Why Do Students Fail In Exam

There are good number of reasons why student fail in exam, but I will be dealing on three which I think is the main reason students fail in exam (school)
I. The mind-set:- The mind-set of a student going to write an exam plays a vital role of him or her coming out to be the best or the worst (failure). How is your mind-set when you are preparing to sit for an exam? I want you to be the judge because you know yourself more than anyone, have you decided before or presently to do malpractice? that is taking some material you will use to cheat in the exam hall. Maybe you have the assurance that your best friend or lecturer (teacher) will assist you in the exam hall. If a student have decided to do any of these before taking an exam, he or she is most likely to fail because you may be caught cheating or the supervisor may be too vigilant that you may not be able to cheat, therefore making you to fail the exam, but a student who studies very well will move confidently to the exam coming out successfully. When you have confident on yourself you will not be distracted.

After doing few analyses I discovered that most students, who have a wrong mind-set for their exams, do not bother to study their books because they have confident in their friends and their cheat book which they will use in writing the exam.

2. Bad companionship: I think bad friends can make a student to fail an exam, when you have friends who do not have the zeal to read their books, all they enjoy doing is going for party, smoking, drinking, and chasing women/men those type of students don’t have the time to study their books therefore making him or her to fail in exam.

3. The pattern of reading: - It is believed that reading and studying your books will make you pass your exams. There are those who read but end up with failure, this is where we talk about Five Mechanisms Of Sitting To Read

How do you read your book when preparing for your exams? Some student read a particular topic thinking the question will be taking from the topic they have read, reaching the exam hall they discover they were wrong and that lead to their failure.
As a student, has this post helped you? Check yourself and know where you are wrong, start making things right so you can pass your exams with good grades.

Why Is It Important To GO To SChool

Today I will be telling you "why it is important or necessary to go to school?" A school is an institution where group of people gather to learn and acquire knowledge, there are those who don't want to go to school, just like a friend of my who don't see school as anything good or important, he do say "there are many who went to school to study medicine, law or engineering after graduating they where not able to do the job of a lawyer or a doctor, because they where not enable to get a job, later they end up as a driver or cleaner in the hospital" that is his reason about going to school which is wrong.
          It is important to go to school, though going to school does not guarantee you a big job, where you will be paid fat money into your bank account every day, week or month, their are those who make huge sum of money every day, week or month without even going to school or without even doing what they studied in school, "yes what you are saying is true" I know you will say that, but also have it in mind that school is vital for all whether you are a rich or a poor person.

1) BE FOCUS: Always put your mind towards your goal either to be a lawyer, engineer, accountant etc, always focus on your goal.

2) READ YOUR BOOKS: Reading has always been difficult for many student, i have written on five mechanism of sitting down to read which you can visit here => http://chibenze-alltopic.blogspot.com/2012/06/five-mechanisms-of-sitting-to-read.html?m=1
Note: In post ume exams they only focus on the subjects of the course you intend studying, so it makes it easier for you to study. For those in science and sometimes act try to add little mathematics in your study, because i could remember when i wrote my post ume in uniport (university of portharcourt), medicine and surgery was the course i intend studying, i read my physic, chemistry, english and biology my favorite subject, on the day of my exam i went into the exam hall with boldness, in uniport they write post ume exam on computer not with paper, so i sat down login and start answering the question, to my greatest surprise i saw about 10 maths question and there are about 50 question in all and just 30mins to answer all, that was what reduce my score, so my advise to you is to be time cautious make sure you add a little maths when reading and studying your books.

3) FEAR NOT: Fear is one of the greatest killer for someone who wants to pass his or her post ume, do not be intimidated by the number of people you see writting the same course with you, someone who fear has already been defeated and has already fail 89% of his or her post ume, never you allow fear to over shadow you, because someone who is afraid can never concentrate, try and free your mind, if possible sing inspirational songs, speak to yourself, encourage and give hope to yourself, if you are able to remove fear in you, then you are already on the road to success.

4) ANSWER THE ONES YOU NO: When answering your questions make sure you answer the ones you no first before attempting to answer others.
Note: when answering your questions, make sure you answer your english first before moving to other subject, it is believe and proof that english will help to boost your score, because it is a general subject and a language spoken everytime.

5) FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS: There are instructions in every exam, especially in post ume exam, You have to follow the instructions in other for your work to be accepted, make sure you read the instruction very well before you start answering any question, I will be listing out few instructions, but note they may be different in other university.

Five academic problems students encounter in the classroom

1. SLEEPING IN THE CLASSROOM
This is a very big problem which some students have found themselves in and cannot help it.

CAUSES: People sleep in the classroom especially when the classroom is quiet or it the teacher/lecturer starts teaching and every where becomes quiet, they fall into sleep.

SOLUTION: If you want to stop sleeping in the classroom, you will form the habit of jotting or writing your own personal notes in the class while the lesson is going on. If you are idle or looking at the teacher/lecturer only, you will be tempted to sleep but if your hand is busy in the class, your eyes will know no sleep.

2. ABSENT-MINDEDNESS IN THE CLASSROOM
Some student are always carried away from the classroom when the lecture is going on.
Absent mindedness is a situation where a student will be in the classroom, looking at the teacher/lecturer who is teaching but not seeing the teacher or even hearing from him/her.

CAUSES: Students who always get carried away while having lectures is as a result of thinking about so many things while you are still in the classroom. If you allow so many thoughts to flow into your mind you will start thinking or imaging may be about your house, business, car, children, clothes & fashion, friends etc.

SOLUTION: Students who suffer from this problem should also adopt the habit of jotting or making private notes in the class while learning from the teacher. Two things happens when you are jotting in the classroom as the teacher/lecturer delivers his/her lectures
i) As you are jotting, you are putting your mind, body and soul together towards listening and making meaning out of the lesson.
ii) As your mind, body and soul are together you will gain total concentration and instead of thinking about personal affairs, you will be thinking about what to write from the mouth of the lecturer/teacher.

3. CONFUSION IN THE CLASSROOM
Some students who have suffered confusion in the head while taking lectures/lessons in the class have practically resorted to tiredness and weakness in the class while some others are still strong and capable of listening to more of the lesson. If you stop understanding the lectures, you will get tired of sitting for more of the lessons.

CAUSE: When you miss out of the explanations or procedures given by the lecturer/teacher, you will become confused and it may not be easy for you to come back.

SOLUTION: The skill jotting in the class will go along way to assist you while you are having a lecture/lesson in the class. Three thing jotting can do to stop confusion:
i) As you are writing down the explanations, you will be following the lesson step by step.
ii) Even if you miss out you can easily trace your way back to the root.
iii) You can ask meaningful questions because you will derive it from your jottings.

4. READING WITHOUT UNDERSTANDING
This is the pinching problem that students encounter in their academical life. So many students today like reading but their problem is that they don't understand what they read.

CAUSE: Students who suffer this is as a result of reading text books and note books which they are not familiar with or have no common idea about. If you don't pay attention in the classroom when lecture/lesson is being delivered, you cannot understand the text or note book on that lesson if you are reading it alone.

SOLUTION: You must pay full attention to the lesson while in classroom. You must also form the habit of jotting in class while the lecturer/teacher is explaining.

Three things happens when you are jotting in the classroom.
i) When you are jotting while the lecturer/teacher is explaining, it means you are becoming familiar with words that you will eventually see in text or note book.
ii) As you are jotting down important points of the lecture/lesson, you are developing your understanding abilities over each topic of the text book
iii) Whenever you want to read your book, then bring out the jotter and read it first so that you can transfer whatever you understand from it to the text book because they are saying the same thing.

5. CONCENTRATION IN THE CLASSROOM
So many students cannot concentrate in the class while the lecture/lesson is going. This is because of some certain actions and activities that you perform in the classroom which is ready to distract you completely from the lesson.

CAUSE: When you sit very far from the lecturer/teacher, you may not concentrate fully. And also when the lecture is going, you will be distracted.

SOLUTION: If you want to concentrate in the classroom without distraction, you must learn how to avoid casual discussion in the class while the lecturer/teacher is teaching. Also, you must try and sit closer to the lecturer in the lecture hall so that you can look straight into the eyes of the lecturer/teacher.
