I’m writing this entry for myself, as I often forget my tips from previous tests to use in my next test. It’ll be great if you find them helpful for you, too .

To get good grades:

• When I study, study to get 100%…of course I never finish my studying to be confident that I could get 100%, this is just to motivate myself, KEEP STUDYING)
• When I’m about to take the exam, imagine that I’m gonna get only 85% and still feel ok with that —> relax –> less anxiety, better grade.

So, the idea is to convince yourself that it’s ok to get a lower grade than you expected, RELAX ^^…

(Don’t be too relax that you on the exam like me once , I got bad grade for that one for being too anxious at first, and too relaxed at last. I find out I got 100% any time I did not want it badly, wish I could be calm and got luck more often.)

Don’t change my answer if I:

• have no idea about the topic
• don’t have a really good reason for the change

 

Change my answer if I:

• recognize I misunderstood the question and find the other choice correct
• find a part of my first choice is wrong

If I think all options given are wrong and can’t choose one:

• choose the one that even if it’s wrong, it’ll do the least harm.

If I think all problems given can be right to be serious:

• Choose the one that is most acute and require immediate attention (usually mental status involved)

If I have no idea about the topic:

• Eliminate those answers that can be in the same group (lab tests for the same purpose, same group of disease…), look for common points

Will add more if I can think of something else . Do you have any tip that can help me? Please share them .
