my thoughts on exams

It is that time of the school year when students must take exams. Personally, for me, I am terrified of exams for several reasons. Well for one, in many cases exams do not really challenge ''how smart you are'' but rather it tests how well you can memorise what you have studied. Not to generalize, but a quiet large of students cram dozens of information regarding a specific topic just 1 day before the actually. Not saying I do this, but I am guilty for not managing my exam studying schedule effectively. I tend to underestimate the work load and this frightens me to the exent I start to panic and studying becomes even more difficult! Since some of my class mates might read this, I thought it would be a good idea to provide a link that has useful studying tips : http://www.cod.edu/people/faculty/fancher/study.htm
