Examine in a smarter way by adjusting your schedule to the curriculum and exams of Tunisia. 25-30 min sessions with 5 minutes breaks (Pomodoro), followed by a more extended break after every four rounds. In sciences and math, instead of rereading, you can use active recall, i.e., close the book and answer past-paper questions in tronc commun and your field of expertise and then go through the mistakes. In the case of languages, mix Arabic, French, and English language practice every day and read short articles, summarize and record yourself to notice mistakes in pronunciation and grammar.
Create a weekly plan, which resembles exam forms. When your school examinations include multiple choice and handwritten essays, divide your practice time between time-limited MCQs and handwritten notes. Make a one-paged cheat sheet on each topic, with formulas, dates, definitions, etc; repeat the process every week by re-writing the cheat sheet by heart, which reinforces memorization. In the case of STEM, intermingle (algebra, physics, then chemistry) rather than memorize a subject got to know how to do it right, not just repeat it.
Apply instruments that are localized. Download previous exams and correctifs when they are available, store them in folders by subject and year and monitor weak areas in a simple spreadsheet. The structure of study groups is best described as follows: assignment of problems beforehand, meeting to explain how to solve a problem and rotating the teacher-explainer-exposed-gap fast. Conserve energy by maintaining a regular sleep, hydration and a brisk walk following prolonged sitting; retention is poor when one is fatigued, and therefore exercise before memorization.
Lastly, test under examination conditions. Sit and take 4560 minutes without your phone, answer by writing and marking with a clear rubric. Minor, daily victories are superior to weekend marathons- plan, practice, review, repeat.
