The inconvenient truth about exams...

Exams have been a norm in our live. It started when we were still in the kindergarten until now.
However the length of break for each exams differ from one another, getting shorter and shorter. For the argument sake, lets only consider the major exams in our live [ or for some of us who studied in Malaysia ]

Ujian Penilaian Seragam Rendah, UPSR : Standard 1 - 6. So a total of 6 years
Penilaian Menengah Rendah, PMR : Form 1 - 3. A total of 3 years
Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia, SPM : Form 4 - 5. A total of 2 years
South Australia Matriculation, SAM : ... 1 year....

And now in University, every 6 months...

Aiyo...

These exams are really tiring..
And after a few months of break, new sem will start and we will learn new things .
I am not sure that my brain could memorize or at least recall the last materials. As my chemistry teacher, Pn. Irene [nama sebenar] said, when we learn new things, new dandrites will form in our brain, overlapping the previous one. And when this occur, we will forget the things we learn before. To ensure that it stays, we should revise it within 24 hours upon learning it, then read it back after 48 hours, 72 hours and so on. Practice this, and u will (Insya Allah) remember more things .( hehehe...teringat pasal the Aha moment..for those who tak tau..sile rujuk my last post )

One last thing, I think for my future post, I will write it in Bahasa Melayu la...

hehehe..

owh owh..
As I usually end my post, the moral of the story is we should stay rajin 24/7 . Although it sounds ridiculous, but that is our job as students. This is the inconvenient truth about exams.
