Have someone feel the wrath of the professor's extreme complications regarding the examinations, whether it may be midterms, finals or just a long, unexpected exam or quiz? This article is intended to you.

THE PROBLEM

Coming soon! SWOT analysis involving student and his academic ability.

This stage of academic learning is by far the most difficult at the same time harsh considering the standards of learning is slowly but surely increasing level by level that in case a student leaves one person behind, all of what seems a knowledge is deceivingly gone.

The challenge is so excessive that one must cope up with the recent lessons that are popping up constantly and that certainty is the thing that keeps the academic craze going. However, there are some adjustments on the person's lifestyle that is badly needed to go on with the trend.

With the most difficult of challenges raises problems. Most college students of all types particularly those courses with board examinations (accounting, engineering, nursing, etc...) typically spend the whole time in the evening reviewing the discussed lectures and discover the ones related to it. That is worth the sacrifice though, screwing the biological body clock with severe intake of coffee are disregard in exchange with the sweet perspiration of success.

Now, here's the problem. There are two extremes that a student faces when studying that is crucial in the exams. It's either 'too much' or 'too few'. These are referred to the time as well as the substance and brain absorption of the matter. Worse is that, with technicalities, long problems for solving and the complicated rare words will induce the nightmare that graduation will be delayed for a specific period of time.

That's one big problem

THE ROOT OF THE PROBLEM

The root of the problem is coherent with this magic word: "TIME MANAGEMENT." This kind of strategy is vital to the things that goes according to plan. Likewise, studying in a specific, limited time is also essential to the matter.

However, the time management policy is rarely to be observed because of two things: temptation, and laziness. These two disadvantages are conniving one after the other, and suddenly consume a person completely, making him or her unproductive to do the supposedly activities that are supposedly set smoothly. 

Yeah indeed. He nails it.

Let us say, that an accounting student reviews for an exam tomorrow. The problem is that, the one who review fails to do one thing: practice mock-ups. That involves practice problems of all sorts like auditing problems, financial accounting volumes 1-3, management accounting services, taxation, and other accounting-related lessons that are as crucial as the theories that technical in nature and were stipulated by different organizations like IPPF and IFRS.

Combine theories and problems will equal to the total insanity to the accounting students that were doing their part in order to achieve the goals they desire. But, how about solving a long problem with all of those digits in a given limited amount of time? Is that answerable?

There are also assumptions and multiple choices that one perceive as correct, will be find out as a wrong answer later on. Why would that be? Because all answers were correct, only looking for the best one.

Or,

The difference on the words that are unnoticeable will surely caught a student who get an exam like true/false or multiple choice getting a wrong answer.

Such kind of errors are needed to be solved in a form of a solution that lasts for a lifetime.

SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM

The solution to an impending problem regarding the growing concern of examination failures are indeed far more radical than the traditional form of studying. One of which is to experiment to an effective study technique and will be effective permanently if such technique works perfectly. However, it comes with a cost of failing at the first part.

The best and effective form of solving such problem will vary from person to person regarding their lifestyle, principles, and needs. Furthermore, one will need a SWOT (Strength, Weakness, Opportunities, and Threats) analysis, make an alternative courses of action regarding the problem, find a recommendation, set a schedule and apply it immediately.

Also, discipline is needed to do such endeavor in the tasks given. Although difficult at first, it will eventually go on until it will be part of the norms that are more beneficial to all people who badly need it, particularly students.

RESOLUTION

Simply speaking, the point of the whole problem involving academic study is indeed easy to say, but difficult to maneuver. The technicalities of the standards, the complications in the equations, derivations and the like, plus the factors like temptations and laziness, will surely put the students at the wrong direction. But then again, one thing is certain to the conditions of each of the stakeholders involved in this kind of academic story, which is at the end of the day, all of us will be meeting our goals and will satisfy ourselves.
