Skills for Life

Posted on July 17th, 2005 in Effective and Efficient |

I was taking up a few exams for the past few weeks, and happen to find that no matter how much time I put into it, the result was not really “pretty”… I am sure that there’s some skills that you will need to acquire in order to get better results in written tests.

Personally, I suck at written test, and was never a straight A’s student. The last time I got a straight A was in Form 3…hahaha…and after that, I guess my life’s been pretty much distracted and the grades starts to go haywire.

Maybe that’s one of the reasons why I took up the Film & Animation course, the grades are judged heavily on your projects rather than your written test.

Here’s some of the tips that I found while looking for the “Holy Grail” of studying to get better results. It contains some very useful information, especially if you are a student, and it’s also generic enough that you can apply some of the skills in other areas of your life.

There will be more exams coming up, and I hope I can really make use of these tips.

When we grow older, we will appreciate more in learning. During school life, most of us hate study, hate to attend classes and hate exams. Things changed after we enter the working environment, some of us might feel like want to take up some courses just to gain more knowledge. Some of us might regret that we do not hold the golden learning opportunities in school time.
How many of us actually care how to memorize notes, how to take lecture notes, how to manage your study time during the campus life? :-)
