A. Big Problems: Making Fragmented Preparation for Exam!
I have proved that most students make fragmented preparation: they have big problems on some or on most of the next 5 key issues! 
  • Dear students, if you want, really, to be successful on your exam, one of the key points to be considered is making integrated preparation! 
  • You have to avoid fragmented preparation: you have to make integrated preparation while preparing for exam.
  • In a simple terms, if your preparation (the preparation you make for coming exam) lacks some of the following points, no doubt, your preparation is fragmented preparation! 
B. How and Why to Make Integrated Preparation: 5 Key Points
To avoid fragmented preparation and make integrated preparation while preparing for exam, your preparation should have, at least, the next five key points (each of them has detail explanations)! 
1. Focus Areas: Your compass but many students don't give attention!
'Focus areas' is the first and the primary point to avoid fragmented preparation and make integrated preparation!
  • You have to have written complete list of topics to be covered on the coming exam! 
  • You should use the list as guidelines before, while and after studying! Without focus areas, you can't know:
    • the topics to be covered and to be left (no need of study).
    • the topics that need more and the one that less effors/time.
    • the topics that have been covered and also haven't yet covered.
☞ For additional on this, read link-1 (see at the end)!
Self-evaluation
Dear students:
  • If you have written focus areas on all subjects and also use the list as guideline, your preparation full fill one of the indicators for ... 
  • If you don't have written focus areas on all subjects and also don't use the list as guideline, this is one of the indicators for fragmented preparation!
  • Evaluate yourself in this way, on the rest four key points! 
2. Complete Written Note: Your Phone Number!
The second key point is complete note! 
  • You have to have complete note which is written on one place/on a single exercise book!
  • Fragmented note will make you have fragmented concept.
  • Fragmented concept makes you reach nowhere!
  • Note is like phone number. If you miss a single number, you can't make a call! The same is true; if you have incomplete note, you can't do your exam fully!
☞ For additional on this, read link-2 (see at the end)!
3. Subject Matter Knowledge: Your Motor!  
  • You should have subject matter knowledge (on each subject, each topic) that the coming require!
  • Having subject knowledge works for any subject, student and exam!
    • Without subject matter knowledge, there is no way to be successful on exam! 
☞ For additional on this, read links-3, 4, 6 (see at the end)!
4. Practicing Questions: The only scientific way!
  • You have to make practicing one part of your study!
  • Make practice on each topic and prove that you are able to answer, at least 70 or 80% and above on each topic/chapter you study/learn!
  • Without practice you can't make sure whether you have understood a given topic/chapter/subject or not! 
    • Practice is the only scientific way to do that!
☞ For additional on this, read links-5, 7 (see at the end)!
5. Study Techniques: Work smart not hard!
'Study techniques' is the other key point to avoid fragmented preparation and make integrated preparation for exam!
  • In addition to subject matter knowledge, you should have study techniques knowledge and also use them!
  • Study has its own art and science, do your study smartly not hard!
  • Some examples of study techniques include: 
    • - Exam Techniques
    • - Habit of practicing...
    • - Note making/taking skills...
    • - Reflection.. .
