 Re: focus

Oh, so Liao that is where the risk factor comes in then?

Brilliant scores sometimes ( 1st out of 200 ) and then average scores sometimes.

Well, it is not bad, in my view that such a thing might happen.

What if you scored 1st all the time in a group of 1st class honor students? My God. You might think yourself infallible!

Whereas some people might say you should focus I think that during studies you should have parts of relaxation and fun (perhaps you already do ). I think , if it is your personality make up, that the parts which are funky need expression. I mean whatever is your equivalent of the 'rock band in the garage' thing...something you can dip into quickly without having to invest plenty serious group time , as coordinating groups take up a lot of time.

You like the intellectual life... me, I am getting stuff together to attend a first time beach campout..wondering if I will like it...set up tent, blow up air mattress, carry food, carry flashlight.......

"I am a sort of unlucky person who has been known to convert victory into defeat, and lose focus in the most important of times."

Exam results which determine success or failure after years of study drive me nuts. One's overall, consistent effort and results are important. The assignments one completes to demonstrate comprehension of the discipline should be weighted in the overall evaluation, plus oral-conversation/exam which demonstrates on the spot understanding of the problem.

Liao, the intellectuals on this forum should talk to you about how they focus/ed for exams - or recommend that their students focus.

I am afraid I would lead you down the wrong path suggesting you come to watch the sunset from the beach - where we will talk about cosmic stuff - or just gaze silently at the sunset.

Other people on this forum are better guides than me on how to focus for exams. Some are professional academics and have even set the questions for the exam papers and then graded the exam papers. Perhaps they may weigh in with helpful suggestions.

Most of all, I am glad to know you are not perfect, Liao. Very smart, yes, but not perfect ^<>^ (yet) LMHO.

Joy
