Well sometime you get great post from someone in OURAeSI and vladimir mclousky was one of them who has posted some good things in OURAeSI. One of the gem that i enjoyed while in my aesi days is the one i reprinting it here. Its great.
With AMAeSI examination just right the corner, all those who are giving exams do read how to fail your exams!!!
Play it by the ear : No need to plan for the exam.
Don’t revise : If you don’t know it, revision is a waste of time. If you do know it, why bother to revise.
Aim to just pass : No wasted effort needed.
Don’t learn exam techniques : Exams are bad enough without learning techniques as well.
Do not anticipate questions : You may be wrong and just waste time.
Don’t read previous papers of examination : Why burn the midnight lamp and waste your oil!!
Just do first five questions : The format hardly matters, all questions are bad anyway.
Don’t worry about the actual questions : Its more interesting to write what you want, and show the examiner, you know the subject what its all about.
Ignore the instructions : They only put you off.
Don’t check the time : You could write a few more words instead.
Never check answers : There will only be a few minors’ errors.
Always start with introduction and end with summary : That way you can forget about the middle.
If in doubt, waffle : The examiner will probably think you know it all and have done it all.
Be disorganized : You can always get a pen from invigilator.
Don’t bother with question numbers : It will be obvious which question you are answering.
Have a little drink just before the exam : it helps you relax and prevent you from over stress.
Include a note to the examiner wishing him/her happy year and explain how pressured you have been : examiners are human and a bit of flattering never goes a miss !!!
cheeeeeeeers and all the best to all of you...
