EXAM PREPARATION- UNWOO

As this weekend blogging topic is the Exam preparation, I thought how I prepare for the Exam. Last week, I had a three exam which were ENL, CHI, and MAT. I did my best. I put lots of time before the Exam. For ENL, I memorized the entire vocabulary list and reviewed seven chapter of the grammar. ENL class is not hard class. So I got good grade for the class. Also, for MAT class, I had learned every single part in the middle school. So I had no problem to study MAT. However, the problem occurred from CHI. As I never learned the CHI, I had a many problem to study CHI. Too much things to memorize, study, and understanding. I could not get a focus what we learning. So, I just memorize and study all the material. This way made me tired. I spent three hour to study each chapter. Even thought I spent all my weekend, I could not finish. I felt upset. I thought that something wrong about my Exam preparation. After one week, my first exam for ECN is coming up. I am really ‘afraid’ of studying ECN. I should study and review eight chapters. It is more than CHI. Fortunately, I have enough time to study everything. However, I want to study ECN efficiently. I read a text book which is chapter 8. I noticed that I missed many things to prepare the Exam. The reason I got panic on the Exam is that my Exam preparation for the test has have many problem for the perfect score. As I want more efficient way to prepare for the Exam, copying the ways and skills to prepare for the Exam on CLS text book is the best way to get better grade on the ECN test.

First of all, I did not know that Organizing is important to prepare the Exam. Before the Exam, I always organize only my note not profiling, source outline, and topic outline. However, According to the book, Organizing includes knowing what information or topics will be covered on the test, the format of the test, and the sources that the professor expects you to use to learn the material. Actually, I do not think this is not a good way to prepare for the ECN test. I really want to skip this part. However, as I promise to do everything on the textbook, I tried for my more efficient preparation.









According to the Exam Experiment guide line, for the Before Exam profile, it should be honest.


After I finished Exam profile, I knew that the problem of my preparation skill. My inefficient study skill and unfocused sight what we learn caused problem had made me to prepare the Exam not perfectly.












According to the Exam Experiment guide line, for the source outline, titles, heading, lecture, and notes by date on each chapter should be included for the good source outline.




According to the Exam Experiment guide line, for the topic outline, specific topic, source, information, chapter, and dates on each chapter should be included for the good topic outline.




After I finished source outline and topic outline, I noticed that I really focus what we learned and what I should study on this Exam. Exact date, notes, homework, and presentation about each chapter help me to organize perfectly before starting to study ECN exam. I think I already ready for the test. Based on this outline, I can get more efficient and productive study schedule. I finished the blog, I knew that effective test preparation consists of organizing, studying, and evaluation. Especially, organizing help me to study more efficient and productive. These skills made me to prepare perfectly. I already feel i am ready to take a test. These ways lead to test taker to be more efficient and productive time consumer and better man to focus topic of the exam.

In conclusion, according to CLS text book and my experience,

Organizing+Studying+Evaluation= Efficient and productive test taker

  3. Nice blog with good organization. You didn't feel like organizing was important but it seems great the you learned it through this week's tech assignment. However, you should focus on more things than organizing because I sometimes spend too much time on organizing and lose time to study and prepare for the exams. I hope you do well with the strategy and don't forget to work hard on three of those effective ways to prepare for the tests, organizing, studying and evaluation. Nice blog

  5. I am very impressed with your blogg, it looks like you have put in lot of effort. I hope this helps you well through your exam. I like how you have all the documentations. What I did was first organize the topics into topics. Then it gets more easier to study for an exam. You should first try to organize the main topics of the exams then start going into studying. I enjoyed your blogg!

  6. Nice blog, Un woo. I can tell you tried hard to make source outline and topic outline. I like your way because, as you mentioned, you get to automatically examine the stuff that will be covered in the test and you can also know what you have to do by going over the outlines. I like your formula "Organizing + studying + evaluation = efficient test taker" as it is true.
