Exam Tricks

Prior to Taking the Test

Pretest jitters are signs of not having prepared enough, so you must schedule plenty of time for reviewing.
the night before the test, see to it that you get a light supper and a good night rest. don't take exam with
full stomach, or with an empty stomach. And, late night cramming will defeat your purpose of getting a high grade
in the exam you much prepared.


On Multiple choice Exam:

1. Read the directions very carefully.
2. Go through the test and answer the entire questions you know
3. Go back and read the entire questions. Think of the anwer and read all the possible answers.
4. Narrow down your choice by crossing out the answers you know are wrong. Think of the most logical answer
for very difficult questions.
5. Do not change your answer unless you are cetain that you have replaced it with the correct one.
the first logical answer that comes in to your mind is 90% sure that it is correct most of the time.
6. You can look for clue in the questions. Sometimes, an answer might be hidden in a question.
7. for set of questions that requires you to read a paragraph, read all the questions first before reading the paragraph. it gives you less effort and will not need you to read and read it again brcause you already know the questions.


When it's not really the school that gives you success

"It's not how hard you work, it's how smart you work."

and so who thought that Many Pacquiao will be as rich as he is now? with the way he look,
who thought that he'll have a lot of product endorsements on TV? He didn't even finished high school. It's not the school that gives success. it's the way you use your talents/skills that will bring you to where you want in life. so why do we still need to go to school, spend 16-22 years of our gracious time in school, and follow all the rules and regulations that in the first place is hard for us to do? here's mine, whenever I go to school, i don't think on what i will get after. if it's money, there is room for that. School is a house of learning and not of money. before, i think the same way. but i never succeeded. though i am still a regular 3rd year nursing student here on where i am at now, i experienced such instances in life that i did work to send myself to school. it was way back in high school life. i never did grow as an ordinary high school student. perhaps a little bit but not at all. trying to send myself to send to school is one of the toughest things in life i have experienced. i experienced to be them, my parents.it's really hard. whenever i think again of those times, i can't help but cry.it's not just an attempt to send myself to school but i really did. it's one of the hardest and lowest point in our family. but i am much more prouder and a much more fulfilled person. Ok, let's go back to school. haha.personally, i really enjoy going to school. everyday, going to school with a smile on my face, i heartfully take challenges that are about to be given. i don't go to school because i have to but because i enjoy being there. i don't go there because i need to get a degree for me to work. i go there because i want to learn. i want to add something but will help me make it more easier to learn, and that's what the school does. I am not an intelligent student but i didn't lose hope with that. i tried so hard. it's a matter of trying hard and how smart you try. thoough i find it hard to express myself verbally because i am a left handed person (has something to do with the brocka's speech - a part of the brain), i still try. and i guess that's what is good to me. i am a very emotional person especially on letters. a blog really helped me to express more what i really feel to the world much more easier than expressing it verbally.


Trivia: i don't take reviews and don't even read school stuff books at home. i have this visual memory. i am a visually intelligent person. haha. if i saw pictures or whatever, i find it easier to retain it in my mind rather than being verbally intelligent. :)


"Don't be pissed off when you fail. take it as a challenge. success matters the way you perceive and take challenges in life that makes you a better person."


NEWSFLASH


last night, i received a phone call that made me cry inside. it's from Won-Jae (younger brother of my ex-gf). i asked him why he called. he said nothing. he and his mum just miss me visiting them. he asked me: "Tito, why aren't you visiting us here?" i told him that he wouldn't uderstand at his age even if i try to explain it to you. soon he will but maybe not now. i still feel that i am still accepted in their family. i ended the phone call by telling him that i still have something to do even if it's late at night. annyong! i hate it when i remember the days. *sighs*

When it's not really the school that gives you success -- nsa diskarte lang ng tao iyon...db...we do have the same pattern in reviewing for an exam or test...but there are times, i just keep on reading and reading my notes..not memorizing them but being familiar with it...

take care...

binasa ko parin yung sa tests, though i already know most of it. still interesting. regarding dun sa success, well it will always depend on the person's definition of success. It's always associated kasi with financial stability eh that's not always the case naman.. agree?

success is really not through working hard but working smart

kahit ako nung nag-aaral pa ako, di masyadong nagrereview, i tend to understand what i'm reading rather than memorizing them.

kaka-miss nga mag-aral, at ang sarap pumasok especially if cool ang mga classmates and prof!

sa MULTIPLE CHOICE.. lalu na kung math ung, usually nilalagay nila ung correct answer sa C or D kasi kapag sa A or B, may mga studyante na ginagamit ung mga choices isa isa para makita kung alin ung tamang sagot.. hehe ^_^

well take care and merry christmas!

How to Get Spectacular Grades from School

This article wasn't my idea actually. Here are just realizations of what's the best way to get good grades and how to have a full long-term memory rather than having a sensory motor or short-term memory. Advices are made by our very own writer from the Philippines, Ms. Jessica Zafra. Ewan ko ba kung natagpuan nya na ang tinitibok ng puso nya. haha. what i know is that matalino siya. start na tayo? Ok, ganito yan, to others, nagsisimula na ang kalbaryo ng buhay eskwela, to others sa june 13 pa. sa iba naman ewan ko. Since school year 2006-2007 has already begun, pressure to many students also come along. Hectic schedules, a lot of assignments, stupid projects and all causes insanity that ithers just freak then shout loudly to the class: "Ayaw ko na!!! I drop this subject! I can't stand you anymore!!!" In that case you will all need this good tips given by her. UNCUT VERSION (no add-ons) "How to get ridicoulously good grades in school and move on to a glorious

Summarizations

probably, this may be my last post for this month. i have a lot of requirements to submit and i have to meet all the requirements.and also the article that i have to finish for this month is started yet. but i'll still visit this everyday. you can see me online too on my ym account: gnomishwysard Message Everytime you wake up in the middle of your sleep, there's always this meaning. God wants to take to you. It's a magic that every 4.30am someone tries to wake me up. so surprised to find out that there is this "Christian" group who pray the rosary during that time. that thing is a prayer for world peace. but last tuesday, something weird happened. something made me wake up even when i have just slept for less than an hour. i was able to start the praying of the rosary. the Apostles Creed, one Our Father, 3 Hail Mary's, one Glory be, etc. i reached up to the 2nd mystery then unconsciously i have fallen asleep. I got a nightmare. the scene happened in front of t

Inspired. No. I am not in love. Let's just say that I got inspired with what my mother told me. They are actually creepy stories and I can't believe that my father will be able to do such thing when I was a child. Even though our set of businesses are starting to fall one by one, he still managed to provide everything that i want. If only I know what is happening that time, I should've not tolerated him. The story my mother told me made me cry and it gave me the determination to push even harder. I know they expected a lot from me about taking up a business-related course and i failed them. But i'll prove them wrong. I reserved something better for them. And won't fail them this time. Not even a little. I won't tell what that creepy story was. I just want to remember that i got inspired with what my mother told me. When I look at this entry after some long years, still, I will remember what that creepy story was. Love. In relation to the first part, I just real
