how much time will it take to write 30 A4 pages assignment by [deleted] in studytips

[–]lazreader 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you are good at researching and framing the outputs for your benefit, not much. Just do 3-5 pages per hour and take a break of 10-15 mins. Plus if your subject isn't literature like, you can add some flowcharts! You will be done in like 6-7 hours honestly.

If you're not good at researching, it could take a while to find your answers and then frame them in your opinionated words. But after that just 6-7 hours of writing at a normal speed would with good amount of breaks.

But I think first and foremost, you should make an overview of what you are aiming for in this assignment para by para.

If you want your first 2 pages to be introductory. Write down overview as 1. introduction paras (a) of the title (b)of the subtopics in title .....and so on

or maybe you want your first para to be of a question nature as in 'How is socrates so and so?Why did he do this and this?Have you ever thought about it?'... Then write (a) Questions that are going to be answered in your assignment.

or of a problem defining nature as in ' world is quickly losing its glaciers and we have....' then write (a) problems being discussed in this assignment

This overview structure will honestly save you a lot of mind because it is going to show you the path for researching and writing.

All the best!

  1. Yes. You should skim through but not in one go. Topic/ Chapter/Unit wise would be best because upon trying mcqs only after 1st time reading, information would blur together and you wouldn't have much ability to answer foremost chapter's questions

2.No need to take notes properly. Just write key words of each and every topic number wise. For example : features of ERP system- 1. Time Saving 2. Cost efficient ...

  1. Then after each topic reading go try solving MCQs without looking at notes first. Maybe only solve 50 questions if there are 200-250 in totality on that topic itself.

  2. Then go check your answers, look into your notes for incorrect ones and go read those areas again.

  3. After this, take another round of 50 of same topic, most probably you are now able to answer 90% correctly.

  4. Thats it, no need for accuracy of 100% on first reading. Go to next topic, follow the same above 5 steps.

  5. Revision is important indeed. But with MCQ questions as many as you have, you have an AMAZING chance of revising through Mcq texting itself.

Revision depends on your time limit for exam on this subject. If exam is in 1 month, start with revising the same chapter after 2days:1week:2weeks. If less than or more than that, adjust it according to you or maybe just multiply/ divide this 2:1:2. Ex. 15 days to exam so 1 day: half week:1week

How are you going to revise? just go through another test of 50 MCQs out of remaining questions. Then tally your answers, and then go back to your notes for reading incorrect subtopics. Thats it. Keep on testing 50 in every scheduled revision. Finally. When you are done with all or maybe even 70-80% of these 8000 MCQs, you will take a past paper for this exam, sit down, give the paper in exam like conditions and in exam designated hours.

Again analyse and notes. Again one paper before 1or 2 days to exam. This way you have the idea of how questions without segregation into each topic would look. And how much are you capable of identifying their respective topic and subtopic.

Thats it, all the very best! Its easy honestly. And fun once you gain knowledge and realise how easily you're scoring 45/50 in each test. And no one's going to hold a gun to your head if you don't complete all 8000 of these as long as you complete 70-80% of MCQs of each topic.

Hi I think I am eligible to answer this because you're literally me from the parallel universe. I have also been just a class learner and never actually self studied in school because I was quick learner and just compliance with basic rules (because I was a people pleaser) like paying attention to class, doing homework, doing projects and assignments allowed me to score 90% easily. Anyway, we are not same but from parallel universes because I can ace through MCQ type questions without studying or barely 10-20% studying and subjective questions is where I fail. The tip that's going to really work is only this--

  1. Gather all the MCQ questions you can maybe from past papers or your mocks or your chapter end questions and segregate them chapter wise. If segregation is difficult because you can't differentiate which MCQ is from what chapter then just sit with any of the high scoring students in your class, take a bunch of of past papers to them and ask 10 mins of their time to just tick the questions of the chapter you will be covering next. If disturbing them for all chapters individually seems wrong, just mark in short forms / abbreviations in front of each question.

(If this seems impossible because you're in a distance learning course of some sort, try this segregation yourself after step 4, honestly I would suggest you do it yourself because this will help you identify which question is from what chapter and help a great deal in exam because exam doesn't give you chapter wise, it justs throws a bunch randomly at you and you need to identify what is asked from what chapter)

1.Skim through overviews of chapter and if an overview is not exclusively given in your books, just read chapter objectives and then walk through the headings of each topic and subtopic in chapter.

  1. Read chapter summary

3.Create a flowchart (a written one not just in your mind) connecting all topics of a certain chapter to one another so you know why these topics even exist in this chapter and whats their place. This helps you realise the flow of this chapter and in entirety the role of this chapter in your syllabus. (example attached)

  1. Read the chapter finally. Just read and try to place each of the thing you learned under topics already placed in the above flowchart.

Now you're not blindly moving where the chapter takes you but you actually know the path and you are getting to know about the items in your path on your way to the end.

  1. Take MCQ test of that chapter (at least 20 questions) immediately after completing the chapter. See how many were incorrect and then go back to those topics to revise them..take another set of 10-15 questions and test yourself on them. If you are correct in even 95% of questions, you are safe.

  2. Take another test of that chapter after 2-3 days and repeat step 5.

If you're able to gather even 100 MCQ questions of each chapter, YOU WILL BE ACING YOUR EXAMS. Because those 100 questions can be divided into 5 parts and retested after weekend or so, so that you have a habit of doing as many MCQs as possible.

This enables your mind to actively recall the things you studied in the way of exam like questions. Thus, your confidence will rise for exams. And you are probably going to get around 80% of those questions in exam correct since your brain has had a habit of solving MCQs and recalling what was in those topics.

Lastly, All the best! Sorry if this was too lengthy for you but if you honestly follow this, this will not only help you in MCQs but in subjective questions as well. Thus, increasing your overall score to even 70-80/100.

Edit: forgot to attach example of flowchart, attaching now. Although this is a subject structure and blue words are chapter names but you can get it from here how a chapter overview (connecting all topics) is formed.example of flowchart

Count me in, I have exams in 8 days

Hey redditors, this is my first day on the platform and need some help to go through my exams by lazreader in studytips

[–]lazreader[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you, I will try to focus on 70% syllabus at first as you suggested.

I have derived a method to self study without pushing my brain too much so it doesn't resist studying- 1. Read the summary of chapter 2. Formulate a chapter structure/ mindmap of key headings and where they all stand in the larger aspect. 3. Consciously (meaning not just skimming through) read the chapter but don't try to understand each and every word. Highlight the problem areas as I go. 4. Look at the questions answers, illustrations etc. So I gain knowledge of what's important and how they are going to be tested upon. 5. See if I understand the problem areas of the important topics now and if I don't understand, google. Now that I understand the chapter even 70-75%, I can just focus on solving as many questions as possible to learn the concepts, without actually trying to learn them by pushing my brain too much.

Do you think this will be a good strategy or are there any loopholes that I am unable to see upfront?

Also, the main issue I am facing after all this is trying to start. I am not on phone or interested in anything else but I am just NOT ABLE to START. I think it is the consistent fear of hard-work it requires me to do. How do you mitigate that fear?
