DAYS AND WEEKS BEFORE THE EXAM

-


One of the most important factors in exam success is knowing when to start your revision. Many Moi university students put it off until the last minute and then panic. They won't do very well!
It is much better to start too early than too late. You have the option of taking days off here and there if you start early but if you start late then you will find it very difficult to make up the time.
The main methods of revision tend to be either reading through the subject, writing notes on the subject, doing past questions and exam papers or a mixture of all three. Each of these methods has its good and its bad points but none of them provide a fool proof method of making sure you know everything you need to know.
Don't let anyone tell you how to revise. Your lecturers are bound to make suggestions and some may be quite insistent that you follow their methods to the letter. Take their advice by all means but if you find a method of revising that suits you and seems to work then stick to it. Only you are in a position to decide on the method that suits you best.
Start your revision at least 2-3 months before your exams are due to start. This will ensure that you won't have a last minute rush and you will be able to take the odd day off without upsetting your revision programme.
Don't spend hours and hours a day revising. If you start in plenty of time then two to three hours of revision a day should be ample to get you prepared for the exams.
Be disciplined in your work and don't keep putting your revision off. If you find it difficult to get down to work then set aside a couple of hours at the same time each day for revision and make sure you stick to them whatever happens. If necessary get a friend or relative to make sure you keep at it. Making your work part of a regular routine makes it easier to get it done and out of the way rather than having it hanging over you all day.
The human mind is only capable of concentrating and absorbing information efficiently for 30-45 minutes at a time. So revise for a bit, then take a short break, then do another spell of revision, then break again and so on. This will be much more effective than sitting down and trying to work for hours upon end. Remember the quality of your revision is just as important as the quantity.

HELB SHOCKER TO THE STUDENTS

Mr. Charles Ringera the Chief Executive Officer has issued a rather controversial order that no graduate will enter the job market without producing the clearance certificate from helb. The policy which is in the making and can be implemented very soon will affect many students in Moi University since majority of students relies on helb for education support. Any graduate who wants to be employs will be recurred to produce a clearance certificate from helb or have a part with K sh 1000 in order to get the certificate to either prove that the graduate is servicing the loan or has cleared it before being allowed to start a job. This rule will apply to both helb beneficiary and non-beneficiaries. The news is not likely to be received by students. How can one be expected to pay the loan without getting the job first? Is helb a help or a hell?

CAMPUS PEER PRESSURE.

Peer pressure is a venom that kills the morality of many campus students. The most surprising fact is that no matter how bad the morality health is deteriorating, no one seems to care enough to get antidotes but continue to pump in more and more killer venom into their veins and their blood becomes full of it. In basic physics, when you stretch a spiral ring past the limit point it loses its function.  It’s funny on how many guys in campus will enjoy their lives to the fullest without having to boast of how many girls they had themselves involved with sexually or how many bashes and shisha parties they are going to attend and smoke? If so did you see them die? And how many girls do you know of that leave campus while still virgins?  As much as what I have talked about might not be much, consider chances of heavy drinking, dating lecturers and smuggling drugs. One should think of where they come from and where they are heading to. Some campus guys end up using even their school fe
