Okay recently I just finished my final exam. That means, HOLIDAYS!!! Yay! Also working part time because I'm broke af.
Soooo, my classmates always ask me, "Mia, I never see you study yet you score in exams, howww????" also "Eleh Mia you dont study also score for sure!!" things like that la, I think you get the point. I'm not trying to compliment myself or what but I really want to share some tips on how to score without working your ass off.
I don't know if this tips works on you because different people have different ways to study but I think it's worth a try.
1.
IT STARTS IN THE CLASSROOM
I think this is the hardest for everyone to do. You have no other choice but to focus in class.
DO NOT miss class unnecessarily. Maybe you can give yourself a quota of missing
maximum 5 classes per semester. Write notes in class,
don't be lazy and wait for lecturer's notes or slides. I'll elaborate more on how to make notes on the future post. If you have to, put your phone in your bag or just put it on silent mode. Your phone is your biggest distraction in class. Your second biggest distraction would be your friends. Avoid sitting with friends who love to talk in class. They'll just drag you down with them. You can always talk after class. Save it for later.
2.
DO QUESTIONS
I cannot stress more on this. Especially when you're learning accounting like me, you'll really learn and understand something when you do questions. When you're doing questions, DO NOT refer to the answers. It's not an exam, why should you be scared when you make mistakes? In my opinion, I am more delighted to make mistakes rather than be correct, That means I am learning, if I get all correct in certain topics I'd assume that I already mastered that topic and I don't have to focus on it that much.
By doing questions you can really identify where you're weak at and where you need improvement.
3. UNDERSTAND EVERYTHING
Do not move on from a chapter without fully understanding what it was all about. There's no such thing as "it's okay i'll try to undertand it
later" I swear to god that your
later really means 'one day before exam'. Dont postpone it, do it right when you're learning it. Ask your lecturers, friends or just simply refer to the textbook or the internet.
