1. What is the effective time management during an examination?
- During an exam, the first thing to do is to carefully read through all the
instructions and questions to understand the scope and requirements of the
exam. Allocate specific time limits for each section or question based on its
weightage and difficulty, prioritize answering the questions that are easy, and
leave more challenging ones for later. Avoid getting stuck on a single question for
too long, as it can eat up valuable time, and keep away from distractions. Finally,
make sure to allocate a few minutes at the end to review and revise the answers.
2. What preparations you will do before taking the exam?
- Before taking an exam, it is essential for me to make thorough preparations starting by reviewing
and organizing my study materials, including lecture notes, books, and other supplementary
resources. I create a study schedule to allocate dedicated time for each subject or topic, and to not
be confused on what should I study first. I also get sufficient rest the night before the exam, gather
all necessary supplies (such as pens and calculators) in advance to avoid forgetting important
things, and eat a healthy moderate meal on the day of the exam. I always ensure I have a clear
understanding of the exam logistics, such as the location, time, and any permitted materials or
rules to avoid being late.
3. How you could achieve your aims in memorizing?
- I can’t easily memorize information so to achieve my aims in memorizing, I employ some
strategies that are effective for me like chunking, acrostic, and repetition. I always begin by doing
the “chunking” , breaking down the information into smaller, manageable chunks especially when
there is a lot of information as this helps to organize the ideas which facilitates easier recall. Next, I
use acrostic, a mnemonic device, when I encounter steps or items that are need to be enumerated
by using the first letter of each word as a cue for the sentence. Lastly, by repeatedly reviewing and
practicing the chunks and acrostics, I reinforce my memory and make the overall memorization
process more efficient and effective.
4. How effective is your study habits? Give an example.
- My study habits are effective as I consistently employ strategies that optimize learning and
retention. For example, when preparing for an accounting exam, I start by creating a detailed study
plan that covers all the necessary topics as I break down the material into smaller sections and
allocate specific time slots for each. During my study sessions, I actively engage with the content by
taking notes, testing myself with flashcards and by answering some example problems on the book;
also making sure to review the material regularly to reinforce my understanding and commit it to
long-term memory. With this habits, I perform well on my exams and can demonstrate a strong
understanding of accounting principles.
