Read the following extract of Mr Nobody and answer the questions that follow

I know a funny little man,

As quiet as a mouse,
Who does the mischief that is done
In everybodys house!
Theres no one ever sees his face,
And yet we all agree
That every plate we break was cracked
By Mr. Nobody.
Tis he who always tears our books,
Who leaves the door ajar,
He pulls the buttons from our shirts,
And scatters pins afar;
That squeaking door will always squeak,
For, prithee, dont you see,
We leave the oiling to be done
By Mr. Nobody.

Examinations can be stressful for most students. They are a part of a students life. Some students will
succeed excellently but some may just pass. Here are a few tips that students must follow in order to do well
in their examinations. It is vital for all students to be consistent in their studies. This will prevent them from
forgetting and losing important details. Students must revise what they have learnt to remember what they
have studied.
Students should study in a conducive environment. They should choose a place which is quiet and
peaceful that will enable them to concentrate better. It is advisable to stay away from things that distract them
such as computers, tablets, i-pads or even television.
Next, many excellent students have cited that they join a study group to obtain and maintain good
grades. This is a forum where they can share knowledge, exchange ideas and seek for help from their peers. If
this does not work for them, they should seek help from their teachers. The teachers are actually their best
references.
Lastly, one very important reminder for all students is never study at the last moment. It will only add
unnecessary pressure on them. Students might experience hypertension or mental blackout.
In a nutshell, success can be achieved if they practice the tips given and do not rely on pure luck.
