You don’t need a miracle to improve your grade simply because no human has ever reached his/her peak and that. When you talk about failure- this word is imaginary and only exists around foolish minds. Its failure in your instincts that triggers failure in your actions never think of failure if you don’t have dreams- yes dreams. All successful people who lived and still live had or have had dreams. When a dream fails, that is not failure rather it’s the beginning of another dream. Don’t dream a dream with borders only to claim later that you have achieved to what some others will call basic achievements. Dreams are imaginary because failure or success only lives in the dreamer’s mind. The fear of failure is an enemy of success since failure is a step towards success. If you have been successful all the time: it’s in failure that you will weigh whether you are indeed a winning machine or not.
Alliance boys are the leading in KCSE academic almost every year. Consistence and patience makes them so- these boys are just ordinary boys however they have the know how of answering questions well than other Kenyan students. According to the research I did with my pupils in form 1 class, 33% of marks lost by each student on average are lost because of basic mistakes that can be avoided. 33% can make an A- to be A or D to be a C-. Achieving your desired grade does not necessarily mean reading tirelessly and cramming the content. Success evolves around checking out on what area you did not score well, why you did not score on that question? What were the examiner’s expectations? And what could I have done to score highly on the same question. There is a difference between just doing exams and doing exams to pass. Alliance high School sits for exams to pass while Nyakemincha Primary School just does exams to confirm their participation.
Passing exams is as easy as failing examinations if you ask Maranda High School. This school has had ups and lows of the same perspective but when cheating is mentioned in the mix- it takes a century to make a name but a second to destroy- they may have done that because they were under pressure to perform twin with last year’s performance but it worked in a reverse course. When schools/ students cheat in exams because they want to be seen as the best, it beats all the expectations in the laid curriculum. Education is not a matter of life or death; education is a process of learning courses provided by the syllabus. You may not be quick in class but you may be a Theo Walcott, or Wayne Rooney in the making. Intelligence is not only measured in class knowledge if you can allow me to name Christiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi as intelligent personnel outside the classroom.
Making your grade count revolves around as an individual and if you approach your issues scientifically, the better. Performance works hand in hand with hard work, patience, consistence, accountability, approach, tips, experience and self belief don’t forget self esteem.
Exam is not a measurement of failure; exam is a measurement of levels- Knowledge level, preparation level and other resources. There is this young brother who tempted to commit suicide because he had scored relatively low grade as not expected. It wasn’t his consent to do so but due to pressure from my father who vowed to disown any none performing sibling. To date my brother had to go psychiatric canceling to compel the feelings. You see it wasn’t his mistake rather the parent’s mistake- He could have lost the son and even the grades he was longing for. I don’t think modern parents behave the same and if you are a parent with the same policy, please surrender yourself to the Kenya National Museum.
Finally, here are tips to help you improve your grade, and if it didn’t work in your favor, there is no need of committing suicide. Your current results are your starting point. Make a decision faster and better and you are okay. When one opportunity door closes, God always opens another for plan B
1. Have a dream and work towards achieving your dreams. When I startedwww.manyamfranchise.com I had less than 200 page views a month, I didn’t conduct any business for the first eight months but I did not lose hope, currently I record more than 10500 page views every month and more than 2000 unique visitors every month. My dream is to attract one million visitors everyday and if I can achieve that, because my dreams are borderless, I will develop a new dream of maybe 3 million everyday- ooh! God help me
2. Be patient: develop both long term and short term goals and follow them to the latter. Set you priorities rights i.e. don’t wait for Mrs. xyz to finish the syllabus when you can as well do it with the company of your classmates. Teamwork wins trophies, people win events
3. Encourage one another- Encouragement is like a lubricant, when your motives are too low, seek companionship from friends, teachers, relatives and make peace with the environment
4. Revise your past papers and highlight your mistakes with the help of your subject teacher. Teachers understand what you don’t, they have experience and are employed to help you succeed, and distancing yourself from them is a suicidal affair. No matter how harsh he/she may appear, use your teachers efficiently to your advantage.
5. Familiarize with keywords- words like state, explain, compute, calculate, differentiate, elaborate, give, explain et cetera. These are the words that deny you 33% of every exam you pursue if you are an average or low performer.
6. Be on the examiner shoes- try to understand what the examiner wants in every question you answer. Don’t haphazardly answer questions with blindness and gimmick. Lose 1 mark and you will never see the inside of a campus
7. Do more revisions- join as many discussion groups as your limit can take and in every discussion group be active and participate accordingly? This will give you confidence and a gift of mastery-talk- the more senses you use in studying the better the advancement
8. Be scientific in your approach- try to use scientific methods of study. Example: SQ3R that means – Survey, Question, Read, Recite and Record. When you read any topic, survey the content then question every topic or subtopic you want to read, read what you have questioned and surveyed, recite the content then record in the book with your own words Read More-https://sites.google.com/a/manyamfranchise.com/home/home/POPULAR-TAGS/simplereadingmethodsandresearch
9. When you sit for any exam, tune your mind positively. Don’t let negative pressure influence your grade. You are up to the task and special in your own world and that is why you are unique.
10. Every mark Counts. Be efficient when doing examination. And play your game like Chelsea- Am an Arsenal fan but I like how Chelsea play their matches
a) Play defensively- before you concede goals, play defensively that means don’t accept your opponent (exam) to score against you. Before you play your game against exams you are nil-nil. Don’t give exam a chance to score against you hold him and frustrate him by first answering simple questions
b) When a chance strikes, make that chance a score. Be offensive alternatively when your opponent has been weakened. And score as many goals as you can because they will increase the collective tally of points
c) Never say die until the last whistle is blown. Don’t down your pen, you have worked for this opportunity for the last 16 years. Take your chances right and aim for a knockout kick- last minute’s goal is very sweet
d) Approach your opponent with extreme caution. You should know which exams you are pursuing and make a game plan for that exam. Mathematics game plan should not look like CRE game plans, in mathematics, you need killer passes to win the game, congest the midfield with formulae and concepts as in iron hand in CRE you need ball possession (concept) and soft touches to win the match so that you can also go to heaven.
e) When the game is tense, use mind games to buy confidence- drop your pen on the ground and ask the invigilator to help collect it. Ask yourself why the game is tense and try to find answers and if the answers are not instant- you are not alone in those tense matches you are playing with Real Madrid play hard so that you cannot concede- but don’t ‘Maranda’ yourself
