Hi, this is KB again. Let's discuss planning for an exam. As we discussed last time, you need to review the entire text. When you look this over, you need to develop a feasible time plan that allows to review ALL the material. Any goal you set must be realistic and achievable in your time plan. In fact, you should review your goals daily to ensure they you are moving forward with your plan.
Blackboard is a good place to post study questions on exam materials because you may find other students have many of the same questions. However, it is important that you understand the material in your texts. This should not be a problem if you have managed to do the assignments. The study skills tutor can assist you with keeping on top of your goals if you have problems in this regard. She can also phone you via Skype to keep you on top of your progress toward the exam and make suggestions if you are having problems in studying.
Take out a daytime planner and divide your text up into portions for review purposes. I strongly urge students to vary their routine to keep themselves alert. Not only should you search for themes in the texts, you should consider the kind of questions that might appear on the exam. When you run into difficulty with your goals, it is often because they are not realistic and achievable. Remember a goal is "a dream with a deadline". Your deadline is the date of the exam. Your goal is to succeed in passing them.
