Thanks

How? Maybe you didn't meet the cut off mark.

All men make mistakes but only the wise one learn from their mistakes. After careful observation and research, I have come up with mistakes readers make while reading. These mistakes, if not avoid can minimize reading effectiveness. So, I have decided to write this article.

1. FOCUSING ON QUANTITY RATHER THAN QUALITY
Let me ask you a question, which do you prefer between the two options below?
A. Reading one topic per day and you understand and remember everything in the topic
B. Reading four topics per day and can only remember few.
Definitely A! It is better to read few things and remember everything than read a lot and remember few. Quality first, then quantity. Don't focus on quantity until you are sure of the efficiency of your reading.

2. READING AFTER LOSING CONCENTRATION
After reading for a long period of time, you tend to lose concentration. At this moment, your brain loses its retaining ability and you discover you don't understand what you are reading again. When this happens, stop reading temporarily, take some minutes break so that your brain can recover quickly. What if you are having an important examination to read for and you've got little time to prepare?

lot of people have ended up their lives in vain without achieving anything. This vanity is not a day event but a compilation of their thoughts and actions throughout their lives. Am I actually doing the right thing? is the question that should come to your mind. Therefore, I have decided to write this article to give you the answer to your question. 

1. YOU DON'T HAVE A GOAL

   What is your goal in life? Everybody says "I want to become a doctor,nurse,accountant,engineer,lawyer..". Have you asked yourself the question "What do I want to become?". If yes, have you come to a conclusion?.

What to do: Make the right decision today, nobody is too young to dream.

2. YOU ARE NOT WORKING TOWARDS YOUR GOAL

   Well done is better that well said. Dreams are not fulfilled until they become a reality. Your wish to become a doctor does not make you a doctor. You should be focused, determined and work hard towards achieving your goal.

What to do: Work towards your goal, don't rest until you achieve it.

3. YOU ARE WASTING VALUABLE TIME

   Social media has taken up the time of most people. If you spend the lion's share of your time on your Facebook or Instagram timeline, liking and commenting on other people's post, you are wasting your time. Ask yourself "What do I stand to lose if I don't use my social media accounts?" Nothing!. What have I gained by using my social media accounts? Nothing!. If one or both of your answers is the same as mine, then I see no reason why you should spend most of your time on it. 

What to do: Manage your time well, spend little or no time on social media.

4. YOU PROCRASTINATE A LOT

    The habit of postponing what should be done is a true sign that you are wasting your life. If you have goals and you procrastinate, you will end up with nothing. However, if you have goal and take action, you will have anything you want. Procrastination will only make easier tasks hard and hard ones harder.

What to do: Start taking actions today and avoid procrastination.

 5. YOU ARE LIVING OTHER PEOPLE'S LIFE

       If you are spending your time trying to be like others, you begin to lose your real self. This is self-betrayal and it is the worst form of betrayal. What you have in you is enough to take you to greater heights than that of whom you are living to become. 

What to do: Be yourself, there is no body better.

What do u mean

Yes

The problem students face is how they can study for many hours but a greater problem they face is how to remain concentrated when they study for many hours. As a result, I have decide to write this article to help student maintain full concentration while studying.

1. CHOOSE THE RIGHT ENVIRONMENT 

  An environment that is free all sorts of distraction is the perfect place to read. Your reading environment is as important as how often you read. It serves as a catalyst to speed up effective reading.


2. MAKE READING INTERESTING

  The desire to read is maintained when reading is interesting. Nobody wants to be involved in boring activities. How can I make reading interesting is the question that should come to your mind. Easy! I have gathered a list of what you should do to maximize your interest in reading

A. Use effecting reading method:- How do you feel when you understand and remember everything you read? Great right? That is the spirit that boosts your interest in reading and make you want to read more.

B. Find a study partner:- Reading with a friend especially one who is academically better than you helps you to boost your reading interest. It will make you try to catch up with such person. Tell him/her to ask you questions, ask questions on what you don't understand, discuss the topic together and you will be surprised at how long you will read without losing concentration.


3. ELIMINATE DISTRACTIONS

  Concentration is the absence of distraction. You can easily be distracted by people around you and your environment. Your environment include your mobile phone, Television e.t.c. Find a way to keep away from them. Avoid checking your social media accounts, switch off your phone and don't read while the Television is on. This helps your brain to focus only on reading.


4. GATHER STUDY MATERIALS

  Keep your study materials such as pen,textbooks,notebooks and flashcards at a very close range. It will prevent you from leaving your reading spot to pick them, therefore ensuring maximum concentration. Before reading commences, think about everything you'll need and make them easily accessible at close distances.


5. MAKE A STUDY PLAN

  By creating a plan, you have just made your body aware of what is ahead of you. This in turn make your brain concentrate on reading. So, set a study plan which should contain what you want to read, how you want to read, where you want to read, when to begin and when to stop reading.


6. BUILD YOURSELF 

  You cannot read for 8hours when you have never read for 2hours. It takes time learn long-term reading. If you read for 1hour before, try to read for 2-3 hours. Once you are used to reading for 2-3hours, increase it to 4-5 hours. This way, you learn how to read for hours without losing concentration.

Hmmm. Reading through the comments.

There is need to understand the major reasons why students fail examination in spite of reading so as not to fall victim of the situation. As a student, if you fail an examination, most people including your parent, friends and loved ones do not hesitate to conclude that you have failed to study for the examination. This conclusion is in accordance with the facts based on past events and history,in fact, failure to study for an examination is the major reason for failure. 


    However, there are rare cases where students study for an examination and at the end fail such examination. This rare occurrence is due to the some factors which students fail to consider in the course of preparation. 


Some of this factors will be considered in this article.

1. READING ONLY FOR THE PURPOSE OF THE EXAMINATION

This is the major reason why people read. However, it should be noted that there is no end to education. It is not about reading for examination, passing the examination and ending it like that. Your purpose of reading should be because you want to acquire knowledge. With this mindset, you'll get to understand what you are reading better. 


2. LACK OF STUDY  PLAN

The importance of having a study plan should not be underestimated. It is a vital step towards an effective reading. Many student read for examination without effective planning. This attitude makes students fail to meet the requirements for the examination. 

  To ensure an effective study plan, the factors below should be noted:-

Set daily targets and ensure you achieve them. If due to any reason you are not able to meet the daily target, try as much as possible to sacrifice your night or other time to achieve them. Don't leave daily target unachieved! Reading timetable should be drawn and ensure you stick to it! Spend more time on your weakness(es) 

3. FAILURE TO MEET THE EXAMINATION REQUIREMENTS

It is a common attitude of examination bodies to have a range of required knowledge from their candidates. This is usually found in the syllabus. Some students read randomly without even knowing what is expected of them by the examination body. As a result, many read below expected while others waste useful time that should have been used to cover the whole syllabus above expected on few topics. They end up knowing few questions from the little topics they have read.

  To avoid falling victim of this:-
Ensure you have the official syllabus
Use the textbooks recommended by the examination body(if any) 
Ensure you cover the syllabus before the commencement of the examination. 

4. INEFFECTIVE READING

Reading effectively is the key to passing an examination. The question you should ask is "How do I read effectively?" Simple! You can read my article on "How to read effectively and remember everything" by clicking http://classicinfospot..com.ng/2017/05/10-proven-ways-to-read-effectively-and.html?m=1
 

5. LACK OF CONFIDENCE

Few students that read effectively fail examination due to lack of confidence. However, Confidence is only built up when you have prepared adequately for and examination. So, read effectively, confide in yourself and the story will change. 


6. NEGLECTING THE POWER OF PRAYER 

Every process in the life of a man is incomplete without prayer, so don't neglect prayer while reading for an examination. Prayer is the key to success.

You are copying and pasting other people's post. The main source is http://classicinfospot..co.ke/2017/05/10-proven-ways-to-read-effectively-and.html

Everybody want to associate with exceptional people. We all want to be outstanding in day-to-day activities especially among peer. For example, being exceptional in class, you answer all or most of the questions thrown across from the teacher/lecturer. This usually gives a positive insight of one by other people. What are the benefits of standing out among peers? 

-Your parent will be proud of you
-Family and friends will praise you
-You will feel fulfilled
-You have higher authority among peers and your say will be final
-Hope of achieving your dream is maximised

  As a result of this, I have decided to write this article to help you achieve this goal. 

  A lot of things have to be sacrificed while new things are carried out to be exceptional which will be fully unleashed in this article. I will break down this article into 6 ACTIONS AND 6 BEHAVIOURS. Some actions have to be implemented by you if you want to stand out among peers. These actions include:-


1. WAKE UP VERY EARLY EVERYDAY 

   Do not wait till morning before you wake up. Stay ahead of others, increase the time available for your daily activities. By doing this, there is better chance of completing them. You can use my method of "Multiple alarms" to ensure you wake up at your target time. For example, if you want to wake up by 4am, set alarms to wake you up at 3:30am,3:40am,3:50am,4:00am.....4:30am. By doing this, you are sure that one of these alarms will eventually wake you up. 


2. READ EVERYDAY 

   Standing out among others involve being active in every productive discussions(not gossiping). To make this possible, you have to read a lot. Reading should not be limited to school studies but should be extended to political view, vocabulary, mathematics skills and others.  Your brain has the capacity to store these pieces of information so make use of it. You should read at least 1 hour everyday either during the day or two night, you will see the positive impact in your life. 


3. AVOID PROCRASTINATION 

   Don't try to postpone your daily activities, carry out and complete them at the right time. Remember that "You may delay, but time will not". Every duty which is bidden to wait returns with seven fresh duties at its back. 


4. MAKE MAXIMUM USE OF YOUR TIME

   Do not waste time on useless activities. While your mates are wasting time watching Television, wasting more than required time on their phones, playing and gossiping around, use your quality time to carry out rewarding activities like that in Action.2 above. There is no time to waste time. While your friends try to gain instagram and twitter follows/Facebook likes, try to build your own life!.

Thanks.

Based on my review, I discovered that fear prevails in the mind of everyone during examination. Yes, everyone!, the intensity only vary with people. You cannot completely eliminate fear during examination unless you want to fail because being over-courageous is a step to failure. That is why I have decided to use the phrase "minimize fear" rather than "eliminate fear". 

      You might want to ask me "Why is it necessary to minimize fear?". I will say it is important because:-


It enhances better performance It reduces rate of mistakes during examination It helps to build maximum brain focus on examination and enhance efficient thinking

So,if you are ready to minimize fear in your upcoming examination, then this is the right article for you to read. 


BE DETERMINED 

   By making a decision that you will not fail, you will surely pass is the first step to limit your fear. Choose what you want(success), this will make you try to do all you can to prepare for an examination. It will help you when you are tired of trying. This mindset is the key to minimizing fear. 


PREPARE ENOUGH

  The key to overcome fear is "RIGHT PREPARATION". You cannot limit your fear when you enter the examination hall empty-brained. Read enough, cover the syllabus, do more researches, check the previous examinations to know the pattern, solve past questions and do all you can until you are satisfied. You will discover that courage will start to build up inside you even before examination. By preparing enough, you will not fear the upcoming examination anymore and your hope of blasting it will increase. By doing this, I can assure you are "one foot into minimizing your fear during examination". 


PRAY

  It is an understatement to say that prayer is another key to overcome fear. Pray to God for wisdom, knowledge and understanding, believe in him, endeavour to have faith and hope for the best. Do not forget that heaven help those who help themselves. Therefore, do not pray without reading and do not read without praying. Pray, read and the fear factor will minimized. If you work hard, pray and you still afraid, it is either:

A. You did not have believe OR
B. It is the minimal fear that is present in everyone. This is the fear that comes when the thought "What if I fail" comes to your mid. Don't worry, it is a normal fear  which cannot be eliminated permanently but can be eliminated temporarily when you take note of the next point to be mentioned below. 

UNDERSTAND YOU ARE NOT A FAILURE

  No man is born to be successful neither is one born to fail,we are all what we make ourselves". If you have prepared extensively for an examination, there is no reason for you to fear. This is what you should remember whenever the fear factor comes along. However, don't try to have this feeling if you are not prepared for an examination. 


MAKE YOUR SELF AWARE THAT YOU ARE PREPARED

  How do you feel when people ask you questions and you are able to answer all? You feel good right? That is the feeling necessary to minimize fear. After preparing enough, you still doubt yourself if you are truly prepared or not. Try to find an answer to this question. A good way to do this is to tell your friends to ask you questions. If you are able to give right answer to the questions, then you are truly prepared. If you cannot, try to go back and fix things up. Do this until you get a positive result. This will make you feel prepared. 


NEGLECT NEGATIVE STATEMENTS IN THE AIR

  One major action that can increase fear is to believe the negative things people say. People will tell you, "The examination is very hard", "People have failed and people will still fail". Don't listen to this courage-killer statements. They are fallacies!. When people tell you this, just remember that "Even though people failed it, some passed it",so you will pass it because you are not a failure.
