another year of college entrance exam is around the corner. what was your experience like taking part in the cllege entrance exam? how much effrt did you ut into it? were you satisfied with the result? it happened to me many years ago but i can remember that very clearly because i couldn't sleep very well during the colege entrance exam i reember i can do something to adjust for relaxing myself i do some sports even before the coming exma i still remember my parents they do everything for me by hte way i have a good result while it is just the beginning doubtlesslyy, the result was not ideal so even i put too much effort into it no good result i di't feel very nervous at that time i just prayed that everythingwould be over asap i was satisfied with the result when admission letter reached me my parents were wild with happiness i suddenly realized that i was not only studying for myself but also for my parents my scccess brought a great honor to my parents that is the best reward to what my parents have done for me in order to bring me up both mentally and physically healthy. so remember not to be nervous before you take part in the exam it is really reallly inportant hte college entrance exam only arounsed the memory of my misery and unfortune but nothing last two years i, however, consider the exam calmly and fairly now nothing deserves my curse on the exam the disapointed outcome absolutey ascribed my ignorance and inability to the failure i have developed a faith fact that hard work leads to succes and effciency is extremerely imprtant for studing

I have never tried taking a college entrance test. Lucky for me because I graduated high school in the same university so us graduates need not take the college entrance test. My cousins from far places( other schools) had to take entrance test, they enrolled in same university as me, they did not prepare a lot because it's really whatyou learned in high school that entrance tests are all about. It's just a matter of having peace of mind and not being tense. They passed except for one. The interviews after the tests are the most toughest.

For many years, I taught a course in test-taking techniques. It worked! Most of my students' test scores went up immediately, and remained up for every test they had to take. The extra accountability school boards want us to place on basic instruction and the one particular test every student must pass with a good score in order to get a diploma have pushed courses such as this out of the curriculum. It's a shame! It's not the most exciting class anyone ever took, but it really works. We teachers are drowning in ridiculous, meaningless paperwork as our students miss out on far too many experiences they should be having in school.
