You are right @ Elom about being too confident when the final examination is approaching.
During my 1st and 2nd year in college, most of the teacher give an examination which is the scope of the whole semesters’ lesson. So I always assume that it was easier because I think that it was just the main topics. After giving the result, I was so embarrassed with the result. Although, it was not failed but it’s below my expectation, therefore, it’s still a failure for me.
Sometimes, we need to broaden our minds when it comes to the scope of final examinations or any examinations that we are taking.
In terms of reviewing, don’t depend on the prior knowledge we have or on our notes’ content. We must allow ourselves to do more reading most especially about the current events in our society, because sometimes, professors will make some questions that are not from the lessons being discussed.
