PASSAGE 1
Students today have to sit for exam. Studying for exams is
The inevitable part of a students life. Some students study regularly
and systematic. Others do it in fits and starts, before finally cramming
at the last minute, causing them unnecessary stress.
Heres the great study tip. When you study or read, write
brief notes on important points on the margin. It would be good if you
could write a summary of some chapter. Writing the notes in your own
way means that you have understood what you has read or studied.
If you have managed to summarise all the chapters, then
there is no need to reread everything after the exam. Looking at your
summaries will help you recall which you have read as you cant
possibly memorise every detail. However, if you are able to writing a
summary, it means you have a good grasp of the topic. Thus, you will
most likely be able to answered the exam questions well. All the best!
