Exam…!!

🙂
So, my pre and post exam ramblings managed to creep into my blog!!(the former was already posted and the latter is being posted now!)

Well, Each one of them is an outlet…(Whenever I feel disturbed, I choose to pendown everything that comes to my mind); It also serves to motivate myself..(How can I do something when I dont like doing it?When I cannot escape writing an exam, why not try doing it with a smile on my face?!!)

Dont really understand the cause for my preexam sluggishness and postexam reactivation…unlike the classical preexam sharpness and postexam refractory period that I observe in most of the people around me!!

True!! I can read for many hours on ordinary days…But dont know why I waste hours together on the day before the exam! Reason, probably, is the way I read…

No matter how much I manage to read on the previous day, Finally, what I pen down in the exam would be what I had really assimilated all through the year but not what I read the previous day. I dont believe last day and last minute readings would have a significant effect on my performance. I read, ofcourse, but not with an aim to skim over every page and every line in a single day…I just go through specific topics that are yet to be read; or the topics which, I feel, need a second reading.

Also, I am expected to write down everything I know about a topic as an essay…and this makes me lose my senses.  Ask me anything about the subject, I can answer…but try making me prepare for writing the same–in an order, under suitable heads, with flowcharts and diagrams..etc., I cant help stopping my work. And thats what really happens to me before the exams. Finally, I look at the question and writedown everything I know…without bothering about the form it assumes or order it takes. Thats probably why I score better in viva than theory exams!! For obvious reasons, I never had any problem in getting through the exams, but never succeeded in reaching the top!! (All my entrance examinations were all of objective type…So, had no problem in cracking them with a satisfactory percentage!)

I dont say I hate exams or I am afraid of exams…I just feel a kind of incompleteness..dissatisfaction and disgust (may be because I am not sure if I could really do well)…which I dont like.

Afterall, I cant escape the phase of exams!

Anyway, It is all over now…I am back in routine!!
