There is this culture that most college and university students have when they are doing their exams.It makes the whole exam seen look really complicated and others who are not well acquainted with the system start fearing exams and they start feeling the tension before they even sit for their first paper.During exam time, there are those who are generally shaggy and untidy.You find that they read and go over the entire syllabus in one day.Most of them take coffee and read while their feet are soaked in cold water because they want to fight sleep ans stay awake for twenty four hours.These people are usually good in cramming and they read to pass exams and not to get the knowledge.They can also be classified as the jokers because they just lazy around through the entire semester, go for drinking sprees and parties and they only wake up to the reality of school when they are issued with exam cards.There are other people who are bright and who study throughout the semester and so during exam time, they tend to mislead others. They go telling people how they are not well prepared while in real sense they have everything at their finger tips. These are the people who have so much pride and they look down on the last minute as they struggle to cram everything up in one day.It is also these people who suggest to the rest what will probably be set in the exams and in that same way mislead them into focusing so much in some areas and not touching others.Most of the times these are the people who are never satisfied with their results.They feel overconfident and are more than willing to discuss after the paper to show you just how much they had read and how they are hoping for good results.The other category is the average student.They go through their notes for the last time and they are usually willing to share their notes with other people.This is the category which does not look down on any material that they get during revision.They go through every detail and hope that they grasp whatever is in them. The average students normally read enough before the exam period and they also read enough during the exam period.This is the category which consider their marks in continuous assessment tests and try to estimate what they are likely to get in the exams.The manner in which students study during exams show their level of preparedness as well as their overall attitude towards the education system.So where do you fall.Are you a joker, an overconfident student or an average student?
