I read this somewhere and found it funny to share here.... just to make those who currently are doing exams to have some laughs and brighten their moods
May Allah make it easy on everyone have exams here "including me"
--------------------------------------------------
A year has 365 days for you to study.
After taking away 52 Sundays, there are
only 313 days left.
There are 50 days in the summer that is
way too hot to work so there are only 263 days left.
We sleep 8 hours a day, in a year, that
counts up to 122 days so now we're left with 141 days.
If we fooled around for only 1 hour a
day, 15 days are gone, so we are left with 126 days.
We spend 2 hours eating each day, 30
days are used in this way in the year, and we are left with 96 days in our year.
We spend 1 hour a day speaking to
friends and family, that takes away 15 days more and we are left with 81 days.
Exams and tests take up at least 35
days in your year, hence you are only left with 46 days.
Taking off approximately 40 days of
holidays, you are only left with 6 days.
Say you are sick for a minimum of 3
days, you're left with 3 days in the year to study!
Let's say you only go out for 2 days!
You are left with 1 day!
But that 1 day is your birthday...
so...
GOOD LUCK to everyone on your exams.
'Make things easy not difficult and be cheerful not threatening' (Bukhari N Muslim)
Why do we mess up exams? because we are all stupid.
just kidding. Nah the best thing to do is plan plan plan. Plan in advance when you are going to revise and set yourself goals, eg. by 20th march i will revise this topic.
Although have to admit i'm a bit of a hypocrit like, i used to leave things last minute, one thing everyone needs to do well: motivation.
The believer has four characteristics: if he is afflicted by any misfortune, he remains patient and steadfast. If he is given anything, he is grateful. If he speaks , he speaks the truth. If he passes judgment on any issue,he is just .

Following through is the hard part.
But you're right, we've just gotta stay motivated, work hard...and MAKE time if there's none to be found (which is clearly the case, as this thread shows )

plz keep me in ur duaa everyone, I finished my midterm exams and I am waiting the grades
I must admit that I did my best, but even though, I am still scared
1. No amount of praying will help you if you have not put in real effort to learn, God is not going to reward or help you because you have been lazy or left it all to the last minute. If however, you become ill or family matters make it hard for you to keep up you MUST talk to your tutors as soon as possible. Almost all colleges and Universities have ways of dealing with exceptional circumstances and most often they will give you more time or let you take the assessment at a later date but there will never be a lessening of the required standards.
2. You will ONLY be able to deal with what is difficult if you have thoroughly learned the basics - else you have nothing to build on.
3. Successful learning is mostly about choices. You can act responsibly and choose to put in committed effort and learn thoroughly evidenced by setting aside time, knowing about due dates and deadlines, reading the notes, doing the exercises, reading books, steadily working on the assessments, asking questions, feeling you are part of a learning community and so on and that will inevitably bring success. If you don't do this then tacitly you are choosing not to learn.
4. Take breaks. Indeed that latests brain research shows that unless your do your brain never gets a chance to organise itself and the learning will be imperfect. Breaks might be for coffee, a walk, dig the garden, anything that for a long or short time gives your brain a chance to daydream all by itself. This also shows of course that learning cannot be rushed so if you think you can leave it all to the last minute you are just deluding yourself.
5. There is not just one way or one place to learn, thoughts and ideas can come any time so don't limit your self to saying you must be at your desk, you must have quiet you must have this or that before you can learn - doing that just become an excuse.
6. You must know what you have to do and then do it. Its not the tutors responsibility, its not your mothers, its not your employers, it's not God's ... its YOURS.
Lots of people have written about learning and wisdom:
Bible Proverbs 2:6 "And here's why: God gives out Wisdom free, is plainspoken in Knowledge and Understanding. He's a rich mine of Common Sense for those who live well, a personal bodyguard to the candid and sincere. He keeps his eye on all who live honestly, and pays special attention to his loyally committed ones."
"It is not enough to have a good mind; the main thing is to use it well." (Rene Descartes)
"We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is a habit." (Socrates)
(on learning anything) There is a better way than any of those [teaching methods] and one which is generally overlooked - it consists in the desire to learn. (Rousseau)
