I've had a bigger share of exams over the last two years than I had in the 20 years before and honestly I really hate it. But as the system of education has been changing a lot over last couple of years, the shift has come more and more towards that a lot of a exams are being held 'formative'. As in...you just have to be there and go through the exam, but there is no number of passing in it.
No really my style, I do like a benchmark of realising if you master the skill or not. As in...just being there and participating seems a little bit too much of a freebie move.

What I have noticed if the difference of how I have been studying over the last couple of years has changed so much. Back in the days I was just able to memorize stuff, but with that money brain that crack ain't working so sharp anymore.
So I need to work the material to shove it in the brain. And as it always was the deal with calculating stuff, you just measure and calculate and by the time you understand how it works... Thats is when you have the skill mastered.
It doesn't always work like that unfortunately
I wish it was still the case like that. When I was learning the boat theoretics last year this was also the deal. You need to understand how you get your boat from a to be, and when it is there it is there.
But it doesn't work like that in this upcoming exam with the 'explain the 8 factors on...' which means you need to reproduce the 8 factors. Which means you need to know the 8 factors. And that is where my brain tends to stop participating.

Because knowing those factors means you have to study them to plant them all in your head. And that studying...that is where I am procastination. I have tried reserving dedicated time in my agenda, I have tried having it ready and opening it up, all just to notice that there are 10.000 things I would be doing rather than studying. Guess what I should be doing now while I am writing this post.
Exactly, the study material is also opened up, but I really am ignoring it. Just as when everything is set to go, that I look at the dishes and I would rather do them, or look at the yard and rather would clean up the yard.
It is the starting of the study that I am procastinating, and there is potentially so much distraction if you want to see it, and I am currently seeing it everywhere.
I also know that it will all be fine and eventually my grade will be just fine because I am full on in the material. But the ego also wants a decent grade...which means the ego needs to put the procastination aside to get the job done...
Let's see if there some other distracting chore to do before I really get on the study again..... because you can keep ignoring it.... 'Hey...see that bird there???...'
