A good way to pass an exam is to work hard every day in the year, You may fail in an exam if you are lazy for most of the year and then work hard only a few days before the exam. If you are taking an exam, don't only learn rules of　grammar (语法规则) . Try to read stories in English and speak in English whenever you can. A few days before the exam, you should start going to bed early. Do not stay up late at night to study and learn things. Before you start the exam, read carefully over the question paper. Try to understand the exact meaning of each question before you pick up your pen to write. When you have at last finished your exam, read over your answer. Correct any mistakes which you see and make sure that you have not missed anything out.
