每个人在学ACCA的过程当中都会遇到各种问题,其实这些并不全部是因为A考本身难度太大了,也可能是因为你在学习ACCA的时候没有形成好的学习习惯!以下几个错误的备考习惯,快来看看,引以为戒吧!
1.Environment
I once had a lady in my class who could put on her headphones,crank up the music and study.She passed all her exams.BUT I
have a feeling that she is in the minority.Make sure your study environment is without distractions,quiet,and that the climate is just right.
2.Don’t get overwhelmed
A lecturer once asked us,‘How do you eat an elephant?’we all looked at him,looked at each other and shrugged our shoulders.He answered,‘Bit by bit.’Don’t get overwhelmedby all the information you have,thinking that you HAVE to learn itall immediately.
3.Having your mobile phone on
Study time is meant for just that.Make it clear to your loved ones that for these few hours,unless the house is on fire,you should not be bothered.A mobile phone is a terrible distraction.Switch it off!
4.Cramming in too much data
Not to sound political,because I am not,but a
lecturer once said to me,‘Why do you think that X party is so successful?’His answer was‘Because the day after the elections,they start again.’So don’t cram months of lectures into a week of learning.Work through it methodically.
5.Procrastination
I’ll do it tomorrow,I’ll do it later.Guys–make a timetable and stick to it.The“pain of sitting revising for a few hours and sticking to your timetable is a lot less pain than you will feel later down theline when you have months of lectures to learn in a week.
6.Pulling all-nighters
We are human;we need to rest,enjoy the company of our loved ones,go to work,and fulfil our obligations.Planning a study session that will require you to study all night,or most of the night is a plan for failure.The secret is to plan ahead,a sound plan goes a long way.
7.Reconstructing all your notes
Flash Cards are great for remembering key points on a subject.Don’t copy out entire sections of your notes–it’s wasting valuable time.Learn the basics and your studying will be complete after you answer practice questions,questions and more questions.
8.Looking at the practice answer before
attempting to answer the practice question
Best practice is:read over your notes,the requirement,and the passage,attempt to write as much as possible,then use your notes as a supplement,then look at the answer.I guarantee that the second time you attempt the questions you will not need your notes or the answer.
9.Having a heavy meal
Having a heavy meal before study is not
recommended.You will feel uncomfortable and agitated.Your body as well as your mind both need to be in the right frame.So have a light meal,wait a little time to digest it–and then hit the books.
10.Not believing in yourself
This is not a study tip,or something to be avoided,but I would like to leave you with this message;there are no failures,
only outcomes.Maybe that outcome was not what you expected,but that makes it even more important than ever to believe in yourself.You can achieve anything you put your mind to.
