Good morning my friends, warm greetings to all of you in the Hive Learners community. Meet again with me 
On this auspicious occasion, I am back here to greet you in an excellent contest held by the Hive Learners community. This contest is very interesting because here we can share our opinions and experiences with each other on various issues according to the themes given in each edition, thus adding a lot of insight and understanding to us in writing. For that it's a shame if we miss it. Without realizing it, we have now entered the 50th week and in this first edition we will discuss something good, namely about what we prepare before we take an exam. Surely we are no strangers to the word exam because everyone has certainly taken an exam. Because sometimes the test becomes a final determining test for us in serving something. For that we will definitely prepare as best as possible so that we do not fail in undergoing the test. We will do many ways and there will definitely be the easiest way for everyone. Therefore I will share my own experience in preparing for the exam that I will face.
The exam is one of the last stages that we often have to go through before we go to the next level or to complete a certain stage we have to take the exam first. During this life, there must be many tests that we have passed, starting from exams at school, exams at college, maybe even exams when we want to apply for a job, everything must pass through the stages of the exam before we get to the next stage. There are various kinds of tests we may have passed such as written exams, oral exams and even practical exams for those who need them. Of course all of these exams require preparation from us in advance so that we can get maximum results without any preparation we will definitely be overwhelmed when taking the exam. Therefore preparation is one of the most important things for us before taking an exam.
We can do a lot of preparation before taking the exam, starting from mental preparation so that we can go through it smoothly without any burden, as well as preparing our minds so that we are able to master the exam material that will be given. Everyone has their own way of preparing themselves before taking the exam. Without preparation, most of the exams that will be taken will be in vain because we will definitely be very overwhelmed and we may not know what kind of exam material we have to face. It's possible that we don't need to do any preparation before the exam as long as we have the answer key from the exam we're going to take, of course that's something that's impossible, but it doesn't rule out if we have an insider. Hahaha,, I'm just kidding. But for now we will discuss about the preparation that I will do before taking the exam that I have faced.
As time goes by, the way we do it is definitely developing in a better direction, that's how I feel. In the past, I often felt afraid when I was going to face exams because I was afraid I would get a bad grade, so I would study desperately as much as possible a week before the exam would take place because I used to be a diligent student and liked to pay attention to lessons, but I couldn't always be good at all lessons so there were some lessons that required me to study extra so I was able to master the lesson. However, my way of studying used to be less effective because I pushed myself too hard so that sometimes I couldn't maximize myself in studying.
For now I understand the concept of learning quite a bit, it's not just about perseverance and forcing myself to learn as much as possible but more importantly how effectively we study. Therefore, usually before taking the exam, I will choose a number of topics that are likely to be included in the exam after that. I will try to share my study time, usually I often study after noon before a bit late in the afternoon when all my activities are finished or sometimes I will study in the morning when my mind is still fresh. Many say that studying in the morning is good because our brains are new. work after resting all night. I still often study a week before the exam will be held but I prefer to put the time that I think is good for me to study. Before my exam, sometimes I will look for a grid of questions related to the exam I will take, even though the grid of questions is not necessarily the same as the exam questions I will take, but the grid of questions can give me a little idea how about the exam questions that I will face. One of the things that I think is important before we take the exam is to pray to God Almighty by praying it can give us peace of mind and give us confidence from the learning outcomes that we have lived so far.
I think studying before exams is very important, but we must have an effective study method, don't just learn all the lessons we have studied before without knowing which one is more important. Learning is also very important to recall what we have learned before so that we can remember it better. We also have to look at examples of questions more often, because by training ourselves with existing examples of questions it will give us a little idea of the exams we will face so that it will make us better prepared to take the exams. lastly, don't forget to pray because praying will make our way easier.
That's all from me, I hope to be able to answer the theme of the discussion in this edition about how I prepare before taking an exam. Sorry if there are mistakes in my writing above, I hope it can entertain all readers. Thank you for visiting all of you, have a nice day.
