How to study for EXAM!

It has been veeeerrryyy long time since my last post!
My school days had been very busy and even next week, we will have our final examination week...
TT__TT
Yeah, that means I will rarely post on December too but, I will try to do so ^^

But no worry! For today, I have these amazing tips on how you can study and pass your exams! (By not cheating though LoL)

So you need to follow these 6 rules to get a good or even a perfect mark!

1. SLEEP WELL
You will need to sleep well before exams! Of course you will spend the night before the exams reviewing or studying, but you should have enough sleep! For the best condition, you should sleep for at least 8 hours! So at 9pm, you should have stop studying or reviewing your subjects, and give your brain a break!
And, you will not get sleepy for the test!

2. WATER
Hydrate yourself every time! Water is good for your health, and helps you concentrate! Stay away from foods! Except if it is time for lunch or dinner, or if you have stomach problems, don't eat snacks while you are studying. It will reduce your concentration. So whenever you feel for a snack, just grab a bottle of water and hydrate yourself!

3. STICKIES and HIGHLIGHTER
When you review and prepare for your test, always prepare some stickies and highlighter in case if you find any important formula or dates or names that you cannot remember, a stickies can help you list those important thing! (Of course not to bring the stickies into your test room!) Or, you can highlight the test on your book. Use different kinds of colors. Expert says that colors will be memorized well than just a plain black and white!

4. GADGETS
Cellphone, Blackberries, iPhones, Tabs, iPads, Laptops, is a no no for study! Yes, some of you might open laptops or cellphones for the reason of researching or downloading the materials for the test. But other than that, no gadgets should be in the same room with you, as you study. Electromagnetic waves can harm your brain working. In other hand, emails, message, and anything else will easily distract you! So put away those gadgets for a while.

5. TIME
Timing plays a very important role on tests! Don't study all the materials for the test the night before! Study your material little by little, and only review your material the night before the test!  Also, don't study and read too much. If you want the best result, don't take 3 hours of leaning straight away. Give yourself a break every 40 to 60 minutes for 5 minutes, and then get back to work! Your brain needs some time to absorb all of those materials you have read.

6. LEARN it YOUR way!
So not all people have the same method of learning!
Here are 3 types of person and do's and don’ts for each and every type.

Kinetics : people who done their best by doing!
DO : study by practicing, doing the problems!
DON'T : study by sitting for hours!

Audio : people who done their best by listening!
DO : study in a quiet room, read it out loud!
DON'T : study with some friends! Audios should spend more time alone studying!

Visual : people who done their best by seeing!
DO : colorize your text and test materials!
DON'T : study in a room with much crowd!

So that's my 6 ways to study for exams. I hope it works for you guys, because it worked for me! So let me know if you have any question and how you prepare your exams

"to UNLOCK your SUCCESS,

you'll need your

KEY of PRACTICE!"

TT___TT
But at least I'm back!!! yeayy
I'm going to talk about something really special for me..

Yes, It's the night art of my school!
the theme is NUSA ASMARALAYA
I knew what u guys think if u have read this post :

REJECTION

Nusa Asmaralaya means the diversity of Indonesian Culture, All cultude from different part of Indonesia are combined and become one this night, like BOROBUDUR temple, PRAMBANAN temple, house of TORAJA, Indonesian WAYANG (shadow puppet),  and many other things.

the special thing for me, is because I can work behind the curtain. It's so much better to do. because I like graphic design, and busyness LOL
I've done the logo, the ticket, the backdrop, and so many more!
I know that job is a small and invisible job, but I'm proud of myself because if I did not do it, there will be a total chaos. LOL

"SMALL things

can make a

BIG difference"

so anyway, I am looking forward of what u guys think...

Stay tuned for the Road to NUSA ASMARALAYA series

Learning by EXPERIENCE

Being one of the mentors of SMAK 1’s early orientation program was like the cherry on top of a sundae. Because my holyday was not that interesting – unless watching TV and lying on a sofa is something you don’t do everyday, so meeting new freshmen students is something special for me.

Not like other school, being the mentor in SMAK 1 had to be very kind and outgoing and not military-based-like boot camp or something like that. Instead of yelling at someone’s face, we are likely to be their friend, that’s what I’ve learned. Because when the freshmen found themselves sad, or needing someone to talk to, we should be around because most of the time, they really need us after those (boring) disciplinary session with 2 of our teacher acting as what we called “CHIEF”. One person of my group of 12 shares what she feels after those cuh-ray-zee session and spine-torturing session for being very tired and hating the “CHIEF”. Even though most of the freshmen thought and laugh on one of the “CHIEF” – chief Lusi, for never showing her teeth (a.k.a smile or laugh) in session, I deeply knew there was still something scoring their feeling. So that’s when I came in. making them feel better, and calm them down.

“Something deeply hurtful, joking about it, still, a tiny part still will be hurt.”

And then came the big night, the last session with Ibu Cecil, and Pa Richmon, where most of the freshmen let go their ugly and hurtful thought of the disciplinary session. The entire mentor helped everyone releasing their feeling by praying of them one by one. Another great and amazing experience especially when God hand’s work on everyone.

“Making people behave better is good. But making people THINK that they were special is uh-may-zing….”

The last session would be the mentor’s creativity night. After all we’ve been through together, nothing could end those cherish moments together like the best-crazy-amazing-lame-unforgettable-freaky-creative-fun-funny-show by the entire mentor.

“Laughter is the best medicine after every bad situation.”
