Passing examination is a success every student desire. There are several
methods available to passing examination. We are going to be talking about it
for some days as I will be dropping the hint one by one so the article will not
be too cumbersome for you to read. Absorbing knowledge efficiently is the first
step to having success in an examination. Here are the tips under Absorbing
Knowledge efficiently.
Pay attention in your classes.
Pay attention in your classes.
The best thing you can do to raise your exam scores is to pay
attention when you're supposed to be learning the material: in class! Letting
your mind wander or not showing up at all are both likely to make you miss out
on key information that will later appear on exam.
Take good notes.
This is important if you want to have an easier time studying later. Not
only will writing the information down as you learn it help you in absorbing
the information and paying attention, but you'll have a reference for when you
go to study later.
Do your homework.
Homework, such as assignments and at-home reading are where you will
find the rest of the information that will be on exam, so doing this homework
is important. Schedule time and set aside a quiet place just for homework to
help beat the procrastination blues.
Use
mnemonics and other tricks.
Various
memory tricks really can be useful for remembering certain things like numbers,
categories, and lists. Just make sure that you learn them correctly and don't
mix them up!
·
Mnemonics are phrases
which can help you remember the order of certain things. For example,
"King Paul Came Over For Great Songs" is a great way to remember the
biological classifications (Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus,
Species).
·
Another memory trick
is if you have to remember a string of numbers. Instead of trying to remember
2537610925, for example, break it up like a phone number: 253-761-0925. You can
break up dates this way too. 14 Oct 1066 (the Battle of Hastings) can become a
locker combination: 14-10-66.
