Best Possible Exam Results - Ten Things to Do Before writing a Big Exam

What can you do right before a big test - let's say starting the
day before a big test -- to get the best possible exam results?
Even if you are already a great test-taker you're probably
looking for that extra edge to create the best possible scores
on your exams.

Here are ten things you can do to create better results on your
exams.

The Day Before -

1. Review Key Points -- Notice the word Review -- The day before your test is less than ideal to be first learning something.
Hopefully you have already mastered the material, and it is just
a matter of giving that material an extra polish.
2. Eat Well-balanced Meals -- Remember the phrase, You are what
you eat? Be sure to keep your body and your brain in peak
condition by feeding it the nutrients it needs to perform at its
best.

3. Feed Your Ruminator -- Whatever we spend time doing,
thinking, and seeing in the 45 minutes before falling asleep is
what our brains ruminate on throughout the night. So it's to
your advantage to feed it -- the things you want to remember for
the next day's exam.

4. Envisioning Your Success -- Just before you drift off to
sleep, create a picture of yourself successfully completing your
exam. It's most effective if you do it every night, but even one
day before your exam could make a significant difference in
creating better exam results.

5. Get A Good Night's Sleep -- You need your 7-8 hours of quality
sleep to perform at your best.

The Day Of --

6. Eat Your Breakfast -- Keep your body, mind and blood sugar in
balance.

7. Do Light Exercise -- Light exercise will help you feel good
and energized, and help get more oxygen to your brain.

8. Do A Light Review -- Glance through your exam preparation
materials one more time, and do any last minute checks you feel
you need.

9. Keep the Exam in Perspective - It's just a test, not the end
of life on this planet. Allow yourself to relax and let your
worries go.

10. Breathe -- A lot of students tense up, and forget to breathe,
or take shallow breaths. Be sure to breathe deeply from the
diaphragm. This will help your muscles feel better and will help
to clear your head and allow you to think better.

So the next time you are facing a big exam, follow these tips
and create great exam results!

Shantiniketan- The Abode of Learning

“The highest education is that which does not merely give us information but makes our life in harmony with all existence.”
- Rabindranath Tagore

More than 100 years of excellence is no mean achievement. And when the field is education it is also a noble one. ‘Bolpur’, a small town in West Bengal, holds the unique distinction of having this university of excellence, called Visva Bharti University, giving India many luminaries.

It all started with the person who gave two nations, India and Bangladesh their national anthems. The person was the first Indian to become a Noble laureate; the person, whom Mahatma Gandhi gave the title of ‘Gurudev’- Kabiguru Rabindranath Tagore.

In 1862, when Maharishi Debendranath Tagore, father of Rabindranath, was taking a boat ride, he came across a landscape of red soil and lush green paddy fields. Rows of palm grove and chhatim trees charmed him. He built a small house there and planted some saplings. Then it was called Bhubandanga, named after a local dacoit called Bhuban Dakat. Debendranath Tagore decided to call this place Shantiniketan after the serenity it brought to his soul. He turned it into a spiritual centre where people from all religions, castes and creed came and participated in meditation. In the year 1863, Debendranath Tagore established an ‘Ashram’ at that place and he himself became the initiator for the Brahmo Samaj. 


In the years to come Maharishi Debndranath’s son, Rabindranath went on to become one of the most formidable literary forces this nation had ever produced. However, Tagore was not content with his poetic and literary influence on this nation alone. He seriously wanted to nurture quality education for the people of India. For this noble purpose, he decided to open a school in 1901. He opened a school in Shantiniketan and called it Brahmachary Ashram. He gave an entirely new meaning to the word education. He took education system to the glorious old days of Gurukul system. The aim of this school was to blend the new Western and the traditional Eastern system of education.

In the words of Tagore, “Don't limit a child to your own learning, for he was born in another time.” He believed that children’s minds are extremely sensitive to the influences of the world around them. Their minds are always imbibing some lessons and they actually realize the joy of knowing. He believed that children’s minds are absolutely malleable and so it is easy to infuse them with knowledge so that they can attain greater heights in their life. He believed that children should be surrounded with nature which has an educational value of its own. So he established a school where the students would be free in spite of being in a school.

In his school students were not only imparted the everyday subjects but emphasis was also given on vocational education. It prepared the students for what lay out there in the future outside the realms of the school. Tagore himself had dropped out from school as he felt claustrophobic in the enclosure of four walls. He found his mind getting stuck in them. In that era it was a path breaking step in the arena of education for a country which was slowly getting hitched to the European mode of education in closed classes, where knowledge was only textual and exam oriented.

In the year 1913, Tagore was presented with the Noble Prize for literature for his book of poems ‘Geetanjali’. It not only enhanced India’s position but also upped the prestige of Shantiniketan. After this, in 1921, he converted the little school into a university and called it Visva Bharti- where the world makes a home in a nest is how Tagore chose to define the institution. Whereas the university gives degree courses in humanities, science and the more regular streams of knowledge, it on the other hand hones the latent talents in their students. Its art college, Kala Bhavan, is considered to be one of the best art colleges in the world. Tagore believed that, “In Art, man reveals himself and not his objects.” Although it has adapted to the changing times, the essence and ambience of the University is still maintained as Gurudev wanted it to be. Visva Bharti is a true reflection of our cultural heritage and what wonders education can do to society if taken on the right path.

Booming Education in South India say experts

Bangalore Dayananda Sagar Institutions Bangalore is spread over 29 hectares, has 10 schools in one campus and 8000 students in all. Educational scene in Bangalore is just a small example of how universities are developing rapidly in the south. Cities like Chennai, Hyderabad and Coimbatore are also witnessing a boom in education.

These cities have seen the ; privatization ; of education than ever before. Each institution has used a variety of schools run as demand grows. And the numbers speak for themselves. In a huge 260 Faculty of Engineering in Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, 216 and 120 in Karnataka.

"We've had a big boom, 300 institutions in the last one and half years. You should have heard that in nursing education. If we are the Silicon Valley of India, the government’s contribution to that has been just one engineering college in 50 years. The remaining is from private sector," spokesperson, consortium of medical, engineering and dental colleges, Dr S Kumar says.

One of the main reasons for a growing number of private universities is that very few universities in states like Bengal, Bihar and north-east. And when the need for a private group of students are met, there are very few places available for mature students. That's why they are in the south.

"About 45 per cent of students are non-Karnataka, from the rest of India and rest of world. This campus represents full India and the world. We see a mini-India in this campus," director, business strategy, Dayanand Sagar Institutions, R Janardhan says.

"Job prospects are good here, moreover in Assam, education facilities are not good. We have education facilities but higher education is simple and slow," an Assamese student, Trishita Borthakur says.

"It is not so easy to get a seat. I sat for an entrance test, scored well and got in," BMM student, Sonu Luniya adds.

However, states like Tamil Nadu have seen so many deemed universities that the business of education is taking its toll.

"Quality has definitely suffered. When you have such large numbers, quality will go down. I wouldn’t deny it," spokesperson, Dr S Kumar says.

There is no doubt that the proliferation of universities have their own quotas.
