STUDENTS LIFE STYLE AND STRUGGLES (EXAMINATION)
Hello everyone your welcome to my blog today, its your favorite girl again. Your support and opinion is highly appreciated
Examination period in school is always the hard part of school that students dread whenever it is approaching, for those who know what they have being doing within the semester it a time of evaluation and to the unserious fellows who have not be attending classes and writing their test and getting their text books and handouts ,it is a time for them to be on the edge and under pressure to read everything at once and that causes 11th hour preparation. This is when you see students try to do memorize everything within a short period of time.
Well I have graduated but I will still share my experience here on how I managed to deal with exam stress , am one of those students who always attends lectures every day and on time but that doesn’t stop exam periods from being chaotic for me there is a lot that comes with exams periods ,its not easy on the lectures and the students either. The lecturers on their own try their best to complete their lectures with their students and then leave them to read and revise their previous work in preparation for their upcoming exams.
Exams make me feel nervous, pressured and challenged because it always comes with hunger as the food the students automatically finish as the exam period approaches. Yes indeed it can be too much pressure as certain courses which are paired together are very hard to understand and write on the same , the pressure of trying to balance everything out can be over bearing for the students there by putting fear in the students , speaking out of experience there were times I heard 3 difficult courses on the same I know how I battle with sleep to stay awake and read to make sure I’m satisfied with myself that I can comfortably go into the exam whole and write well.
My personal technique that helps me in the preparations of my exams are I had personal reading groups with a couple of my friends and we always go through our lecture notes and text books, we do this by splitting the topics amongst ourselves and after we do a group discussion and talk about our various topics and then we set questions and answer them amongst ourselves. Also, I always go through my notes, pdfs and textbooks at the end of every week as this has been a habit snice secondary school day.
I don’t have food preferences during exam periods, that’s not even because that’s when the real hardship in school begins to show itself you barely see food to eat not to talk of having choices to eat special diets to boost your brain the more. Yes, I do take breaks during the day and at night too to wake up and read later I always set my alarm to be time conscious.
Exams are always tough but the main reason why we are sent to school is so we can gain knowledge and the evaluation to test our knowledge comes in form of examination so let’s always be prepared. Students who are still in school learn how to handle exam pressure by studying beforehand not just when exams are near and as you all know manage your food stuffs well for the rainy days.
My appreciation goes out to hive students for this weekly prompt sharing my experience with examinations as a student. Cheers to a greater future of hive students.
thank you for stopping by my blog today.
I forgot the part of hunger during exam period. Exam period is towards the end of the semester and most of us were always with our last little money to survive the period
Exactly I experienced that almost all the time because I was living in school but thank God we survived.
I was very lucky, I went to school from home, so I didn't experience that examination period hunger but I have heard a lot of people talk about it.
Holding a group reading is a good one, being the leader is also an advantage as it will compel you to study ahead inorder to be of help to your team. The question and answers too is a plus some times luckily you see the same questions in the exam
Your lucky you schooled from home and didn't get to experience that comes during exam period.
The group reading helped alot as you wouldn't want to flop in front of your colleagues so you would be motivated to read harder, and yes being the group leader is also an added advantage just like you said it will make you to be more serious.
That group reading helps a lot. I wasn't much a fan of it but I saw a group of people that faced examination with boldness because of this group reading and brainstorming
I must say the reading group helped alot because sometimes certain topics are explained better and are more understood, and some of the questions we ask each other at the end of the session in the group comes up in the exam sometimes and we all write with joy in our heart
I'm glad to know that reading groups with friends works well for you. But for me it doesn't. I find it hard reading in groups with friends and mates alongside the fact that irrelevant discussions tend to pop up during the study time.
How my day went usually determines my ability to read at nights. A stressful day would cause me to doze off if I intend to read at night and because of this, I try as much as possible to read more during the day.
Yes, those who prepare ahead of exams know how to handle the pressure that comes with it, and they are fine.
Thank you
Reading groups and time management are very great tools. Even though I personally do not fancy it, I Prefer my time alone😁. And it's not as if I know it all, not at all, I ask questions when needed as well....
Thanks a lot for sharing.
🥰❤️🥰
Yes some people prefer their time alone thank you for stopping by.
Very much welcome.
I guess group reading works for some people, for me it doesn't. I get easily distracted by anything, especially noise. I prefer to read alone in a quiet space but when I'm done reading, I can now decide to engage in group discussion to test what I have learnt or oppress others with it 😅
Abi you get the point is the oppress others with it for me😂.
Thank you for stopping by.
