Well the end the first semester is here, exams, are upon us. One thing is you can’t prepare enough for exams, you always feel something is lacking. Often we party hard through out the semester, we bring you tips on maximising the exam period and avoiding retakes.
1. Plan well: regrets and procrastination on the time spent in Pana, Ambiance, Legends, Hive or wherever you party from, won’t help. Calm down and plan your reading time table in line with the exams timetable and read.
2.Extensions; the party animal needs to settle and read into the night, after your loud friends have gone to bed. Otherwise retakes are going to ambush you.
3. Know what revision tactic works for you… Is it personal revision in a quiet place or a discussion of two?
4.Avoid big discussion groups, those groups are for bookworms, you have not been reading, they won’t help you if you aren’t contributing instead, engage in personal revision.
5.Stay away social media. Deactivate your social media accounts or mute that WhatsApp group. The fact that nudes are trending isn’t examinable, most of the boys liking your status update have accumulated retakes don’t fall asleep victim.
6.Say no to Sex. Tell your girlfriend or boyfriend you are abstaining for the time being .Sex often drains the body and leaves the mind blank. Don’t engage in any sexual act, don’t even wank.
7.Attend tutorials; Nothing is rewarding as tutorials, they introduce you to what a particular lecturer requires of you in your answers and helps you appreciate the semester concepts in a single sitting.
8.Don’t Cheat, It’s an automatic road to the end of your academic career. Besides you could end up in jail. Since often police men are hired to handle the period. Read consistently, it’s never too late to grasp something.
9. Stay away from Alcohol. These are desperate times, alcohol won’t expand your content retention capacity, it will instead give you Dutch courage ,you might find yourself writing Business law in a statistics paper…
Peace.
