Well, we all know when studying for exams there are moments that we just give up and moments that we cram our asses off and hope that something sticks. I'm proud that I did my best for my television exam and that I can successfully say I didn't cram, lol. But no seriously guys, it is needed at times. **sigh**.
However, here today is our guest blogger: Charde Meyer, my best friend and someone who aspires to acheive the best in all that she does. I know most say we do our best, but question is do we really? Anyways. She's going to give a few top tips that she has picked up along the road to success and distinctions.
Hello, I cannot say how honoured I am to be apart of Christine's blog!!! This baby was actually my brain wave, but I will not take credit! I have to say, kudos to her though for making it work....
I cant believe however that she would want me to speak about exam tips! Really now?
Especially since our 'study sessions', end up being random searches on the internet! So that would be my first tip!
1. All of us love searching the net, for well, everything! So when the conventional ways of studying get you down, surf the net! There are likely 100 websites that can provide you with not only with the information you seek, but a new and better understanding as well!!!
2. This is something we are guilty of; cramming! And so I would suggest, do not cram! You put hoards of pressure on yourself to remember things, and end up not sleeping and then just forget! Not good! But, if you have to cram, because of your sucky exam timetable- make sure to take naps in between, studying for hours on end is unhealthy!
3. Find your method and stick to it!!! We are all individuals, and we all have different methods of studying. If you know that parrot style works for you, stick to that. If writing your pen's ink up is what helps you remember, continue writing! DO NOT USE UNKNOWN METHODS! Ones that particularly do not work are recording yourself and then listening to the recording. This is just laziness, and does not stimulate the brain or your memory. Writing, or reading makes use of sight, and you are more likely to remember the things you see- and not hear!
4. Lastly, since Chrisitine is complaining about my babbling, I would suggest, finding a happy place! This done not have to be an actual place, but study somewhere or around someone that you know will motivate you. I will not mention my happy place, because then this post will turn into a romance novel, but honestly surround yourself with inspiration! Good friends can be that too, because when the BCCC's study together, (they do not study), but those crucial minutes before we enter the exam venue, we all start rambling about what we remember, and yes, Im condracting myself about hearing stuff, but hearing Christine or Candice, use their fingers to 'count' what they remember, actually helps! Because one- I get to listen to them stress and yipee for a moment I forget that I know nothing and two- listening to them, instead of the stupid stressful voice in my head, actually helps me remember!!
I honestly hope these tips help, because instead of studying for an exam, I wrote this!!! So, heres hoping!
To all those reading this post, good luck with your exams! And remember, your mark is only as good your studying was!!
CIAO FOR NOW,
Charde!
