Exams exams exams

I have to prepare for some set of exams and I just can’t be bothered with them. I am supposed to be studying but I just don’t feel motivated. It is times like these that make me see the reality of sz. It’s a tough pill to swallow. These exams are so important and would take me to the next level in my career. Who has tips on studying with sz? Also I felt so depressed last week knowing I have to cross this hurdle. Please any encouragement will help a lot. I have a daily schedule already but I’m having trouble following through on it.

Maybe you could work your way into it gradually. Try skimming over the material and get the easiest material done first. I don’t know if that will work for you, but you might try it.

Thanks, that would be a good idea. The material is so much.

Same here. I have the third actuarial exam soon, and I simply can’t get started. I sit every day, but the mental effort required to learn something dissuades me. I think closer to the exam there will be fear of failure, and in that state I can hyperfocus perhaps.

I have fear of failure almost everyday and there’s still months to my exams. It turns me into a mess. I wish you the best with your preparation though. Hopefully we both pass our exams.

Thanks for wishing me the best.

I drink a lot of coffee and smoke cigarettes to get started.

I think it is tough to do all this with this illness.

What type of exams are you taking? I am taking the third actuarial exam. It is not that hard, but I have lost a lot of mental speed over the years. And, this exam is all about speed.

I’m taking the US medical licensing exam. It’s a big deal for doctors. There are two steps and I’m just in step 1. I recently just decided to take the exam to go to the US to practice medicine. Many of my friends have passed the exams. I’m quite late in taking it though but it’s better late than never.

That is cool. It means you are a doctor. I could never be a doctor because my memory was always subpar.

Well, you are functioning well since you are already a doctor. It is good to know.

Small chunks of info. Then a break. Then try again

I take notes to study and read over and over until I feel I’ve got a grip on the exam. I’ll go through books and write down notes too. I hope you pass. Hugs
