Last minute

“…This is not about Midas touch, or luck. In fact, this is calculated risk. This is science. This is about STRATEGIC PICKING.

First, do not do unnecessary things before exam. I see some people like to bulldoze everything before they enter exam hall. Please, never do all the questions. If you want to do it, don’t do for the sake of exam, do it for your mum. Perhaps she will be proud of you that her children managed to sapu all questions before going for exam.

Next, think of who will be setting the questions and which area will be tested. Based on these two things, you can formulate your own way to score the highest marks. Normally, it will be (a) maximize your knowledge or (b) maximize your understanding. Of course, you can make a hybrid from both methods.

Pinpoint which topics you MUST understand well and spend more time on it. Don’t forget to revise on the important topics at least once before the exam. Remember, you have to take risks and smartly during exam. This is because you never study consistently. But, you control what you write during exam and therefore you make decisions during exam in order to maximize your marks.

Since you don’t understand well the chapter because you study last minute, you have to use your own smart way to answer. Never stick to your limited knowledge since you can’t absorb much at the last minute and you won’t understand well. Hence, you need to use what you have inside your brain to do whatever which you do not know.

This is just like building something. What you need are materials which means you have to choose the materials which can build anything. When they ask you to construct a weird building, you need to use what materials you possess and build whatever to satisfy them. Take some risks to select only certain materials that will be useful to you. This is the SPOTTING part. One engineer may buy all materials in the shop; some may only buy basic materials and some may select the most important only due to time and financial constrain.

But honestly, this is not safe at all….”
