Reading week

Before the mid-term tests, there is a week called reading week in NUS. That week is for students to catch up with undone homework and essentially gives them time for doing revision on their own before the second half of the course starts.

In my first semester all my modules had mid term tests, so I was very hardworking that first semester, using my entire reading week to revise. The same occurred for my second semester. Come third semester I had only one MCQ online test after reading week and that week saw me doing everything except studying.

This semester I have two mid-term tests. The difference between this semester and last semester besides one more test? I have a friend to revise with. And that rocks because you know there are others who are in the same boat with you. Moreover, like all teachers like to say, knowledge comes when you are able to explain to your friend and he understands.

Add to that a sense of satisfaction and a pinch of band, I'm almost looking forward to reading week!

To all studying : Ganbatte kudasai!
