Hey guys, at the request of our dear cg leader, I have decided to put up this entry to help all the students who are taking exams. It is indeed stressful....but definitely we can come out of it victorious!!!
So the first thing that I did was to find out ...WHY WE FAIL..I msned a few of my friends ans ask then why did they fail their test and I realize the number one reason was....
Number 1: They just weren't prepared for it.....
Sounds so simple but yet so true...we failed because we fail to prepare for it. So here are a few tips that I am giving you guys, my "secret manual" muahahahaha....
TIPS 1: Study hard is study smart...
Ever had the experience where you?
- I spend hours studying, but so sian, nothing went in lo...
- I just keep writing the notes but I don't know what Im writing
- I studied but the things never came out...
Usually, you hear people say, "you need to study smarter" but I can tell you this..studying smarter is studying harder!!!
People who study smart do study very hard...just that they get maximum effect from whatever they are studying while others may not.
So then what is the smart way then????? I realize this "smart way" is a very cliche word without people actually telling one another what is smart. So here are the few things you can do.
a. What topics are to be tested
b. What are the important tips that you teacher gave but you never catch(good friends are very helpful here..especially studious and nerdy ones:p)
c. Ask your teachers, wait for them after lessons if neceesaary and ask them questions(Duh, they are the ones who set the paper, they can give you the most valuable tips, you just need to pester them...like the woman in the bible who pester the judge. Tust me, they will budge..)
d. find you what are your best topics,
e. Spot questions, but study everything. So that you will be able to answer everything that comes.
f. Test yourself constantly(Are you able to explain the science la, history la or anything without your textbook at your hand) If you can, you are pretty prepared. Because exam is not testing your understanding only...they are tesing if you still can understand without your textbook at hand.
Ok, that shall be all for today...I shall break it up into a few tips and not give everything one shot so that it will be more easier for you guys to read...:p
Cheers
Jacob
