How to ace any school exam

       

 School exams are not designed to test competency. That, of course, is the intention of the instructor and that is what educators imagine they are doing.

        School exams are a game of small details. The student who can retrieve from memory the greatest number of small details gets the "A+." Once one realizes this fact, the rest is easy. Ask yourself, "What strategy will help me recover on cue the small details required by the instructor?"

  Here is one strategy to become an all "A" student that I used myself and recommend to others . I typed up a detailed outline of each chapter in the textbook, then threw away the book. If five chapters are to be covered on the next exam, then on a few pieces of paper, there were all the small details. Rather than thumbing through pages and pages of a textbook to find highlighted information, it was all there in a few sheets of self-made "Cliff Notes." Turning pages in a textbook to find details disrupts the student's focus. It is like trying to find a handful of needles in an academic haystack. A detailed outline puts the needles within easy reach in a thimble and throws away the haystack.

     I suppose we don't want to reveal this secret to everyone. Otherwise, everyone would be an all "A" student. How would we explain that to our supervisor?

    We wish you all good luck and all round success in your exams....
