Hi. My name is Christian Pan with and I'm a
- 00:02 - 00:06
tutor. If I London this short video is to ensure
- 00:06 - 00:09
you understand exactly why it's in your interest to complete
- 00:09 - 00:11
your course exam after this video.
- 00:12 - 00:14
I want you to really consider when the devil is
- 00:14 - 00:16
when you're going to sit it because, you know it
- 00:17 - 00:19
could make a massive difference to your past result.
- 00:20 - 00:22
So, firstly, I want you to imagine you've just finished
- 00:22 - 00:26
situation phase on these beauty.
- 00:26 - 00:28
Start entering your mind as to whether or not you
- 00:28 - 00:31
should be completed completing your course exam because the deadline's
- 00:31 - 00:32
been said it's looming on.
- 00:33 - 00:35
You're not sure what you should do, and your preference
- 00:36 - 00:37
obviously is to.
- 00:37 - 00:39
I need to start going back to my notes and
- 00:39 - 00:40
really understand the technical knowledge.
- 00:41 - 00:43
Stop what you're doing on Listen up for a second.
- 00:44 - 00:46
I want to prove to you that it's a massive
- 00:46 - 00:48
interest that you go ahead and do your course exam
- 00:49 - 00:51
on to not miss what is a crucial opportunity.
- 00:52 - 00:53
So why should you do it?
- 00:54 - 00:57
This is the main reason it makes a massive difference
- 00:58 - 01:00
to the chances of you passing your final exam.
- 01:01 - 01:04
These results are from about 500 students completing our last
- 01:05 - 01:05
set of exams.
- 01:06 - 01:08
As you can see from here, it makes a huge
- 01:08 - 01:11
difference as to whether you pass or it's not gonna
- 01:11 - 01:14
pass. Attempt all of your courses, all of your exams
- 01:15 - 01:16
not necessarily cause exam, but all exams.
- 01:17 - 01:19
So that would be, let's, say, course examining the mock
- 01:19 - 01:22
exams whether you decided to miss one if you decide
- 01:22 - 01:24
to miss two or if you decided to knock a
- 01:24 - 01:27
plea any off your own course exams, look at those
- 01:27 - 01:28
pass rates and look how much of a difference it
- 01:29 - 01:30
makes. It is really important.
- 01:31 - 01:33
Now, Why does this make such a big difference?
- 01:34 - 01:36
And why is it there could be such differences in
- 01:36 - 01:37
these past rates?
- 01:37 - 01:38
Well, let's explain for a few things.
- 01:39 - 01:41
Firstly, when you sit a course exam, first thing you're
- 01:41 - 01:43
going to do is you're gonna pick up new knowledge.
- 01:43 - 01:46
Yes, really pick up new knowledge because although it is
- 01:46 - 01:49
really difficult when you set a course exam to record
- 01:50 - 01:53
and remember everything you've just learned, it's the second process.
- 01:53 - 01:56
After you completed eggs after you tried to record information,
- 01:57 - 01:58
when you then go and fill it back in with
- 01:58 - 02:01
the debrief that really strengthen those memories.
- 02:02 - 02:04
In fact, actually, the recording process itself, even though it's
- 02:05 - 02:06
really difficult, a little bit, let's say, like training a
- 02:06 - 02:09
muscle, it makes a massive difference to those existing memories
- 02:10 - 02:10
that you have.
- 02:10 - 02:13
So not only when you come to you sound will
- 02:13 - 02:16
you sometimes improve your knowledge, because you'll go to, let's
- 02:16 - 02:19
say solutions and it will strengthen stuff you've really got
- 02:19 - 02:23
there. The second thing is ill, sometimes correct knowledge that
- 02:23 - 02:24
you'd actually encoded wrong.
- 02:24 - 02:26
Maybe you misunderstood it, and as a result, going through
- 02:27 - 02:30
the solutions, you understand now how you should actually have
- 02:30 - 02:30
applied it.
- 02:30 - 02:33
I actually remembered a particular theory, model or formula.
- 02:34 - 02:36
The third thing is, sometimes the answers provide you new
- 02:37 - 02:38
brand new knowledge.
- 02:39 - 02:40
Now, how does that happen?
- 02:40 - 02:43
Well, of course, a number of our questions in the
- 02:43 - 02:47
account Seaworld there quite often based on businesses in different
- 02:47 - 02:50
industries, and not all of the course notes will cover
- 02:50 - 02:52
every type of business in every type of industry.
- 02:52 - 02:56
However, of course, learning by doing and looking at the
- 02:56 - 02:59
application in different industries and different firms from the answer's
- 02:59 - 03:01
quite often there is little gems little nuggets that just
- 03:02 - 03:03
simply don't exist in anyone's course notes.
- 03:04 - 03:06
So that is another great reason to do it.
- 03:06 - 03:09
It will strengthen and widen your knowledge beyond what you
- 03:09 - 03:11
probably have gathered gathered from your course notes.
- 03:11 - 03:13
In fact, I could bet on it.
- 03:13 - 03:15
The second thing, of course, is exam technique.
- 03:15 - 03:17
Now this is quite often under played by students.
- 03:18 - 03:20
They often believe that as long as they know everything
- 03:21 - 03:22
off course, they'll be able to perform in the day.
- 03:22 - 03:23
They will be absolutely fine.
- 03:24 - 03:26
The reality is, a lot of the papers are hugely
- 03:26 - 03:27
time pressured.
- 03:27 - 03:31
This means that operationally you need to be very, very
- 03:31 - 03:32
effective to get through these exams.
- 03:33 - 03:34
Knowledge is a stepping stone.
- 03:35 - 03:36
It's a really important one.
- 03:36 - 03:39
You do need to have good not excellent but good
- 03:39 - 03:42
knowledge. The next part, however, is then becoming really proficient
- 03:43 - 03:44
in exactly how you're going to lay in.
- 03:45 - 03:45
Communicate out your answers.
- 03:46 - 03:48
So whether that's laying out performer in, let's say, double
- 03:49 - 03:51
quick time, whether it's laying out of model or whether
- 03:51 - 03:54
it is making sure that you can read and assimilate
- 03:54 - 03:57
all the information that's been given, these are crucial skills
- 03:57 - 03:59
that you can only do through practice, and if you
- 03:59 - 04:02
leave into the exam, it can really make a massive
- 04:02 - 04:03
difference to you.
- 04:03 - 04:04
Be able to pass.
- 04:05 - 04:07
The final thing, of course, is focus as a result
- 04:07 - 04:09
of doing a course exam.
- 04:09 - 04:10
Getting the feedback.
- 04:11 - 04:12
This is a chance for you to then learn about
- 04:13 - 04:14
what, actually or where.
- 04:14 - 04:16
You have some deficiencies, so you can then change the
- 04:16 - 04:18
way you can to approach the rest of your revision
- 04:19 - 04:20
on preparation for your real exam.
- 04:21 - 04:22
That again, it's just part of, let's say, the learning
- 04:22 - 04:23
cycle, right?
- 04:23 - 04:26
So you go put things into practice, you learn, you
- 04:26 - 04:28
learn exactly what you're missing, A where you deficient so
- 04:28 - 04:30
that you can then improve upon it and make yourself
- 04:30 - 04:32
harder, stronger, faster for the real example.
- 04:33 - 04:34
Are there any other benefits?
- 04:34 - 04:37
Plenty. The other thing is, of course, the information that
- 04:37 - 04:39
it gives us or as a result of getting your
- 04:39 - 04:40
information in it doesn't matter whether it's good.
- 04:41 - 04:41
Doesn't matter where it's bad.
- 04:42 - 04:44
It allows us to benchmark you compare you to piers
- 04:44 - 04:48
on. Most importantly, allow us to get in contact with
- 04:48 - 04:50
you to offer you support if you need it.
- 04:50 - 04:53
So again, if you have performed really, really poorly, we
- 04:53 - 04:55
can certainly pick up the phone email.
- 04:55 - 04:57
I get in contact with you and provide you the
- 04:57 - 05:00
exact kind of say support or information that you need
- 05:00 - 05:02
to ensure you on the right path to passing.
- 05:03 - 05:06
The last thing, of course, here we can also think
- 05:06 - 05:07
about is, of course, the feedback.
- 05:08 - 05:10
Now that feedback we talked about earlier just as being
- 05:10 - 05:12
part of the learning cycle, the most important thing about
- 05:12 - 05:15
this is thinking of it as a diagnosis tool so
- 05:15 - 05:17
wrong. Think of your like course exams as a hurdle
- 05:18 - 05:19
that you have to kind of hit and pass.
- 05:19 - 05:20
And if you don't, it'll be really embarrassing.
- 05:21 - 05:24
And, you know, you just don't want to show that
- 05:24 - 05:25
you're weak or anything like that.
- 05:25 - 05:26
I think of it more like What if I don't
- 05:27 - 05:27
do this?
- 05:27 - 05:29
I'll never know what it is that I'm meant to
- 05:29 - 05:29
be. Getting.
- 05:29 - 05:32
Stronger, harder, faster, better at think of it as a
- 05:32 - 05:33
diagnosis tool.
- 05:33 - 05:35
Use it to then go and revisit on.
- 05:35 - 05:37
Think about what else you need to improve upon.
- 05:38 - 05:42
So in short, if that's the case and you really
- 05:42 - 05:43
keen to then going to your closet.
- 05:43 - 05:45
Damn! What should you actually be doing next to make
- 05:46 - 05:47
sure that you're ready for this course exam?
- 05:48 - 05:49
First thing is, obviously, listen to your tutor.
- 05:50 - 05:51
They would have left you at the end, of course,
- 05:52 - 05:54
probably with the list of homework on a list of
- 05:54 - 05:55
actions for you to kind of go around.
- 05:56 - 05:56
Do next.
- 05:56 - 05:59
Definitely listen to them, follow their guidance on try and
- 05:59 - 05:59
Do That.
- 06:00 - 06:02
They were usually contain these steps that would usually complete
- 06:03 - 06:03
all outstanding homework.
- 06:04 - 06:06
And that's because sometimes you don't have time to cover
- 06:06 - 06:07
absolutely everything in class.
- 06:08 - 06:10
Or maybe you've covered the concept, but to really hammer
- 06:10 - 06:10
it home.
- 06:11 - 06:13
There's some specific questions as part of your homework to
- 06:13 - 06:16
make sure that you've got, ah, wider, deeper understanding that
- 06:16 - 06:17
isn't just, let's say one dimensional.
- 06:18 - 06:19
The next thing within.
- 06:19 - 06:22
Typically be get into the questions, of course, to since
- 06:22 - 06:22
you tutor.
- 06:23 - 06:26
But once you've exhausted that off course, start hitting question
- 06:26 - 06:29
banks questions, you know, parts, papers, anything that you can
- 06:29 - 06:30
get your hands on to.
- 06:30 - 06:32
Then get some experience and that will help you look
- 06:33 - 06:33
so pick up you.
- 06:33 - 06:36
Let's say you like new knowledge, but also practice your
- 06:36 - 06:39
exam technique as a result of that, Don't forget.
- 06:39 - 06:42
The next thing is to then take that feedback, learn
- 06:42 - 06:45
from your mistakes and then really focus on your weaknesses.
- 06:45 - 06:47
So again, those questions will they do they allow you
- 06:47 - 06:49
to recalibrate on?
- 06:49 - 06:51
Really think about actually not just stuff.
- 06:51 - 06:52
Oh, I'm familiar with that.
- 06:52 - 06:54
Therefore, I should be okay with it, but actually can
- 06:55 - 06:57
I Let's say demonstrate that can bring that knowledge back
- 06:57 - 07:01
out. The feedback from these from these papers and from
- 07:01 - 07:03
going through and debriefing solutions allows you to their focus
- 07:04 - 07:06
properly. On your weakness is the last thing I want
- 07:06 - 07:08
to give to you is just a really big message
- 07:08 - 07:10
of good luck on go for it.
- 07:12 - 07:12
Any questions?
- 07:13 - 07:14
Make sure you reach out to your tutor.
- 07:14 - 07:15
It's been lovely speaking today.
- 07:16 - 07:16
Take care.
