한국어 공부하자! 고고고

29 July ‘16 // Tmr i’m going to a festival!! Whoot!!! 🙌🏼  

Anyways, here is a lil habit tracker thing I started today where I add a paper star (they’re rly relaxing to make okay...) to the jar every time I achieve my daily goal for a habit (the habits are more detailed then what’s written on the jar but ya know)

Hopefully this will motivate me towards better habits (hahahaha) as I see this visually accumulate! and yup I added a few stars to show u guys what a cheat pfft

a v. important, no frills post on what you should do on exam day. just a few tips from a medicine student :)

food

eat: protein (high energy), fresh fruit (low GI + fructose), any other common breakfast staples (don’t be adventurous with your food today! keep it simple)

have eggs/tuna, apples (makes you more awake than caffeine), wholemeal toast

avoid: heavy carbs/turkey (makes you sleepy), caffeine (excess can make you jittery), excess gum (laxative effect), excessively greasy/dairy/spicy/sugary food (nauseous effect), alcohol

don’t have pasta from last night, energy drinks, curries, bacon

what to bring*

water bottle! (pls sip if you feel tired/stuck on a question! it helps i swear)

transparent pencil case

student ID

2 pencils (eraser tips would be good!)

2 pens

clear ruler

eraser 

calculator/protractor etc. for certain subjects

* check your exam notification on the type of pen/pencil, whether calculator is allowed etc. DON’T bring white out- usually not allowed in exams, but again check for your school.

on the way

goal: stay calm and quiet

action: sit in a quiet carriage of a train, play white noise in headphones, avoid noisy/stressed out fellow exam-takers

reason: boosts your focus, confidence and calmness. enables you to utilise any last minute revision time effectively

on the way: revision

goal: active revision (avoid just reading over stuff!)

action: redraw diagrams, verbalise definitions, solve harder past paper questions from scratch.

reason: it’s easy to fall into the trap of thinking ‘i know this already’. revising like this solidifies what you know and ensures clarity and depth in your answers.

reading time

this depends on which subject the exam is for but here’s a general guide

1. reading over long response/essay type questions and think about your stance/arguments to support it. 

2. skim through whole paper for questions on hard/difficult-to-memorise topics. keep a mental note to do those first (brain dump the info first while the knowledge is fresh!)

hey @learnal! thank you for sending me an ask uwu

flower crown: when did you last sing to yourself?
