Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct
answer to each of the questions.
The stress and pressure of the exam situation can lead you to make some silly mistakes that cost you
precious points. Good exam technique can make the world of difference, and you can greatly improve your
marks by not falling into some common exam traps.
If you don‘t read a question carefully enough, your brain may trick you into thinking that the question is
asking you something that it‘s not – leading to you writing or choosing the completely wrong answer. The
essay you write might be sublime, but if it doesn‘t actually answer the question, your results will still be poor.
Read the question very carefully, and then read it one more time to be sure. To help you thoroughly absorb
exactly what the question is asking, you can circle or underline important words.
Many students find it sensible to handle difficult questions first, but this is generally a bad idea. If
you‘ve identified questions easy questions, do them first. When students begin with the difficult questions, they
may not answer them as well as the easier questions, therefore gaining fewer points. Moreover, they may end
up spending too long on them, meaning that they run out of time for answering the ones they could have got
more points from. So make sure you do not drop points from easy questions first, and then you can tackle
harder ones.
Multiple choice questions (MCQs) give you a limited number of answers. However, some students lose
points easily by not choosing any answer at all for questions that they don‘t know the answer to. You‘re not
going to lose marks for an incorrect answer, and the chances are one in four that you pick the right one, so you
should make a guess anyway. Moreover, you‘ll usually be able to eliminate answers that are clearly wrong,
which could narrow your choice down to one of two possible answers.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct
answer to each of the questions.
We all have our messy moments, whether it‘s forgetting to do the dishes or wash our clothes. However,
when intense disorganization is accompanied by symptoms of high stress, anxiety, burnout, or depression, it's
often an indicator that you may be struggling with your mental health.
It‘s no surprise that when declining mental health can lead to unorganised surroundings. The criteria for
depression include a diminished motivation and interest in activities, a slow-down of physical movement, loss
of energy, and indecisiveness—all things that would stop you from keeping your home clean. More
importantly, research often finds a correlation between mental wellness and clutter. For example, a 2016 study
from the University of New Mexico found that clutter directly interfered with participants' ability to feel
pleasure in a space.
Experts agree that tidy, organized spaces can improve mental health. A cared-for home can create a
whole cascade of mental health benefits, including a sense of clarity and control, an improved quality of life, a
boosted sense of confidence, and an increase in productivity. "Decluttering requires decision-making, emotion
regulation, prioritization, and patience," says Natalie Christine Dattilo, health psychologist at Harvard Medical
School. "We receive important cues about how we're doing by what we're doing. In the same way that a
cluttered space can make us feel anxious, a well-organized and tidy space can make us feel calm and safe."
That being said, cleaning is exhausting even when you are not mentally struggling, so how do we start?
Dattilo suggests setting small and doable clean-up goals. One great way to do this is to break a clean-up job
into smaller tasks (e.g. ―clean bookshelf‖ rather than ―clean bedroom‖) so that it feels less daunting. It is also
helpful to have simple organising systems, since it can be to think clearly when you‘re burned out. For example,
take note of the items you frequently misplace and decide a spot for each one – the keys can go on the small
hook by the door, and your phone can always be returned to your desk.
Finally, when you have finished cleaning up, take time to really celebrate your accomplishment. "Spend
time in your clean space," Dattilo says. "Let yourself enjoy it. When we take care of our home, we send an
important message to ourselves that we are worth the time and effort it takes and that we are deserving of a
comfortable and well-maintained living space."
