Tip no 1 – Positive Thinking
ඔබ කැමති දෙය (උසස් පෙළ විභාගයෙන් සමත්වී විශ්ව විද්‍යාලයට යොමුවීම) කෙරෙහි අසීමිත විස්වාසයකින් යුතුව සිටී නම්, කෙසේ හෝ ඔබට එය ලබා ගත හැකිවේ. මේ සඳහා එම අරමුණ කෙරෙහි ඔබේ සිත දැඩි අධිෂ්ඨානයකින් යුතුව යොමු කොට එA සඳහා ක්‍රියාකාරී වන්න (අඛණ්ඩව පංතිවලට සහභාගි වී පාඩම් කටයුතුවල නියැලීම, කැපවීමකින් පාඩම් කිරීම සහ ප්‍රශ්නවලට පිලිතුරු සැපයිම ආදිය).

ඔබ පරාජය බලාපොරොත්තු වේනම් ඔබට පරාජය ලැබේ. ඔබ බලාපොරොත්තු වන්නේ සාර්ථකත්වය නම්, ඉබට නිසැකව සාර්ථකත්වයම ලැඛෙනු ඇත. මේ නිසා පරාජිත සිතුවිලි ඉවත ලා, ජයහ්‍රාහී මනසකින් (සුබවාදී සිතිවිලිවලින්) යුතුව නිතර ජීවත් වන්න.

Tip no 2 – How to improve your memory
මතක තබා ගැනීමේ හැකියාව වැඩි කරන ශිල්ප ක්‍රම

1. චිත්ත සිතුවම් සාදා ගැනීම : පාඩම් කරන ව්‍යුහවල දසුන් සිතෙහි මවා ගන්න. උදා- ජීවන චක්‍ර
2. කාන්ඩවලට ඛෙදාගන්න : විශාල කරුණු සහිත ලැයිස්තුවක් ඇත්නම් කාන්ඩවලට ඛෙදා ගැනීමෙන් මතක තබා ගත හැක.
උදා – සත්ත්ව පටක, අපිච්ඡද, සම්බන්ධක, පේශි හා ස්නායු පටකවලට ඛෙදීම.
3. නැවත නැවත මෙනෙහි කිරීම : කරුණු ටික කලකදී අමතක වන බැවින් නැවත නැවත බැලීමෙන් මතකය වැඩිවේ. කිහිප විටක් අදාල කරුණු කොලයක ලිවීම ද හොඳ ක්‍රමයකි.
4 තර්කානුකූලව එක් කරුණක් ඊලඟ කරුණට සම්භන්ධවන ආකාරය අවභෝධ කර ගන්න.
5 මතක තබා ගැනීමේ කෙටි ක්‍රම සාදා ගැනීම.

Four school children and three Jury members will participate 20th International Biology Olympiad held in Tsukuba, Japan from 12- 19 July 2009. International Biology Olympiad is an internationally conducted prestigious competition, in which bright students form countries all over the world compete for medals.

Institute of Biology, Sri Lanka holds National Biology Olympiad (SLBO) annually, in Collaboration with Sri Lankan Universities and Ministry of Education and students to participate in International Olympiad.  About 1800 students participated in SLBO 2008 competition, and based on the results of SLBO 2008, Udari Samarasiri and Maheshi Wijeyabandara from Vishaka Vidyalaya Colombo, Sameera Gamlath from Nalanda College Colombo and Sameera Erandaka Ariyarathna from Gampaha Bandaranayake  Vidyalaya,  will represent Sri Lanka in  International Biology Olympiad in Japan. Dr Hiran Amarasekera and Prof H G Nandadasa from University of Sri Jayewardeneprua and Prof M J S Wijeyaratne from University of Kelaniya also participate the completion as the Jury members.

The first International Olympiad was held in Eastern Europe in 1959 in Mathematics. The remaining disciplines quickly followed; Physics (1967), Chemistry (1968) and Informatics in (1989). Biology had its first Olympiad in 1990.

Some of the characteristics of the science Olympiads as compared with those for sports are that they are held annually and intended for secondary school students. The level of questions is above the standard for secondary school education in the world. The theoretical/practical questions are 5 hours long each which demands persistence and determination, as well as discipline. Gold medals are awarded not only to the top achiever but to the top 10% of participants. The Olympiad offers an opportunity for international exchange.
