The Dos and Donts while studying for MKW1120
These are what I've learnt while studying for my Marketing Theory and Practice examination. Well, it is pretty a last minute thing as i have no choice but to draw in the nature of procratination. Here goes.
1. Never ever let your friends tell you what to study. Deal with your own instincts and your own judgement on what will be in your exam paper the next day!
Well, I have been calling up John, Ken (as usual, never would pick up my phone), Angel, smsing Karin and Allyson (never would want to sms me back)... the reason why i called and sms was to find out what are they studying... Since the lecturer and tutor said something about ..." you can choose the chapters/topic you want to study".... yep! Bingo, that make sense =) Asking what your friends' would likely study for the paper would increase tension and also shaken your nervous systems (somehow)
2. Procrastination may sometimes lead to success (well, can't prove this yet cause i may be too confident in a way).
Because of the rush that i am in to finish up my News Feature Writing assignment... i need to find a way to study 18 Chapters in 2 days... i wasted my time on the first day, which is de Saturday (23-10-04) and started building up pace on Sunday (24-10-04). Yep, if you guessed that i missed church, you are absolutely right. But i did not miss prayers... yes yes, i did miss the chance to have an indepth study on the Bible (feeling pretty guilty now). So i ended up studying marketing... Chapter1,2,3,10,and 11. Hrmm.... good choice though!
3. Never sleep when you don't remember what you've studied...
True, sleep does not matter when it comes to examination period. The more you sleep, the more tired you get and the more you can't seem to remember stuff (this, of cause, comes to my own evaluation of my studying habits before the exams) if you cant do what i did, then don't WAIT TILL THE LAST MINUTE!!
4. Giving credit to Eddie G., use at least 45 minutes to an hour to study the chapters that you intend to study. And when the 45 minutes or the one hour is up, and if you havent finish studying the chapters you are at, skip it and go to the next chapter... then when you have the time later at night, go back and study what you have not finished.
This works.... thanks!
5. During the hour before the exam, do keep in mind that reading or revising what you have studied may just leave you with a total headache. Whatever you do, relax and look at the bright side... for you Christians out there... Do have faith in God, you know He exists in your life
6. While in the examination hall, when you are given 10 minutes of reading time, do not READ, pray instead.... do not look left or right, just stare at the front page of the paper and start thinking of the nicest song you have ever heard in your life (Safri Duo!!....) and when the examiner say start... then, aha, it is time to catch up on the reading (not a wise choice, but i do that always :P).
7. Once you are done, don't go back to check what you have written, this will implant or increase tension in the atmosphere you are in... just go with the flow and say 'Thank God for your Grace upon me!' and stop feeling nervous of what you have written in your paper.
8. And finally... smile!!!!
Here you go folks, hope this helps... well for me it does.. remember... use your own judgement haha!!
