I know Preparing for exams can be very demanding.

It is one of the situations every student would want to avoid in life if given a choice. The level of stress experienced in writing exams always increase during the exams period.

This stress could have a negative impact on both our physical and mental health, therefore reducing our ability to perform well on exam days.

Research has shown that this level of anxiety is as a result of uncertainty from us in terms of our level of preparation.

Therefore, to deal with exam anxiety and to enhance your performance, You must-

DEVELOP A STUDY PLAN:

Most of the students don’t plan how they’ll prepare for CITN exam. They just tell themselves that they’ll study as much as possible then hope for the best. This isn’t a wise approach at all.

Preparing for an exam is like taking on an important project. If I may ask; would you start building a bridge without first coming up with a plan?

Would you just begin construction and “hope for the best?”

I don’t think so...

In a similar way, it’s important to outline in writing, a strategy for how you’ll get ready for your CITN exams.

HERE ARE SOME QUESTIONS YOU SHOULD CONSIDER AS YOU DEVELOP YOUR PLAN:

• When will I start studying?

• How many hours each day/week will I block out to study?

• Which topics do I need further clarifications on?

• Which assignments will I review?

• How many exams questions will I need to practice in every topic I study?

• How many times will I review my Jotted notes and materials and my Starry Gold Comprehensive
Video Lectures?

• What distractions am I likely to face, and how will I overcome them?

With these questions in mind, you will be able to strategize and eliminate every hindering obstacle. Remember as the saying goes, “Failing to plan is planning to fail”.

Don’t leave your preparations to chance, as that might not guarantee you an adequate preparation;
make sure you have a plan for your CITN exams.

P.S: No matter how much you hate (or love) exams, they’re part of what will move your career to the next level.

By following these few tips listed above, I believe that the next CITN exams you are going to write will be an easy success experience with a happy outcome!

According to the bureau of statistic, in the first week of December 2019, Nigeria Banks have sacked over 2,929 workers.

Jumoke who was one of the workers that was sacked went on Twitter to lay her outburst. She said that she was one of the active workers in her department yet she was sacked.

So I DM her and asked her few questions;

Starry: Hello Jumoke, sorry for what happened to you.
Jumoke: Hi, but who are you.
Starry: Just let me be a shoulder you can learn and cry on. I really empathize with you.
Jumoke: ok thanks.
Starry: Can I ask you few questions?
Jumoke: Kindly go ahead.
Starry: Were you the only person in your department?
Jumoke: No, we’re two, the second person was not sacked.
Starry: Please give me the full details why you think you were sacked.
Jumoke: I worked in Micro-finance bank and I’m very good at using Accounting software used in the company. I go the extra mile such that I close late just to make sure there is no outstanding task to be done.

I also go to work sometimes on Saturday. But my colleague that was retained has only an edge over me, she is the one that handles all our manual excel document, she analyze and format the data before it is uploaded into the accounting software.

Once it is 5pm, she is on her way home and had never been to work on Saturday even though she would be paid bonus if she came.

I still can’t figure out why they should sack me but retained her.

I want you to be the judge, if you were the owner of the company, if you have to sack one of them, who will you sack?

“It's not enough to be busy, so are the ants. The question is, what are we busy about?” -- Henry David Thoreau.

Busy people think that getting more things done in the sanctioned eight or nine hours at work is the way to go. They fit in too many tasks in their to-do list only to end up moving most of their tasks the next day.

Productive people know too well that they do not need 40 tasks in their to-do list.

They take a less-is-more approach when it comes to planning their work day by only accomplishing those that are important.

P.S: There is a huge difference between being busy and being productive. You can be busy all day and still feel like you’re behind on accomplishing your goals.

How about clearing 75% of your long to-do list without getting the two really important things completed? You were really busy, but were you productive?

How I wished I had wrote last diet ICAN exams,
I had to skip the exam because of the work load in the office.
A colleague of mine advised me to plan ahead, like 3 months to ICAN exam,
So that I can study for just 1 to 2 hours a day and will finish studying the
2 courses I was to write but I ignored because I felt I was too busy.

This week I received a promotion letter too and was transfer to another branch….
Of course I am very happy about it but my work load multiply times 3,
now I work on Saturday and even on Sunday sometimes just for the new branch
to meet the monthly target.

Now I am not sure I will be able to write ICAN exam in the year 2020 because
I need to prove my worth that I am capable as a manager.

I am not complaining or regretting but I just want my story to encourage
all ICAN students to start early preparations even when they think they are busy.

My only regret is that what If I get a bigger job offer but It requires that I must be a Chartered Accountant……. Hmmm ‘yawa don gas be that ooo’

That was a message I received from one of our ICAN students who is currently in ICAN skill level.

The reality on ground now is that the next diet is in March 2020,
it means you have limited time to prepare, so start preparation NOW.

Hope you are not scared of what the outcome of your
last diet exam could be?
I just have over to ask because this week I received over 150 emails
on this issue of ICAN exam result.
This is one of the emails I got…. “Is it true that ICAN result will be out this week,
I saw it in the Telegram platform?... Since then my heart has been breathing fast,
even in my dream all I see is ICAN result and now I have lost my appetite”
……… I just can’t stop laughing

I encourage you to calm down, stop creating tension for yourself and others,
don’t let people to faint ooo…………..

I was forced to reply a student who sent the same question to me five times
on five different days that “It is true that ICAN result will be out this week?”
My last reply was; “Bros abeg, take a chill pill, I no be ICAN official na.
Your result will be out soon”

P.S: While waiting for ICAN result, you can calm your tension by learning new skill, at least it will help you focus on something new and keep you busy.

You might have been thinking of skipping to write ICAN this next diet because of a particular problem you are going through now

…when you skip a diet, there is probability of becoming too tired to continue and sometimes you could just develop the habit of constantly skipping different diets , which would result in the delay of becoming a Chartered Accountant (ACA).

Or

You might have been thinking of quitting ICAN,

…you have actually come this far to quit now, you have spent money, resources and time. Will you allow all your resources to be wasted?

I am so sure you don’t want to…… Abi?

It seems your energies and your resources are running out, so you are wondering if this March ICAN diet you want to write will be another wasteful effort.

Possibility thinking is actually what you need NOW. It has helped countless people survive really tough times.

It can help you too!

Because possibility thinking is not just a vague attitude; It is a hardcore principle.

Your life can also be the portrait of a survivor.

So, how exactly can I practice the POSSIBILITY THINKING TECHNIQUES?

I will continue in my next article

P.S: You can make it. You can win, if you carefully follow the possibility thinking techniques.

In the last article, I tried to explain why you shouldn’t frustrate your child or leave them in anger.

In case you missed the last article, see details of the part 1 and 2 below
…………

1. PUT A TIME LIMIT ON THE WORK.

Most teachers will not expect younger kids to work longer than a half-hour on homework from any particular subject but demand your child’s teacher for a time limit.

If your child struggles (while actively trying) and exceeds the limit, write the teacher a note explaining that’s all that could get done.

Contact the school.

If homework or a project is turning into a dreaded battle, talk with the school. Don’t wait for your next conference.

It’s obviously time for some new insights and new strategies.

2. HELP YOUR CHILD LEARN HOW TO ORGANIZE HIMSELF.

This is a life-long skill that can be taught, but it can be challenging to do so. However you can help your child discover the organizational tricks that will work for him by sharing some of your own.

“It’s very difficult to teach children to be organized if it is not in their nature (or yours),” says guidance counselor Linda Lendman, M.S.W.

“Encourage your child to label everything. Develop strategies, like the ‘must-do list’ before you leave school (put math book in backpack).

Schedule a weekly ‘clean out the backpack and clean off your desk’ time so papers don’t build up. Be patient, and try not to place blame.”

3. RECOGNIZE THAT SCHOOL WORK WILL NEVER BE CONFLICT-FREE.

No one ever raised a child without a homework battle.
“There is no conflict-free homework strategy for most kids,” says Michael Thompson, Ph.D. “At times, kids will find it fun and fascinating.
Other times, it may be something they just have to do and you have to help them find the structure for getting it done.”

This is a continuation from my previous article, read it here……..

4. Understand your Doubts

Sometimes you can get stuck trying to solve part of a question and find it difficult to move on to the next stage. It’s common for many students to skip this question and continue on to the next.

You should avoid doing this and instead spend time trying to understand the process of solving the problem. Once you have grasped an understanding of the initial problem, you can use this as a stepping stone to progress to the remainder of the question.

Remember: calculation courses require time and patience to master.

It is a good idea to study with a friend who you can consult with and bounce ideas off when trying to solve complex problems.

5. Create a Distraction Free Study Environment

A proper study environment and a distraction free area could be the determining factor when solving complex equations or problems.
Some people belief studying with music can help create a relaxing atmosphere and stimulate the flow of information, you may want to try having suitable background music (just instrumental without the voice) to foster an environment of maximum concentration.

6. Create a Dictionary

Some CIS subjects have specific terminology with a lot of vocabulary.

I suggest you create Notes with all the concepts, terminology and definitions you need to know. You should include their meanings, some key points and even some sample answers so you can consult them at any time and recap.

7. Apply the calculations to Real World Problems
As much as possible, try to apply real-world problems when approaching calculations. Looking for a practical application can help change your perspective and assimilate ideas differently.

Budgeting, for example, can be used in everyday life to predict the outcome of spending and determine whether it’s going to be deficit or excess…

Oh and don’t forget that it’s also important to have confidence in yourself and face the exam knowing that you have prepared properly!

P.S: To crown it up, making use of Starry Gold Academy Video lectures will increase your visualization capacity and the ability to retain and recall what you have learnt.

The bitter truth most be told, you will be a year older. You are not getting younger, the clock is ticking and time is going. How many years of your life can you give proper account of as been a great and success years of achievement?

You were told happy birth day this year. The question is, is it really a happy birth year again. You have added a year to your years in age, what about in value?

I met an old man, watching children running and he said, I remember when I was young, I use to like this exercise but now I am old.

There is a saying that goes: The young shall grow. What about the grown up?

What I am saying in essence is you only have today to achieve your dreams, take the next steps today not tomorrow, now not later.

You cannot be Mr. Young for ever. You have the strength and capacity today, this month, this year etc, will it remain for ever?

The old man I told you early, once had the strength and ability to run when he was young and now he is old and can only watch other run. But will never be able to run ever again in life.

The things you can do today but failed to do them, might never again be done in your life.

Thinking of waiting till a month to your ICAN exams before you starts your preparations?

You think it would be feasible enough to use one month or three weeks to get yourself ready for the
exams and still make it?

Well no doubt a very small percentage of students can still thrive on the last minute “cramming”. But most of us aren’t able to do so not to talk of the uncalculated risk involved.

You are definitely better off being well-prepared in advance for the exams than waiting to cram at the last minute. You need to give yourself enough time to study and you need to plan this in advance.

Starting your preparations now will not only increase your chances of success, but will also give you the level of confidence that you need to conquer the exams.

But how do you get started and what do you need to do?

The best place to start is to determine what type of approach and techniques that will best suite your learning style and schedule

Should you allocate two hours every day for your studies? Or you should allocate one hour during weekdays and dedicate more hours during the weekends?

How much time to allocate will depend on the level of your busy schedule and activities. If you are a type that always go to work early and return back late from Monday to Friday, you can consider using one hour every day during the week and maybe five hours or more during the weekends.

But if you are the type that is not always busy during the weekdays even at work, then you can dedicate at least two hours every day for your studies.

Next, take the exam syllabus and write down how many exams (Courses) and the content of the various courses. Once this is completed, spread the breakdown over the month period before the exams actually begin.

Always remember you may want to give some subjects more study time than others.

You’ll have to find a balance that you feel comfortable with and that will suit you best.

Additionally, after every topic thoroughly studied, pick up the practice questions based on the topic studied in our member’s area and solve.

After solving it, you can again access the solutions in the member’s area to compare with yours. This will help relieve your anxiety and boost your confidence on every topic studied.

In every topic studied that you did not understand, ask questions on our telegrams lectures platform to have a better understanding.

Follow the lectures on our telegrams classes and interact and attempt the assignment questions given there and also go through other students answers.

This will give you a good exposure to different questioning and answers techniques. Follow all these given approaches with dedication and commitment, trust me you will be grateful that you did.

P.S. Remember, success can never be achieved without the right approach, commitment and enthusiasm.

If you have not started your preparations, just know that you are risking and compromising your
chances of success.

You may have already known that ICAN has updated their syllabus which have taken effect this November 2019 diet.

In order for you to get yourself fully prepared for the exams,

There are some key elements you need to be aware of in this new syllabus…

One of the good news about the ICAN new syllabus is that ICAN has signed a consensus agreement with other foreign Chartered Institutes.

What this means is that, with your ICAN (ACA) you can be certified without writing any exam for the following; Chartered Institute of Management Accountants (CIMA), Chartered Institute of Public Finance and Accountancy (CIPFA) and Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales (ICAEW).

All you need is just few years of working experience and, yes, without writing any exams.

In addition to that;

• In Financial Reporting and Corporate Reporting, there are some IFRS accounting standards that were not effective in the old syllabus which will be included in the new syllabus.
Besides that, few new ones just released are going to be tested now.

• Some of the key elements in Quantitative Techniques (QA) that have been scraped and has been added to Performance Management and Case Study.

• In the exams structure, nothing changes in foundation, but in Skills and Professional, question one is now compulsory which is going to be 40marks and that question one in every diet will come from the Core Topic Area.

• If you wrote Foundation last diet and you are to move to Skill level now, you are allowed to combine taxation which has been moved to foundation with the skill courses in your exams.

• In Case Study, you will be given a Case two weeks to the exams for proper study.
Please note that, it’s the case you are going to be given and not the question and requirement, the question and will be given to students on the day of the exams.
Also the maximum pages now for case study is 30 pages as against the previous 15 pages.


• Please note that what the examiner will be testing for in your Case Study is your analytical skills, which means that at the end of your analysis or answers, you are expected to give summary.

• Marking of exams now is going to be onscreen marking which means that it’s going to take a minimum time for ICAN to release their results. To that effect, there will now be three diets in a year which is going to be March, July and November.

• Registration for the exams will no longer be allowed at the last minutes of the exams as there will now be a deadline for registration. Which means after the deadline, ICAN will accept your payment but will not allow you to sit for the exams for the diet but will instead, carry the registration over to the next diet.

Please note that according to ICAN; as they have simplified things for the students with the Core Topic Areas for each subject which is going to be 40% of your total scores, the marking scheme now will be stricter.

PS: You need to start preparation right now. If you have not started and also if you have not gotten your video lectures, you should know that the clock is ticking fast. Time waits for no one, you shouldn’t wait for time

1. Practice, Practice & More Practice


It is impossible to study calculation subjects properly by just reading and listening. To study calculation courses, you have to roll up your sleeves and actually solve some problems.

The more you practice answering the calculation problems, the better.

Each problem has its own characteristics and it’s important to have solved it in numerous ways before tackling the exam.

There is no escaping this reality, to do well in a calculation exam,
you need to have solved a LOT of problems beforehand.

2. Review Errors

When you’re practicing with the problems (questions), it’s important to –

Work Through the Process for each Solution.

If you have made any mistakes, you should review them and understand where your problem-solving skills let you down.

Understanding how you approached the problem and where you went wrong is a great way of becoming stronger and avoiding the same mistakes in the future.

3. Master the Key Concepts


Do not try to memorize the processes.

This is counter-productive. It is much better and rewarding in the long-run to focus on understanding
the process and logic that is involved. This will help you understand how you should approach such problems in the future.

Remember that calculation subject is SEQUENTIAL, so it’s important to have a firm understanding of the key concepts that forms the basis for a topic before moving on to work on a more complex solutions which are based on understanding the basics.

So here is where I put down my pen. Please look forward to my next article as I give you more tips on soving calculation courses

PS: Our CIS video lectures is designed to help you understand how to understand your calculation courses better

Since I started this International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) trend,
I have received lots of feedbacks from Facebook groups,
email reply, WhatsApp chat, Twitter, Instagram DM, Phone Calls and Telegram chat.
If you missed my previous articles on IFRS, see details here https://medium.com/@starrygold/what-is-ifrs-all-about-9eca95e4d720

Some of the question and arguments concerning IFRS I received are;

• “Are you saying that, as an Accountant, I must write ACCA Diploma in IFRS Exams?”

• “IFRS knowledge is strictly for Accountant that works with multinational Accounting companies”


• “Don’t confuse us, we are Chartered Accountants already, we already know about IFRS”

• “I am still struggling to become a Chartered Accountant, I can’t kill myself abeg”


• “Only certified ACCA personnel needs the knowledge of IFRS”



Well, there is no basis for argument. International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) has come to stay in Nigeria, its either you upgrade or be left behind.

The truth is that, if you belong to any of the categories below then
you need the knowledge and implementation of IFRS ;

• Those who analyze Financial Statements.

• Those who give Investments advice to clients.


• Those who manage Investment Portfolios for Local and Foreign Clients.

• Those who just want to refresh their knowledge on IFRS.


• Those who want to upgrade their IFRS skill and competence.

• Those who plan to seat for the IFRS (ACCA Certificate or Diploma) exams.


• Those who prepare and sign Financial Statements.

• Those who want to update their knowledge on IFRS.

In the last article we talked about the valid points that show that no child is dull and we mentioned the teachers approach.

In case you missed the part 1 of this article, see details here http://starrygoldacademy.com/successtips/no-child-is-dull/

Let’s continue on the outcome of the research.

These are the suggested activities that has turned the so called “ dull child” to smart and brilliant child.

1. WHILE TEACHING YOUR CHILD ,DON’T LET HIM/HER GET YOU FRUSTRATED:

When kids are having a hard time with homework or a school-related subject, they often explode with anger. Which makes the parent or teacher wonder “What did I do wrong?”

“You didn’t necessarily do anything,” Michael Thompson, Ph.D. advises

“sometimes when kids feel misunderstood at school or frustrated by a subject they get angry or provoke the parent — as a way of making you feel as helpless

or angry as they feel. It’s almost like your child is saying ‘would you hold my hopelessness for a while?’

Or

‘I need you to feel what I am going through, so I am going to make you angry.'”

The secret is that you must not react the way the child expected you to react, if you do, the child might lose interest in learning from you and if that happens, not matter you teach the child, he/she won’t understand.

Just keep your cool.

Then you have to make the child to know that you understand his frustration and you are willing to help. The child will sense that and will have open mind when you are teaching him.

Even if the child is perceived as being dull, an open mind to your teachings could lead him/her to become smart.

Kids are so smart, don’t let them outsmart you.

A perfect example of this was Akin, my neighbor’s son. The family has tagged him as the ‘black sheep in the family’ because he is not performing well academically but his siblings were the best in their respective classes.

His teacher has complained bitterly about his attitude, how he is always feeling frustrated because he was not understanding mathematics

Most times Akin was always sent out of the class.

His father eventually changed his school and suddenly everything changed. His new teacher had to address Akin’s attitude of feeling frustrated when learning and always told him to calm down that he will understand but it will take a gradual process.

The teacher told Akin to always be happy excited during lessons. Even though it took up to 5 months for Akin to start picking interest in Mathematics , he eventually became an average student.
What we noticed was that Akin loves his teacher and would say “My formal teacher understand mathematic better than my new teacher, but my new teacher made me have interest in Mathematics because he understands my weakness and helped to make me stronger”


P.S: There isn't necessarily one right learning style. By helping your child discover his preferred learning styles, could improve his or her learning rate.

We have exactly one month and 3 days to the end of the year 2019…. enough time to become a better version of yourself.

According to the book MAKING HABIT BREAKING HABIT by Jeremy Dean; on the average, it takes approximately 2 months to grow a new habit or skill, 66 days to be exact.

You can make the remaining days in 2019 to be super productive by picking up a new habit or skill for your personal development.

Until we are really determined to change, nothing will change, don’t wait till next year to start another new year resolution, the best time to start is now.

According to Jeremy Dean “The true aim of personal change is to turn our minds away from miracle cures and quick fixes and adopt a long-term strategy.

Habit change isn’t a sprint; it’s a marathon.

The right mindset is to wake up tomorrow almost exactly the same person except for one small change—a small change that you can replicate every day until you don’t notice it anymore, at which point it’s time to plan another small change”

Skeptical How a Video Lecture Only Can Make You Pass Your CITN Exams?


Well I’m glad I will not be alone answering this question for you


That is not all, there are enormous benefits attached to getting this video lectures.

Find out more in my next article as I will be revealing all the benefits of the video lecutures


PS: Let us help you today to live your dream of becoming professional tax practitioner with ease, getting a better job and living a comfortable life in no time


Stop thinking about it, stop wasting time, call us NOW!, our team of experts are waiting to help you bring that your dreams to reality.

I had a discussion with a class teacher who told me that some children are just naturally dull and that no matter how you teach them they will not just understand.

This got me thinking, so I did an eight month research on this issue.

I discovered that there are various researches on this topic already. One of the researches shows the reply of some randomly selected professional teachers, see their reply below;


To teach children who are somewhat dull but having a good brain, first we need to get along with them well. They have to feel comfortable in our presence only then they will open up and feel free and this makes the teacher and the student to establish a good relationship. Once a good rapport has been established the student can learn very well.


Every learner represents potential. It is up to the teacher to examine the material that needs to be mastered and like a skilled tailor create the learning condition in which all students will gain knowledge and be successful in gaining greater abilities.


You should make sure that your student is completely involved in the given task. It is your responsibility to divert his attention to the learning material. If you estimate the mental capability of a child accurately, it becomes very easy to provide him a well-tailored personalized program of learning. Definitely it will fascinate the child to a level suitable to learn.


Practically, you should determine which type of intelligence the student has( according to the Multiple Intelligence Theory); logical, natural..etc. Then, choose some activities or games suitable for his intelligence...This could perfectly work as a good start.


I don’t want to share the whole teachers’ feedback, so let’s examine these four feedbacks;

The valid point in the feedbacks show that the teachers approach is very important.

THE TEACHERS APPROACH: if a teacher noticed that a child is not performing well academically, it means that child requires special attention and the teaching approach needs to change for that child to start understanding well, but the teacher must first understand the child.

You are wondering that how many students a teacher can be able to attend to. I also wondered.

For a dull child, you can actually get a private teacher or use a different approach like using video tutorial.

I have to stop here for today, I will continue discussion on my research

P.S: To succeed, never stop trying but always try a different approach. You child’s success is very important to you, kindly give it all it takes.

This is not a question of placing the knowledge of SAGE 50 ahead of your OND, B.Sc or being a Chartered Accountant. It is more of you understanding the TOOLS you need to work with as an Accountant, so there is no basis for comparing.


My friend’s son, Joshua who just finished his NYSC program, told me that he had gone for more than four different interviews for the post of an Accountant but could not get the jobs because the interviewers always asked if he is proficient in the use of SAGE 50.


The last company he went for interview even gave him the opportunity to go and learn SAGE 50 for 3 weeks and come back for practical interview.


Joshua asked “I have SSCE, B.Sc and now a Chartered Accountant but why are the companies focusing more on SAGE 50?”


My answer was that- SAGE 50 is the application that most companies use for their daily accounting task.


SAGE 50 is just an application that is used for accounting purposes,so if you must work with those companies, you must learn how to use SAGE 50”


Though there are other alternative accounting applications apart from SAGE 50, since most companies in Nigeria use SAGE 50 accounting application for their accounting task… You just need to follow the trend if you must be relevant as an Accountant.

It was not easy, thank God you didn’t miss Nov Diet.


I wish you the very best as you await a favorable result.


After writing ICAN exams it feels like Freedom at last!! You just feel like taking vacation from all activities.


If you're stressed out after taking ICAN exams, don't worry


There are steps you can take to calm down, reduce your stress and get on with your life as you expect a favorable result.



1. TRY NOT TO GO OVER THE EXAM QUESTIONS:

On our ICAN Telegram platform, I saw a student saying that there was an error in one of the questions…….. You have already written the exams, nothing can be done about that, just pray for God’s favour.


Do not go home and start checking your textbooks for the correct answer to the exam questions. This will only increase tension and anxiety. You have written the exam, so put your mind at rest.


When I was in the hostel, back in the university, my roommate checked all the correct answers to the exam questions, he shouted “Mogbe oo ” that is, “I am finished ooo” and he fainted.
I guess he noticed that he didn’t do well.


But to our surprise, he passed that exam.


Why put yourself under unnecessary stress and tension? You have done your best, so leave the rest for God and the examiner.



I will continue in my next article.


If you did not write this diet, it is time to start preparing for next diet, remember that from next year it will be 3 diets in a year.

I want to show you something that is really important but some of us take it for granted or maybe we don’t think it’s important.



Do you agree with me that children are the quickest learners?



Yes you do right.



Yet some of them find it difficult when it comes to studying.



Let me show you something…



As adult we are all social beings we act based on what we see others do knowingly or unknowingly, we are motivated by what other people’s success and we want to do better.



Children are the same no matter their age



Do you remember how you feel motivated to read when you go to the library because you see other people reading all around you.



Bringing children together to study can motivate a child to do better because he or she will want to the same thing as the next person sitting with her. Nobody wants to feel left out.


That’s what peer group reading does for your child, it creates interaction between children and they can talk about different things they have learnt. They can also learn from their peers which will make them to be confident about their knowledge.



They will be able to answer question in exam confidently and also be seen as a smart and intelligent child when they speak to people or in front of the class or any other gathering.



The habit is going to influence their reading habit in the university when you are not there to monitor them.



P S :Another thing that can help influence your child learning is the WAEC video lecture which makes learning easier and faster for your child to pass his/her WAEC 9 papers at one sitting .



The WAEC video lecture is inclusive of past questions and answer to enable your child to answers question correctly.



To get Waec Video Lectures,

STARRY GOLD ADMIN

Few days ago I was at my neighbor’s house to talk to her about a business we planned to run together. She was very busy but I knew there was no other time to have the discussion.


I also noticed her son was trying to talk to her a couple of times but she was shunning and shouting at him to leave her alone.


After our little discussion I advised her not to always shun her son because it’s going to affect him on the long run. She felt like I was just exaggerating…


Then I told her the story of my niece who was sent back to Nigeria for slapping her teacher and a student
(don’t be surprise some children do crazy things outside Nigeria o).


After that incident we took her for counseling and during the process of the counseling we discovered she didn’t get attention from her mom from a younger age and her father was late so she decided to do things on her own and become uncontrollable since there was nobody she could express her thoughts with or ask questions.


If you are always brushing your child off he/she will soon start thinking there’s no point in asking mummy and daddy for advice because they will always be busy


When children don’t have enough support in their childhood they will find it difficult to open to you about their thoughts and emotions when they grow older.


I know as parents we joggle with a lot of things like work and home activities


If we are so busy to listen to them at that point we can use words like
‘’Please give me a minute to finish up’’ instead of ‘’ leave me alone’’


I’m guilty of this too but I’m learning to do better every day.


I’m happy to say my niece is now a better teenager and she is gradually beginning to open up to her mom.


P S: Have you seen the WAEC tutorial video that can make your child pass all 9 papers at one sitting without having to worry or pay for extra lesson. And the WAEC tutorial video is inclusive of questions and answer to make learning easier for your child

I spoke with Eniola and she said, “let the exam just come and go.”


Well, this is normal but the question you need to ask yourself is...


“Have I adequately prepared?”


Even two days or a day to exam can still be the reason you pass.


Another question, How?


One of our students, Mr Lucky, visited the office recently and told me this-


“A day to the exam, I practice two questions from two different topics and the two questions came out in the exam, and I answer them first. Luckily for me, one of the questions carries 30 marks.”


Assuming he never practice more, what will have been the outcome of that exam? Do not get tired of solving questions. When it comes to your examinations, there is nothing like over preparation.


Solving enough questions only from now till exam can make a whole lot of difference, and can be the reason for your exam success.

To get different past question call Starry Gold Academy on 08074460975, 08085378906, 07086810335, 07038174484, 08023428420, 08123189141, 09076786154

As you wake up in the morning on the day of ICAN exam, look into the mirror and smile.

The fact is, exams are usually not fun, unless you’re a GURU.

Exam day can be full of unpredictable emotions, but you can decide which emotion to express

Just be HAPPY for no reason.

Wondering why you should be happy for no reason?

According to researcher by Lyubomirsky et al in 2005, there is a link between positive emotion and success - success not only brings happiness but a person who is happy has a higher chance of achieving success than somebody experiencing negative emotion.

No matter what happened on ICAN exam day, DON’T WORRY, BE HAPPY.

P.S: Forget the stress, Do your best, just stay calm, write what you know and
pray that you pass.

Hello Friend,

Wow! The days are drawing closer with every passing day…

I can really feel your enthusiasm to be at your optimum best during the exams and you are doing everything possible to see that dream of becoming an ACA come to reality.

I can see you dedicating more time to your studies and preparations, you are seriously reviewing some difficult topics that are giving you issues.

You have downloaded as many past questions as possible from our member’s area and seriously practicing to build your confidence level.

You have even downloaded the mock and pilot questions from our telegram platform and have start practicing and comparing with the solutions in our members area.

I can really feel your effort and commitment; that is good, keep it up!

But I know at times you just feel very exhausted, like all this is too much for you. Therefore you should just take a break and accept every outcome of the result.

I know preparing for ICAN exams can be very demanding, difficult and exhausting. I know that it takes a strong will to see it through.

But what I also know is the exciting feeling of becoming an ACA, and that fulfilling life you will get after being chartered.

Just imagine…

The feeling of pride and happiness when your name is been called as ACA Oluwadare instead of just Oluwadare.

The sense of achievement of getting the prefix ACA, something which is yours and only yours. A prefix you will carry throughout your entire life.

The feeling when your parents and family are proud of you. When they can proudly say; my child, my husband, my dad etc. is now an ACA.

The respect you get from other people including your colleagues in the office. They start quoting your example to give to other.

The feeling you get when people older and more experience than you take your advice and orders.

When the people around you stop pointing at you and start respecting you, when they praise your mom and dad for your achievement.

That feeling is just beyond this world, the feeling is worth sacrificing and working heavily for.

That is why you just have to stay positive and keep pushing because I know you have the zeal and the stamina to see this through.

And because I know that at the tail end, it will be worth it after all.

P.S. If you are having difficulties accessing the member’s area for past questions and solutions including the newly released ICAN mock and pilot questions, kindly click on the link below to chat with ADMIN and request for assistant.
