8 things learnt from political science exam

1. Never ever try to cram all the concepts in in one day, it doesn't work and u end up being more confused.
2. Just concentrate on a few topics which u feel would come out and study hard for it(that is if u only have one day, if not, don't ever try it)
3. Just reading the notes get you nowhere, you have to read,understand, digest and be able to produce it even after closing the textbk(my biggest failure in studying, I never test myself to see how much I have actually remembered)
4. Waking up at 6 to study for my ps exam at9 didn't help at all, though I really concentrated. (again, this could be because of point 2)
5. Pay attention in lecture and tutorial( I always tend to switch off and give myself the excuse that I can always read the textbk and notes at home)
6. Ask and you will find out; question and you will understand(I tend to be very passive in tutorials, never querying, always accepting. Though I think that I never ask questions bec I don't even know what is going on.)
7. No use stressing yourself out in the exam hall if you cannot really answer the question, no matter how much you worry or panic, the answer won't come+ u will die younger.
8. No use blaming yourself for what has already happened, look ahead and learn from your mistakes, you can't turn back the clocks of time. You can only do your best to make sure the same thing doesn't happen again.


I am now a wiser person, I hope. And all you ppl out there, don't be like me. Someone said(can't remember who): "A stupid person learns from his own mistake, a smart person learns from other ppl's mistakes". I am not saying thats entirely through, but well.... I definitely hope that this will be a last lesson to me, that I would learn from my mistakes.
