If you have just had
a look at the pre-seen text on the official CIMA website, you may
have mixed feelings. Part of you may be feeling excited and, in a
strange way, looking forward to the exam. It will be a chance to show
off all of the knowledge that you have been working so hard to learn.
You may really enjoy learning and almost feel sad that it may be over
soon!
However…
Another part of you
may be feeling less keen. You have read the pre-seen analysis and
have learnt more about the film industry than you would have ever
thought. You have a vague plan in your head and a little spark of
determination. Broadly speaking, you have several paths to take.
Let's consider these three people and their approach to the sitting.
Person A reads the
pre-seen analysis whilst eating his breakfast. He keeps his study
materials by his bedside table at night and reads them as a story to
himself before going to sleep. If he could study it in the shower, he
would! Instead of going out with his friends, person A stays in and
studies all day long. By heart, he can recite most of the main
paragraphs. His wall is covered in all of the different study
techniques, but his family complain that they never see him.
Person B isn't
really interested in the pre-seen analysis. He reads it and then gets
a call from one of his friends, who asks him if he wants to go out
and see a film. Person B looks at the case study but doesn't think
twice. I'll do it later, he tells himself, but that time never comes.
Person C is a little
like person A and person B. They read the case study and carefully
make notes. They still go out with friends and spend time with their
family, but revision is one of their main priorities. They have a set
plan and, when they are working, they stick to that. By the time the
exam comes around, they are prepared.
Which person are
you? Are you just like studious A, or a social butterfly like B?
Person C is between the two and has the best approach to studying. Of
course, some people who are an A or a B may still be successful, but
their revision approach could be more balanced and varied.
If you find yourself
staying up until Twilight every night with your materials or letting
them get dusty, remember that those who have a sensible plan and
stick to it are far more likely to do well and also enjoy themselves.
