Examination Techniques

“Education is what remains after one has forgotten everything he learned in school.” “Many of life’s failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up.” “Do not fear mistakes. You will know failure. Continue to reach out.” “By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.”

We are all indebted to our teachers. These are the teachers who taught us all the things we know and do today. Now you ask – who are these teachers? Teachers are the instructors, trainers, tutors, coaches, lecturers and professors from the kindergarten to the university. Teachers taught us how to read and write. They explained how to search for the logic behind every statement and argument. Teachers demonstrated to us in many ways how to approach problems and solve them. Whenever we make mistakes and commit errors, teachers always remind us that there is nothing to be ashamed of because we are still apprentices and not yet masters. Sometimes, when we are depressed our teachers are always there to motivate us with sweet words of encouragement They taught us that the world we live in is a planet which rotates and revolves. That on this planet there are two-legged, four-legged and multi-legged creatures. That human beings belong to the two-legged species and have many colors and languages

Always attend your classes. Attendance in class enhances the chance you'll get a passing grade in a course. In addition to attending class, it is important to brush up on your note-taking skills to really achieve optimum success. Some general recommendations for improving note-taking skills are to: Read all textbook material relevant to the topic being covered prior to attending class. Make sure you take notes in class. If you fail to take notes, much of what you learn from the lecture will be forgotten in a few days. If you have something written down on paper, you can always refer to the material later. Ask professors who lecture too fast if you can tape record their lecture. You'll generally find that many professors are willing to assist you in your efforts to gain as much from their lecture as possible. By attending class and utilizing the note-taking techniques just described, your chances for success in college will increase significantly. (Ref: Kiran Misra )
