5 SECRETS OF EXAMINATION SUCCESS WITHOUT EXPO
exercises, oral questions or practical tasks, set to
test a candidate’s knowledge and skill. It’s what
every student must do in order to progress in
their academics. Examination also serve as a
measure for students who deserve to graduate at
all levels of education. This is why students
always find every possible way to pass their
examinations.
The quest for examination success by all means is
what brought ‘examination expo’ which is now
common in Nigeria now. Examination expo is the
act of exposing answers before the examination is
done. It has been in existence for a very
longtime but it became popular among students
with the aid of internet in 2008.
Most students of this generation are lazy to
prepare for examination. This is why they rely on
examination expo in order to pass their
examaminations, whereas they can perform better
if they prepare for the examination. The most
annoying thing about examination expo in Nigeria
is that many parents and teachers are in support
of it. In fact, some parents will tell their
children not to read since there is option of
expo.
Many students always find it difficult to read and
assimilate because of their approach to reading.
Below are some things you can do in order to
read and pass any examination without expo.
5 SECRETS OF EXAMINATION SUCCESS:
1. Dispel the myths associated with examinations
Most students were encouraged to go for examination expo by their seniors. They’re scared
into it with their false ideas about such
examinations. These seniors always make it look
impossible for their junior to pass any exam
without expo, whereas it’s because they are lazy.
You need to remove all these false ideas from
your mind before you start reading for your
examination. This will make your mind free and
you’ll be able to concentrate.
2. Change your bad attitude towards reading
There is one common bad attitude for most
students which is reading only in the exam
period. A good student should start reading for
examination as early as possible. It will be easier
for such student to assimilate because there is no
need to rush. Create time to read your books
before the exam period. You’ll only need to
revise what you’ve read during exam period and
you’ll easily remember them in the examination
hall.
3. Improve your study and revision technique
Reading for examination is different from normal
reading. Someone who want to read for exam
won’t read his books like newspaper. There
should be time for meditation after each session
of reading. Create time to read and time for
revision on what you’ve read. Don’t just read
and wait for exam period before you’ll start
revision. It’s also necessary to know your reading
ability. Don’t force yourself to read beyond your
capacity. Make good use of your reading time
even if it’s just 2 or 3 hours in a day. Go out
to play when you’re tired and come back to
reading.
4. Eliminate the irrational fears
You have to remove all fears that can affect
your ability to think properly. Most students do
fail their exams despite their preparation because
of examphobia. The fear that the exam is difficult
to pass is what caused their failure. This is
because phobia for exam can make you forget
everything you’ve read in the examination hall.
You need to have the mind that you can pass
the examination irrespective of what you’ve heard
about it. Read for the exam and go to the hall
with confidence.
5. Improve your examination technique
You have to improve your examination techniques
which include timing and the way you answer
questions. It’s necessary for you to understand
any question before you attempt it. Don’t rush
to answer a question because of your confidence
that you’ve read. Work on how to manage time
in the examination hall. This is because most
examiners always give time that may not be
enough for you. Always answer the questions
that you know very well before you move to
other questions but make sure you do proper
numbering of your answers. Give illustrations and
examples to support your answers but avoid
verbose answers. Always mind your grammar
because most examiners don’t joke with mechanical
accuracy of answers. Verify your answers, submit
your answer booklet and leave the examination
premises.
Above all, pray for the success in that exam.
These secrets are what you need to pass any
examination without expo. They worked for me
and my friends. Many people don’t know our
secrets then but I decided to share them in order
to inspire people who think they can’t pass
without expo. Don’t be a certified illiterate who
can’t defend his certificate. Thanks for reading.
