Timothy Here Again…

With 12 days left to your ICAN Exams. A lot of students are in the library or place of study now reading round the clock so that they can pass this diet's ICAN Exam and this is absolutely okay. I am also sure that you are not exempted.

Despite all this, there are little but very important things we need to take note of. As simple as they are, they have made several students fail their exams. They include:

*1. Not answering the question:* There are two main reasons for this; Not reading the question properly. Secondly, Subconsciously answering the question slightly different:

The second often arises from a mistake in preparation or revision. Some students prepare set answers in their mind.

*2. Not looking at the mark scheme or the space provided:* Both the mark scheme and the space provided (if there is one) will provide clues about how much the Examiner is expecting to see.

A one-paragraph answer is not going to be enough for a 15-mark question. Check the marks available, and make sure that your answer fits.

*3. Panicking:* Faced with an exam paper, it is easy to panic, especially if your first reaction is that you are unable to answer any of the questions. Take a deep breath and count 1 to ten, slowly. That will help you to calm down. Remember that you will get no marks if there is nothing written on your answer paper.

It sounds obvious, but *it is important to provide some answers, even if they are not very good*. Even if you are really struggling, you should be able to find one question that you can answer, or make a reasonable attempt to answer.

*4. Failing to plan your time:* Before you start writing, check the number of questions, and the amount of time you have. This will tell you roughly how long you have for each question. Try to spend no more than that much time on each question. *You can always go back later if you have time left over.*

*5. Failing to plan your answers (particularly for essays):* In writing an essay papers like CSME, AA, AAA ETC, which includes a shorter essay-type response to a question, it is important to get the structure right.

An essay usually needs to make an argument, and have a reasonable flow from start to finish. This requires planning.

*6. Be specific in your Answer:* It is best to be as specific as possible in whatever you write. You should show that you understand the limits of your statements.

*7. Legible handwriting, Making spelling and grammar errors:* It is admittedly much harder without a spell check. You do, however, need to be able to write basic English well, without spelling or grammar errors. Just as a basic check, read back over what you have written at the end, and make sure it makes sense.

When you follow the above tip, couple with your relentless study then your success in the November 2022 Diet will be guaranteed.
