How to Study a Week before your exams and get good grades

-


With these simple steps, I managed to ease my exam stress and was able to cover 90% of my syllabus.


1. Collect the materials required for the subject you want to study



2. Before you sit down to study, make sure that your desk is neat and organized.




3. Look at your syllabus. Analyse the texts which you find easy and comfortable to study



4. Pro tip: "Intelligently" cross off 2-3 texts that are either hard or not important from the examination point of view (this step works well if you have options in your question paper)



5. Now you have a self revised syllabus. Happy...



6. Make a list of topic/texts that you will cover in day 1


7. Next step is to set a timer for 50 minutes and start studying. Take breaks of 15 minutes or as you want.


                                                


8. If you get bored or feel sleepy watch a study vlog on Youtube 


9. Finally when you are famished with your studying and cramming...do some breathing exercises.



10. Penultimate step : As you lie on your bed to sleep do not use your phone...instead close your eyes and try to recollect what you had studied for the day. 




If you forget an important point or cannot get the exact sentence, try to rephrase it your own words. Now this step is actually annoying, but the best part is that the next day when you try to revise the portions, you feel confident. 


Pro tip : none


That's pretty much what I do every semester. 

All the best.

The Scholar Gipsy critical analysis

 The Scholar Gipsy analysis  "The Scholar Gipsy" by Matthew Arnold, revolves around the seventeenth-century Oxford story taken from philosopher Joseph Glanvil's The Vanity of Dogmatizing (1661). The poem is a take on the conflicts that prevailed in seventeenth-century Victorian Society. This period was a time of confusion and doubt. People grew more fascinated by the modern encroachments sprouting in their society. Developments in science questioned the very base of people's religious beliefs and many were put into a trance of scepticism. The publication of Charles Darwin’s monumental work ‘Origin of species’ released the Victorian conflict of ‘religion vs science Arnold has based this poem on a story from Glanvil’s work where he tells the tale of a poor Oxford scholar who left his University life and his studies behind to join a band of wandering gipsies. The Oxford Scholar is mesmerised by the wonders of mysticism practised by the gipsies and decides to learn every

The Beginning Drama originated in classical Greece. Athens, the cultural centre of Greece produced three genres of drama: Tragedy, Comedy, and Satyr. The famous dramatists of this time were Aeschylus, Sophocles and Euripides, and the comic writers Aristophanes and, from the late 4th century, Menander. From Greece, the drama entered the Roman empire. Three Dramatic Unities  The Greek and Roman critics recommended three dramatic unities which must be observed by a good dramatist. They are Unity of Time, Unity of Place, and Unity of Action. Unity of Time implies that the action in a play should not exceed the limit of twenty-four hours; Unity of Place means that the scene should not change too often from place to place, and the Unity of Action means that the Tragedy and Comedy should not be intermixed. Origin of English Drama The origin of the drama is deep-rooted in the religious predispositions of mankind. The same is the case not only with English drama but with dramas of other nations

                                    The Study of Poetry by Matthew Arnold Summary "Poetry attaches its emotion to the idea; the idea is the fact" - Arnold In his seminal work, the “Study of Poetry” Matthew Arnold opines that one should evaluate poetry by comparing and contrasting it with a piece from a high classic. According to Arnold, poetry is worthy of high destinies. We can notice in our society that many of the religions, principles, rules, creeds, and dogmas are all becoming questionable and broken over time. In the case of poetry too, many find it difficult to evaluate the true essence of good poetry. Arnold wanted to treat poetry as something worth higher value-capable of higher uses and called to higher destinies. He quotes lines from Wordsworth to define poetry, it is“the impassioned expression which is in the countenance of all science”; poetry is “the breath and finer spirit of all knowledge”. All our beliefs like religion and philosophy are but the shadows an
