OMGGGGGGGGGG...
My prelims begins in March...and the worst part is that i've not finished studying for it. OMGG. been freaking out lately with some many things to do yet so little time!!. Sometimes i wonder if its really worth it to study this far for just a mere paper and for the future. the bright side of the paper is that your starting pay will be higher than a diploma's, you'll have higher chance of a promotion. bla bla bla.
the down side of it is..you'll need to study damn hard for just a mere frekkin paper. the worst part..not everything you study will apply in the real working world. i've asked many friends who've graduated and now working..the typical qns i'll ask them is.."DO what you've studied really apply and relevant to your job" most tell me "No" they will tell me they only used like 20% of what they studied to the working world.. most is your intelligence, ability to adapt and experience.
Uni is a totally diff experience from Poly. In Poly, you can slack almost everyday, study last min like 2 days before..but Uni..you need to be CONSISTENT at all times. i'm still getting used to it.
i've only started studying during Jan..do some reading which i know i will forget since i've short term memory..so i'm starting back to square 1 this month. with prelims in March and the real exam in May..there's just so much to cover with so little time.
Prelims:
March
4 modules (Macro, Principles of Accounting, Principles of Banking & Finance & Corporate Finance)
what i think about prelims: OBVIOUSLY, i cannot finish studying by March. this is due to my late start on the module and also the mentality that prelims does not carry any weight at all to my degree. So the most i'm going to do is try to attempt the paper to my very best.
i hope to finish studying all my modules by end March so that i can start on past exam papers/ examiner's report on April. this way..my short term memory brain can take it.
things to accomplished my March
1. Lecture Notes
2. Study Guide
3. Textbooks.
April
1. Examiner's report (past exam qns)
2.Refresh my memory of all the topics i've studied
May
1. Prepare mentally for the Exam that carries 100% weightage for your Honours Degree
2. Do the Exam
3. Pray Hard you will not fail any modules especially Macroeconomics since next year will be 20++ chapters instead of 12 you're doing rite now.
this may seem little..but its actually alot as i need to read 3 diff things sometimes 4 for just one chapter. imagine how many things i need to cover for ALOT of chapters of just one Module. then times 4 modules i'm taking. THATS ALOT TO READ AND STUDY.
i used to think during my working times at MDS that days and weeks goes by very fast. Right now, its not weeks but Months flew by damn fast without me noticing. after one month ends, i'm always asking myself what i've been doing the past month..
haiz..if only i could turn back time.....
