Hey guys,
Yup, its that time of the year again which students (in my school at least) dread. Examination time. My finals are coming up in a month but before that we have prelims. Ya like one exam wasn't bad enough, we have to write two within a month and half's period. My prelims are going to start in a week and i haven't started serious studying. Yes, I did do my homework and learnt the few things the teachers asked us to, but not like sitting and studying sentence by sentence, word by word.
Luckily for us, our syllabus for the exams are not much. We only have our term two chapters. The teachers even keep asserting the fact that we're lucky by telling us how much they studied and how they used to burn the midnight oil. (My english teacher would be happy if she saw me use the idiom ;-)
I even find it pretty stupid that people think the only way to study is to sit six to seven hours at the table in front of your books. Only then will you gain knowledge. This is wrong and its only quantitative study and not qualitative. I rather study for an hour and half with full concentration. And I think breaks are very much needed when studying or else you will get saturated and won't be able to focus.
So, anyways I have to really hit the books now 'cause I only have a week left before my prelims.
And good luck to those who are taking any form of exam (especially myself ;-)
