Looking back at the amount of time I spent studying for my mock exam, there is no doubt I should have put in more effort and time into studying. While I find that short-term studying is generally effective for acquiring decent grades on my tests, the mock exam consisted of questions that were taught over the past two years, therefore long-term revision would have been effective. Although I achieved a 5 on the IB scale, I easily could have acquired a higher grade if I studied over an extended period of time, and not the morning of the exam. In order to prevent achieving the same score on my final IB exam, I will create a systematic plan for revision and will have to commit to sticking with it. The plan will consist of daily revision but it will take no longer than 45 minutes. By committing to this plan everyday I am confident I will be able to achieve a good score on the final IB exam.
Yes Deep the secret is systematic and sustained study now until the exam in mid-May. Good luck!
