Preface
My story… exam success in 2 days:
My journey to exam success started at 2:00 am one cold winter night, I had awoken to a pain in my abdomen like I had never experienced before. I quietly crept downstairs as to not wake my two year old son and called the emergency doctor who after repeatedly telling me to press where it hurt with a finger, gave me a diagnosis over the phone.
I’m 75% sure that your appendix is about to burst
he concluded but it is late and I really don’t want to come out; you had better pop yourself along to Hospital
.
I quickly threw on some clothes, and grabbed my revision folder to read on the way out of the house. I had recently failed this exam. In fact I had failed this exam three times. But that wasn’t important because it was a stupid exam anyway and I didn’t really want it that badly. Finally getting around to reading all of the course material seemed marginally better than being bored out of my mind whilst I waited to be seen by a doctor.
Somehow I managed to drive myself along the six mile journey to my closest hospital. A three hour wait in the Hospital emergency room later confirmed the doctor’s worst fears, acute appendicitis, and I was operated on within the hour.
One emergency appendicectomy, eleven stitches and a four inch scar later I awoke to find out I would most likely be in hospital for a few days to recover and to give the doctors a chance to see if there was any sign of infection.
I decided to put my previous exam failures behind me and vowed that this time would be different. I decided there and then that I would learn ‘how to learn’ and build on my failures, after all a failure isn’t final, giving up is. It was then I reached for my textbook, and read the material from start to finish, something that I hadn’t managed to do despite three previous unsuccessful exam sittings. Besides, I was confined to a hospital ward for the next few days. What else was I going to do? I read the material cover to cover, wrote and re-wrote key points in a bid to force my brain to remember the material. It was hard work, but it was absolutely worth it.
