Description

"Only students with big dreams and vision put time into serious revision." When it comes to exams, intelligence alone is insufficient. Understanding key processes during revisions and studies is a necessity; otherwise, knowledge would be a waste of information during exams. Education is not merely a book, a room, an institution, a desk or a blackboard; education is a living instrument. It breeds ability in all willing students. The Student Exam Passport is a study guide that is laid out in a way that makes study and revision more urgent, more entertaining, more easier to follow, more thoroughly engaging, and a little more philosophical and novel-like. It is embedded with a real-life scenario and outlines common errors during an exam that all students can associate with.For example, it reveals scenarios that underpin an explainable cause of bad grades and proposes better study techniques that are detailed and concise to overcome bad grades. It touches on the role of our memory before and during the exam day. It also reveals that despite being intelligent, motivated and hardworking, most students still struggle to remember much after hours of studying for an exam. One plausible answer is, the information we might want to retain has not made it into the long-term memory bank.It also consists of topics such as the following:Accountability --Learning style --Memory--Significance of forgetting --Preparation and planning --Achieving top grade --and many other topics.

No matter who we have become or who we failed to become, no matter where we have come from or where we are heading to, no matter where we have got to or where we never arrived at but hoped to be, we’ve never ever walked a path alone. We have always had a body, a soul, a heart, a life, a significant presence, a companion around us who deserves at the very least a special thank you. And for this particular reason, I am deeply grateful to my readers and supporters. Thank you all.
Education has played a dominant role in my life journey, and I have a lot of folks and institutions to thank, even countries. Without them, this book would never have materialised. Neither would my knowledge and awareness of the power of education in the fast-paced and creative twenty-first century world we all live in.
The publication of this book is inspired by my learning journey in Nigeria, Germany and the United Kingdom. Its publication is inevitable, because I have lived and been schooled in these three distinct countries, in which there has been a constant challenge to learn, adjust and adapt. I have had to learn with more focus, more determination, more motivation and a genuine interest to compete.
At times, the journey was overwhelmingly hard and rough, filled with potholes of doubt, wrinkled with tedious demands, clayed with confusion, a restless, endless challenge to stay current among my peers. Other times, the journey was less challenging and subtle, filled with joyful results and fruitful adventures and experience that money can’t genuinely buy. The best thing about it all was that during those hard times, I did what I do best, I remained focused and determined, because I know that like everything else, the potholes eventually get filled up, the wrinkles get ironed out with the right pressure, and the challenges come to an end.
The truth is, as students, we crave achievement, clarity, accuracy, expertise and opportunity. We turn to education for answers, directions, instructions and awareness. Education is a sequence of consequences, an act which in hindsight justifies its value if applied rightfully. I remember the days when I had to study for various exams with candles and lanterns and use them sparingly, with moths and mosquitos circling the light and baiting me with distraction.
I still cherish those days, but believe me, my choice of lighting was not because studying by candlelight was colourful or romantic. Back then, candles or lanterns were the only source of light that was readily available when the electricity was cut off (which happened often), but they were nevertheless sincerely appreciated, for I always craved knowledge. Education is a journey to quench the craving that drives us to discover our existence, our purpose and our contribution to the society we are placed in to excel.
My journey has been immensely transforming, so I am much indebted and grateful to Boston College in Lincolnshire in the United Kingdom for their trust in my ability to develop despite starting with a noticeable gap in knowledge. I am most indebted to Nottingham Trent University, also in the United Kingdom, for supporting me and providing me with the relevant lecturers, teaching materials, study materials and direction in my career growth. At times, it is indeed difficult to put up with those whose ambitions are bigger than their circumstances. My merit was judged constantly during the first few years of my European encounter as I adapted to the new academic world I had been placed in to compete. For this reason, I am indebted.
I would like to thank my parents, family, readers, supporters and friends who have had to put up with my relentless and energetic outlook on life. Thanks also go to the wonderful government of the United Kingdom, which has made it possible for me to conclude my masters through the provisions of its Student Loans Company. SLC enabled me to pursue my desired course without fear of not being able to afford it.
Special thanks goes to Kathie Moore, the dean of the School of Social Sciences at Nottingham Trent University, and Professor Edward Peck, vice-chancellor of Nottingham Trent University. Your leadership presences are impeccable.
Also, special thanks goes to my university tutor, James Stiller, for his outstanding assistance. James, you have always made the time to help me navigate any academic issue I might have at any given time throughout my masters. You also told me to ensure that I write in my own voice. From here forth, I will never stop writing. I have found my voice. I have found my passion and I have found my sense of contribution: to help students believe in getting through any challenge academically, economically and personally.
A final thanks goes to Jerry Nicholls and all his associates, for without him I wouldn’t have had the opportunity to know that education and training are not exclusively confined and limited to academia but extend to the worlds outside it (personal, social, economic and general business). Without them, I wouldn’t be the senior manager I am today. Without them, I wouldn’t know what it means to reach above and beyond with a brain, a heart, rolled-up sleeves and two working hands.
This book is undoubtedly a contribution to all students at all levels, for it explains the significance of exams and education through a mind that has travelled to differ
