to 5s to 7-9 do you think thats possible since i got 4s and 5s in my mocks with little revision,can i achive those?

[@moey.188]

Yeah just start revising effectively 2 hours a day

[@juventusfan4873]

@@moey.188 thank you! by effectively do you mean active recall?

[@juventusfan4873]

people are telling me to work hard but how hard would i need to work for those grades(7-9) for subjetcs such as math and combined sciene?

[@hyxpnotiq957]

instead of commenting on every revision video known to man and watching it wasting time u dumb juventus fan jus go revise dnt bitch moan in comments

[@SmileWithSola]

There's no measure of 'how hard' you need to work. You just need to give it your all and do it. Asking people may give you some comfort but at the end of the day it all boils down to how much you can get into your brain and how much you practise before the exam.

[@juventusfan4873]

@@SmileWithSola thanks and thats so true!

[@kamertonaudiophileplayer847]

Do you have something like a check card? I can pull the card from a pocket for every question and then do check, check, check for every item I have to check. It will help tremendously.

[@AderinnolaPopoola-f4s]

Hi sola have been finding it difficult to start from a subject to read and also don't know where or how to start my studying from. I am having my gcse exams in a year and 2 months .

[@juventusfan4873]

how do i revise for combined science since i only have 3 months left to get those top grades?

@@ShejuJerusha yes...I actually have cleared my exams with good grades.. Thanks for asking 😊

[@Liamoconnor3143]

Would you say in maths, you need a 30cm ruler or would a 15cm ruler be ok?

[@SmileWithSola]

Try get a 30cm foldable ruler. 15 will most likely be enough for Maths but you might need longer than 15 if you're drawing graphs in a science for example.
