Reading books only at the time of exams...

The same topic has several rounds of discussion here and all the time everyone has the same opinion. Reading is one of the main source of input to our knowledge. Though we have more advanced techniques and audio visual methods were adopted, reading has its own importance to brush up our minds. We need to try hard and understand the importance of reading. It has been conventionally proved that it has importance to improve our knowledge and reading will help different levels of improvement and help to think more as well. Thank-s

I read all the time for FUN. I hardly ever read to study and I hate how reading is always connected with studying these days. I'll be reading my high-fantasy novels at the train station and some random person will come by and ask me if I'm studying. I mean... seriously? What's wrong with you people? Reading is fun! I love reading, and I'd choose a good book over movies, television, and even the internet. I'm a college student and I hardly ever read to study. Not that I don't read to study, but somehow I don't see study reading as real reading. I probably study-read more than any of my peers... but I still spend a whole lot more time reading for fun. I make fantastic grades (Straight As most of the time). The way I see it, nothing opens up your imagination or ignites your passion for knowledge like reading... even when you're reading high fantasy novels for fun. So quit contributing to the decline of intelligent society and read a book for fun.

Hi creovation, till the last day of my engineering i taught of doing that by time passed away now i'm planning for my MBA preparation , you know every year i take this as resolution and so at least this year i have to try for it.

Yeah! It's pretty true! Even my younger siblings are doing that as well. They don't value books at all. :(

Is you are sure you learn something from the internet than it is okay. What I a guess that student use be so much online to play games, browsing adult sites etc. If so, then you should hit the books more for your own future.

Yes you are kinda right.. I try to read and use internet equally so I dont lose anything.haha..I still think that we should use books more than the computer tho. let`s make tha right choice!

Hi,you mean those text books. I think reading is very important for everyone of us, from reading, we can be informed so many useful informations. We read newspapers for latest news, read novels to enrich our literature culture, read for some answers for problems we met. So almost all of us read each day for this or that reason. Including we read discussions here in mylot, then give out our responses to make friends and earn side money. So i think reading is very important part of our life. And those who only read books before exams will not get real knowledge.

It is true that a lot of students do this. However, I am a student at the moment, and I know a few people who do read the material before hand, and not just the night before. I usually tried to keep up with my weekly readings for school and such. Although this is true for a lot of students, I wouldn't say that it is the case for all students.

Hi, When I was schooling, I love to read books and I would say, I don't like to have last minutes revision for my examination. So almost everyday, I will have some revision on some subjects and thats make me no rush when come to examination time. But now, I have graduated and I am not in the mood to read books, once a while I will read magazine. I am more interested in online news,chatting with my friends, facebook-ing and blogging. For my son, I do read books to him everyday,and I want him to have a good hobby at home. Reading is definitely good hobby and have to train our kids to read since they are young.

LOL. I was guilty of this when I was studying in college especially when it came to minor subjects in our curriculum. Most of the time, I would just skip classes and attend during exams. I skipped all the lectures and just read books and my classmate's notes before exams. Well, I totally regret doing that back then. I didn't really learn and now I'm having a hard time on my job because I'm not competent and knowledgeable enough about my profession. I wish I could go to school again, but it's really too late already.

Since internet exists, it's a great help for students and non-students/workers to get any information very quickly. But the best combination is using internet and reading books. We always should reserve a time during the day for a book, as reading even on papers we learn plenty of new information without realizing it. I returned to the studies realizing distance learning and online learning, which is very helpfull, but I still read books as I enjoy it.

I love reading books untill now but when i was in schooling before the exam day i wake up early to review what I supposed to exam on this day and to refresh my mind.

yeah. thats true.. reading is important as well as browsing the internet.. Both are very important in studying. When i was still a student, I seldom read books.. i don't know why. Whenever I start holding a book and start reading, in less than, let's say 3-5 minutes I start to yawn and there and then before I knew I felt asleep already. and when exams came I cram a little and still don't read a lot but thanks to our almighty I still passed all my subjects and graduated at the right time... I even passed my board exams with out reading a lot and having a lot of sleep... hihihi....
