Part VI - To Do's
In this part, I will share to you some do's for you in preparation for the board exams, during the board exams and after the board exams.
It doesn't mean that you should follow everything but just some tips. Hihi 😆
And the mistakes that I did before, I will correct it here. Hahaha. 😂
KNOW YOURSELF.
Are you a morning person or a night owl? What time of the day your mind functions properly? Me, I'm a night owl. So I usually sleep at mornings or afternoons and wide awake at night so that's the time I study.
It's not helping if you are studying and you're mind is not in its condition.
And know in yourself too what studying environment you prefer the most. Some prefer staying outside dahil pag nasa bahay sila nakakatulogan nila ang pag-aaral.
But me, I stayed at home. Because staying outside is costly. I don't have money. Hahaha.
KNOW THE MOST EFFECTIVE STUDY TECHNIQUES FOR YOU.
I repeat FOR YOU! FOR YOU!
Because not everything your classmate does is also effective for you. He/She may prefer using highlighters, writing down while studying, or reading out loud while studying, but not for you or vice versa. Our minds function differently.
Some may remember they studied just by only reading it once or twice. But others can't. So if you're on the side of "can't" you better read your notes again and again and a lot of again.
Bes, huwag gaya-gaya bes. Dahil hindi siya nag-aaral, hindi ka na rin mag-aaral. Huwag ganun!
Naniniwala naman ako na walang taong bobo, lahat matalino pero iba-iba kasi tayo ng pamamaraan ng learning. Just know yours.
Possible studying techniques: (what I observed from others, I don't do this because you know I'm lazy HAHAHA 😂)
-using highlighters
-writing down notes
-reading it out loud
-writing down notes on a manila paper or cartolina and posting it on places where you can always see and READ it
-using different colors of papers or ballpens for each subject or words/lines/phrases
-question and answer (index cards)
(If you have some things to add on please let me know! 😉)
DISCIPLINE.
Make a schedule and you must FOLLOW it. (I wasn't able to accomplish this 😢ðŸ˜)
Schedule and plan out everything you need to do for a day and you must strictly discipline yourself to follow your schedule.
Pero dapat mas malaking oras ang pag-aaral sa schedule kaysa leisure time ha?! Haha.
REST.
You should rest. Our minds get tired too.
If you're already sleepy, take some time to rest, nap or sleep. It's useless if you're still pushing yourself to study but you're mind wants to shut off.
Don't deprive yourself too much.
Nagpi-Facebook pa rin ako, nagwa-Wattpad, nagki-Kdrama at Kpop din. Hindi din ako nagstop sa pagoorganize/volunteer sa Kpop events. Because these are the things that kept me sane.
Okay lang naman magFacebook o kung ano pang social media platforms ang trip mo. Basta KNOW YOUR LIMITS.
Ako hindi ko nacontrol ang self ko mas maraming oras nasasayang ko sa pag-iinternet kaysa sa pag-aaral. Kaya HUWAG GAYAHIN! HAHA
Pero if hindi talaga kaya better deactivate your social media accounts. Give your account/s to the person you trusted the most. Let him/her change your password. Hindi niya isasauli sa iyo ang account until hindi pa tapos ang exam. 😉
Part 1 lang muna ito. I will publish the continuation some other time. Thank you! 😉
