I have just completed my first Exam
and it was a little difficult. But, managed to get through it with some
confidents. I did not expect the exam to be just some breeze, so when I
received the paper I was not surprised. I prepared for the exam in many ways. For
instance, by studying on my own, because that is how I learn more effectively.
Also, me and a few other class mates formed a study group the night before to
refresh our memories, so that when we would wake up the next morning on the day
for the Exam we would not be so rusty and nervous. One way that I would prepare
differently is by studying over the notes as much as I did on the vocabulary
that we were assigned. One of the things that was most difficult for me was the
fill in the blanks in the end of the packet, but overall the easiest part for
me would be the vocabulary in the beginning. If I were to give advice to a
youngster taking their first short answer / essay test, I would tell them to
study alone in a quiet place and to also use study groups with classmates to
get a different perspective. Most importantly some ways to relax yourself for an
Exam and to get the best results, is to not over study yourself where you
become exhausted. Also, get a goodnights rest and a good breakfast to keep you
alert and energized for the Exam. Nevertheless, the best way to unwind after
the Exam is to fill yourself with food and take a long resting nap.
I agree that the test was a little difficult due to the free response. Also, I can relate to you because I believe that the end of the exam was also difficult.
ReplyDeleteThe test was difficult as you said. I didn't think it would have been a breeze either. The vocabulary was the easiest part for me also.
ReplyDeleteGood word here: do not "over-study". That's right. If you plan your preparation ahead of time, you won't need to rush and "over-study". You can make the language of the course and the test part of your language. After all, that's the goal anyway.
ReplyDeleteOur study group was amazing and people should start doing that.Also I am definitely taking you advice in consideration.
ReplyDeleteThe test was a little , confusing and hard because of the free response. Very good advice to tell someone to study alone in a quiet room and even have a study group because that will help people to understand the information that was given. No one should never over study because that will tire you out.
