Chapter 19 4.e Learn to Exam

There is hardly anyone who doesn't hate exams.Because, in the end, there are only two incarnations in the exam, either a pass or a stumbling block.Nobody likes getting in the way.Dislike takes many forms: fear of exams, dislike of exams, or conversely, mocking of exams. Everyone loves a pass, especially when only a few have one.In fact, there are many roads in this world to achieve the happiness you want, but each road needs a passport.However, apart from exams, there are many forms of passports, such as money and power; less common ones such as beauty, talent, or hard work outside the system; even rarer ones such as winning a lottery.

I taught the TOEFL test at New Oriental for six years, which completely changed my attitude towards the test in a sense.During the six years, in a special environment, I had the opportunity to witness the hard struggle of tens of thousands of people struggling to obtain the pass, and also witnessed the preciousness of the pass-only 10% of the people finally obtained the pass. Sometimes changing your attitude can really change the world.At least, if you change your attitude, you will find that your world has changed.If, you soberly weigh your own resources and find that you have to pass the exam to get your pass, then you better start loving the exam today.A test may be stupid, but the fact that a test is stupid sometimes justifies the conclusion that if you can't pass such a stupid test, it's not just the test itself that is stupid.

The reason to love exams is simple, it's a passport, it means opportunity, opportunities that others don't have access to.Although some people may get that opportunity in other ways, but since you have no other way, don't complain-it's no use complaining anyway.Complaining is the worst waste of time, even when it is true.Take an extreme example.If the society is really unfair, there is nothing wrong with complaining.However, complaining not only takes time, but it can also trigger negative emotions and demoralize you.At the same time, just complaining doesn't change anything by itself.Instead of wasting time complaining about injustices, spend time doing something that actually changes something.

If you love exams, you should definitely be motivated to do a lot of preparation for it.The first thing to do is to figure out how important this test is to you.It is very important to you, so you have to work hard.It's not that important to you, just learn from Yang Zirong and outsmart Nawei Hushan! For example, when you are a freshman and sophomore, all the exams in the school are not important.Don't give high marks, just about the same.Just about enough means that a little more than a passing grade is fine.If you have a report card like this: the average score of each subject is 70 in the freshman year, 80 points in each subject in the sophomore year, and 85 or even 95 points in each subject in the junior year (all professional courses), then you are applying for studying abroad. time, will gain a great advantage.However, the transcripts of the vast majority of applicants for studying abroad are as follows: the average score of freshman is 90 points (then I haven’t found a love partner at that time, I know how to study every day), and the average score of sophomore year is 80 points (love takes time!); The average score of the junior year is 65 (the difficulty of professional courses has increased, but it is so unlucky and broken in love!), then, the result can be imagined.

For another example, for many college students, the CET-4 is very important, because it will affect your graduation to some extent; however, the CET-6 is not so important.In terms of preparation, the TOEFL test is very important, because it directly affects whether you have the opportunity to study abroad after graduation. Moreover, if the TOEFL test is well prepared and the final score is high, it is impossible to fall in the small ditch of the CET-4. There are still many unspoken rules in college.For example, although some teachers seem to be very serious about writing exam questions for the final exam, they actually use the attendance rate to mark them; some teachers will hint the key points of the final exam in a very subtle way; Inquire about it so that you can advance, attack, retreat, or defend in the future.Use your intelligence to put you in an invincible position, regardless of whether the person who comes is "East Evil" or "West Poison", "Iron Catcher" or "Oboi", anyway, you need soldiers to cover you up.

Very important exams are those exams that will eventually become a pass for you, such as the college entrance examination, such as the postgraduate entrance examination, such as TOEFL and GRE.In fact, there are very few exams that test your IQ. In essence, whoever prepares longer and more fully is more likely to win—especially well-designed exams like SAT, TOEFL, IELTS, GRE, and GMAT. exam. It is best to start preparing for these very important exams for your future as a freshman.If the economy is not so tight, try to take some kind of remedial class nearby, regardless of whether it is New Oriental or not.The training class is not like the exam, you must be ready before going; in fact, you should go to the class to know what to prepare.If you don’t have the conditions to go to class, you don’t have to regret not hearing a joke. Anywhere, good teachers are always a minority, and it’s not your fault if you don’t meet them.The Internet is a great thing. As long as you have the ability to read and use a search engine, you can always find a lot of useful information.In a month or so, anyone can have a good understanding of a certain exam.

Then, it is to find a way to collect information.What real questions, question banks, and other reference books.Ask others more, but before asking questions, you must try to find the answer yourself, if you really can’t find it, write it down.If you ask questions that can be answered anywhere, no one will bother to help you.If you trouble someone over and over again, it will be difficult for him not to bother you -- so, it's best to sort out all the questions to ask in advance, which is convenient for yourself and others. The best way to prepare for the exam is to do the questions.However, don't be passive.Do every question seriously.Each question must correspond to a certain learning difficulty.If you do a wrong question, there must be some learning difficulties that you have not figured out, so write it down quickly, and you will have to make a comprehensive tutoring later.Even if you are right, look at other options, think about those common mistakes?People who do not have the habit of tidying up when doing the questions, even if they have a good teacher to stare at them all day, it is useless, and they will never get an advanced pass in any exam.

It is not enough to organize while doing the problem.Also find time to revisit your record every so often.In many cases, the problem can only be locked by repetition.A few days ago, a friend published a translation.When we were eating together, he sighed, "I found two more mistakes, ashamed!" I reassured him and said, "Actually, this is very normal. You know, if you shave your head, no matter the barber Be careful, there will always be a few hairs left in the end..." In the same way, in order to obtain a pass, and preferably a premium pass, all we can do is eliminate our possible mistakes.Therefore, the more repetitions, the less likely errors are.

If, you're a perfectionist and always want to be better, there's another ultimate trick - teaching others what you've learned.Teaching is the best way.Articulating what you think you know is not as easy as you think.Sometimes, if you fail to explain clearly to others, it may be because you don't want to understand it yourself.Most of the time, the questions asked by the teachees often make you find that your ideas are still incomplete.Don't be stingy with your time, don't be stingy with your energy, and don't be short-sighted. Remember, teaching others is equal to learning by yourself. Only those who have learned well can teach others.Also, over time, your experience of sharing knowledge will eventually teach you that this is the best way to help others, and that it will always be rewarded with respect.
