I have not tried it but I am already not taking a liking to it, no less am I anticipating to sit for it on Tues.
Gah! <-- Super super random note:
Have you heard/ watched Lady Gaga's Bad Romance? I got one word for it, FUHHHHLAMAK.
Here are some tips for a buka buku ujian- not tips for IO ah, although I would very much like to get my hands on some tips:
Preparing for an Open Book Test
- Read the chapters ahead of time. Don't expect to find quick answers during the test.
- Know where to find everything. Observe headings and sub-headings and make your own outline. This reinforces the structure of the text in your mind.
- Mark all important terms with sticky notes and flags. If the teacher allows it, mark your texts wherever you notice important concepts and terms.
- Review lecture notes for themes. Your teacher's lectures usually provide an overview of the themes and concepts that appear on tests. You won't always get this by reviewing the book alone.
- Make your own notes if allowed, and write down important formulas or concepts that you’ve covered in class.
During the Open Book Test
The first thing you need to do is evaluate each question. Ask yourself if each question asks for facts or interpretation.
The questions that ask you to provide facts may be easier and faster to answer. Those will start with expressions like:
"List five reasons . . .?"
"What events led up to. . .?"
Some students like to answer these questions first, then go on to the more time-consuming questions that require more thought and concentration.
As you answer each question, you will need to quote the book when appropriate to back up your thoughts. Be careful, though. Only quote three to five words at a time. Otherwise, you will fall into the trap of copying answers from the book--and you'll lose points for that.
More here and here.
And I still got 5 pages of Caffeine and Motivation paper to write. Suicide ah suicide.
