Introduction
I often find it very difficult to cope up with the huge stress. So, I must make some plans
that will help me to revise the subject with ease before the night of the exam. So, I need to make
a good revision plan so that I have the entire syllabus in my grip (Jain 2013).
Answer1
I have just a week in hand and the exam is due just in the upcoming week. So I have to
make some plans so that I can manage the syllabus and go through all the chapters in a very
systematic manner. One such subject that has a huge syllabus is English literature and one tough
job that I often face, is going through the dramas or the plays that are present in my syllabus. The
strategies that I may use are
 I will try to keep calm and do not fear the exam. I must make a routine or a revision plan
that will help them to proceed in a step by step manner.
 I have to calculate the number of days or the time that is left in my hands. It is according
to this plan that they will divide the work of revising the syllabus.
 As a drama or a play (for example a Shakespearean play Macbeth), has many acts and
scenes, I must go through the chapters thoroughly.
 This is followed by a second go through the session that will help me to delve deep into
the acts and each scene of the play. I will be reading the textbook thoroughly is one of the
most important parts of any revision plan. This will help me to develop a clear insight
into the story of the play.

 After this extensive reading, I can actually highlight and jot down those points that are
most important (that which contain some of the important quotes and notification) or
some important incidents as well.
 This method will help me to also jot down those parts of the pays that are difficult for
them to understand. So, they will have enough time on hand to consult with my peers or
with my teachers as well.
