Summary
TLDRIn this video, Laura Morim shares powerful study strategies to boost exam performance, especially for competitive exams. She emphasizes the importance of solving questions early, using techniques like pretesting and error analysis to deepen understanding. Laura encourages students to mix questions from different subjects to mimic real exam conditions, helping them think critically and stay sharp. She also highlights the value of focusing on the specific style of each exam's organizing body (banca), and adapting to their question patterns. These techniques aim to improve accuracy, boost confidence, and increase overall success in exams.
Takeaways
- 😀 Start solving questions from the very beginning of your study process to familiarize yourself with the types of questions you’ll face during exams.
- 😀 Pretesting (solving questions before learning a new topic) helps stimulate curiosity and prepares your brain to focus on key areas during the study session.
- 😀 Track mistakes in a dedicated document to revisit challenging questions and improve on them systematically over time.
- 😀 Create a personal 'wrong questions' document to organize and identify recurring errors, helping you focus on weaknesses that need attention.
- 😀 Use a system where you categorize questions into levels of difficulty to revisit the hardest ones more frequently until you master them.
- 😀 Incorporate mixed question practice into your study routine. Avoid solving questions in blocks of similar topics to better simulate the real exam scenario.
- 😀 Analyzing your mistakes in-depth is crucial; understand not just the correct answer but the specific reason behind the error (e.g., missing keywords or misunderstandings).
- 😀 Pay attention to specific details, like keywords such as 'except,' 'not,' and 'only,' which can completely change the meaning of a question.
- 😀 Specialize in the pattern of your exam board by solving questions from the same exam format regularly, which helps you become familiar with their style and traps.
- 😀 Keep your study sessions dynamic by solving questions from various topics in a mixed sequence, training your brain to adapt to unexpected question topics.
Q & A
What is one of the most common mistakes students make during their exam preparation?
-One of the most common mistakes is not solving questions during the preparation phase. Many students focus solely on theory and neglect to practice questions, which can lead to difficulties when facing the exam.
How can students improve their performance by using questions in their study routine?
-Students should start solving 20-30 questions on the topic after studying theory (e.g., PDF or video lesson). They should also solve cumulative questions periodically, covering all the topics they've studied so far.
What is the 'pretesting' method, and how does it work?
-The 'pretesting' method involves solving 5-10 questions on a new topic before you begin studying it. While you may not understand the answers, this technique helps stimulate curiosity and focus your attention on key points when you later study the topic in-depth.
Why is it important to analyze mistakes made in practice questions?
-Analyzing mistakes helps identify weak areas and ensures they are addressed. It's crucial to review incorrect answers thoroughly, understand why the error occurred, and integrate corrections into study materials for future reference.
What strategy can be used to keep track of mistakes and track progress?
-Students should create a 'wrong questions' document, categorizing errors by subject. This helps to track weak points and focus on them for further review. If a question is repeatedly wrong, it can be flagged for additional attention.
What are 'mixed questions,' and why are they important?
-Mixed questions refer to a variety of questions from different topics, mixed together rather than grouped by subject. This practice simulates exam conditions, where questions are often random and require students to quickly analyze and decide on the best approach for each.
How does practicing mixed questions benefit exam preparation?
-By practicing mixed questions, students learn to manage different topics in a single exam session, forcing them to think critically without preconceptions. This improves cognitive engagement and better prepares them for the unpredictability of the actual exam.
How can understanding the exam board's style improve performance?
-Each exam board has its own style and set of preferences for the types of questions they ask. By specializing in the types of questions and tricks commonly used by the exam board, students can become more adept at handling those specific styles, increasing their chances of success.
What is the importance of analyzing errors related to wording in questions?
-Many students make mistakes by missing key words in questions, such as 'except,' 'only,' or 'not.' Analyzing these errors helps students become more attentive to details in question wording, preventing easy mistakes during the exam.
What should students focus on when studying for exams that involve a lot of memorization?
-In exams that heavily rely on memorization, students should focus on remembering key details such as dates, exceptions, and specific terms exactly as presented in the material, rather than seeking to understand the deeper logic behind every detail. Understanding how the exam works often requires playing by its rules, which may include memorization.
