Introduction |
---|
An exam is a practice that aims at checking whether students or learners understood what they thought or a test of knowledge confirmations. So it is everyone's joy to see that they possess their examination. Individuals have different ways they prepare for an examination, some prefer to read and understand while others just read at a glance and will still right the examination and pass. Thanks to @simonnwigwe for organizing this interesting contest, it will go a long way to help steemian learn ways to prepare for exams and I also appreciate my friend @yakspeace for inviting me to participate.
How do you prepare for an examination? |
---|
I calm down and prepare for my examination whenever I am scheduled to write exams. I do take my time to read very well and make I meditate on every topic I read.
I use to take my time to read and prepare for my examination at all times. I am the type that easily understands when I read so it takes me less time to read my notes and understands. So for every exam, I make I schedule the reading materials into sections on how I am going to read them before the exams. I start with the broadest topic and then end with the most interesting topic.
I may get tired at some point, but I immediately get some rest whenever I am exhausted and continue when I am refreshed. For every bulky material I will be reading, I make sure I draft a summary for revision purposes.
I always calm myself down whenever I am preparing for exams, and I don't allow tension to override before or during the exams, I try to develop this courage and self-confidence that I can't do it, and that proclamation helps me a lot, self-confidence is the key to success.
Do you have any trick that you have developed over time that works perfectly for you? |
---|
Yes, I have some tricks, To help myself understand what I am reading and to prepare for exams, I forced myself to love the topic and developed much interest in what I am doing. I always enjoy reading and sometimes may even write a song and the lyrics will be the content of what I am reading about, so whenever my brain is tense to respond, I sing the song and regain the ideas back.
Another perfect trick is writing a self-set examination, I will set questions for myself and answer especially in areas I do not understand clearly. So in any way, if I get a little error, will just correct it and it sticks to my brain. I will rather make mistakes on a self-set examination than on a real examination.
I never joke it taking a summary after much and after a lot of reading it will be boring to read all through the bulky material again, I revised what I read in my summary note and it is very helpful.
When is your favorite time to study for an examination and why? |
---|
My favorite time for reading is in the daytime when I am gallant and all my body systems are ready to assimilate. But at that, I use to look for a very cool, calm, and quiet environment so that I can meditate very well.
The reason why I don't study at night is that I find it so difficult to cheat nature. The night is for sleeping😴 so I sleep at night and rest very well. Even though peels cannot stop me from sleeping at night, I will still sleep whenever I feel sleepy (I cannot come and kill myself abeg for anything😎).
I am a person that stands against cheating nature for other purposes, doing the right thing at the right time is very important, such as eating when it is time to eat good food, and I always sleep when it is time to sleep at all times. I bridge this rule only on a very serious condition.
Also, studying at the night gives a lot of tension, emerging you are having an Exam in the morning and you are studying the night before the exams or close, the fear of I don't know it all may affect us and once we are tense, we get to lose it all. So the best time to study is in the daytime.
Do you feel scared when going in for exams? How have you been able to control or fight this feeling? |
---|
I have never been scared going into the exams. I plan my schedule well and I as well prepare before I go into the examination. I know for sure that no matter how hard exams will be I will never lack what to write. I write what I know, and what I know is average to let me pass the exams.
Though there is no doubt that sometimes, you may get frightened with bad thoughts of "what if I fail" when I am faced with this, I motivate me and give me confidence that I will not fail.
What advice do you have to give to those who still find it difficult to prepare for an exam? |
---|
My advice is for them to develop much interest and love and passion for exams, the truth is that once you don't have interest in what you are doing, you will always be bored while doing it.
For instance, the guys can sit for two hours to watch a football match, and some can even sing the lyrics of a song that can contain more than 1000 wordings but will find it difficult to read and understand just a few word journals.
In conclusion, t is important to develop self-confidence, once you don't have confidence in yourself that you can pass a certain test or exam, you gonna find it difficult to prepare. I wish to invite @bensam2040 @m-fdo @deve-hanny to come and participate in this contest.
