受験生と来年受験生となる学生へ

Entrance exam is like a marathon that requires a long period of training and hard work. Mentality is greatly tested during this period. Patience, sacrifice, dedication, and determination are keys to getting oneself well prepared. Sometimes, students may get drained from the moment when they don’t see improvements on test results. Sometimes, they may feel they don’t have enough time to remember what they need to study. Pressure from parents and pier students competition must be a great load for them. Fear of not passing exams is always around. 

Considering all the psychological battles, keeping the right mentality is extremely difficult. Therefore, I would like to give advice to students who are going to prepare for entrance exams. First of all, make a schedule for exams. Then, make short term plans associated with goals that you want to accomplish for every subject. Take English for example, you can make a detailed weekly plan such as memorizing 100 vocabularies, reading 5 articles on news sites, writing 2 paragraphs about the news you have read, and listening to English pod cast for 20 minutes every day. You stick with the plan. 

Studying without plans will make you wander off the path and get lost in the process. That’s why making and following study plan is essential. As you study while following the plans, you will develop a steadfast study habit and unwavering confidence. As long as your study plans are in order and meet your goals, you’ll see improvement in results. Then, you will be able to find yourself fully confident on examination day. So be prepared. There’s no time to waste. Put aside your gaming controller, grab a pencil and do your work. Good luck!
