Tips Menghafal Saat-saat Akhir

Selalu menghadapi keadaan ini: Bila masuk dewan peperiksaan, baca soalan, dapat bayangan jawapan tapi berterabur dan tak dapat nak kumpulkan semua maklumat? Terutama sekali, soalan esei.

Atau last minute, buka nota dan discover, wah banyaknya benda nak kena ingat?

Ok, saya ada tips. Sekadar berkongsi, sebab saya pun biasa juga, selamba dek bakar lilin at the eleventh hour.

Contoh:

Baca teks di bawah:

There are 10 principles in Coherence:

1.Establishing link between the surah and it’s preceeding and succeeding surahs.
2.Determining preface in the surah
3.Dividing the surah into sub-themes
4.Explaining the relationship among them
5.Identifying central theme in the surah
6.Deliberating over the meaning of the words in accordance to the context
7.Finding ellipsis and brevity in the surah
8.Referring to the socio historical background of the surah
9.Recognizing addressees
10.Selecting a statement as conclusion

Langkah pertama: Boil down the long sentences to one word only and underline that one word.

Extra tip to choose that one word: Pilih yang signifikan. Yang apabila recall perkataan tersebut, terus dapat bayangkan the whole sentence.

Footnote: If the information you have to understand is in essay-form and scattered everywhere, you need to first list down them in point-form until you reach the above state.

Langkah kedua: List all the words.

Link

Preface

Sub-themes

Relationship

Central theme

Context

Ellipsis, brevity

Socio-historical

Addressees

Conclusion

Langkah ketiga: Take some time. Close your eyes and imagine the words, understand them. So that when you manage to recall the words, you’ll arrive at the right sentences.

Langkah keempat: Form a chain of letters (whether or not the chain of letters carries a meaning) using the first letters of each word (ideally). Tapi kalau ada letters yang sama, be creative about it.

Contoh:

lipsucetexellbresoadcon – tak ada meaning, tapi disebabkan terlampau last minute, terpaksalah juga. Sebab bila tulis balik perkataan ini, dah boleh list semula point-point penting tadi.

Link, preface, subthemes, central theme, context, ellipsis, brevity, socio- historical, addressees, conclusion

(I use ‘te’ for context becase ‘con’ is used for conclusion)

Now, you’re ready to go to the exam hall untuk memuntahkan maklumat yang baru sahaja dimasukkan ke dalam memori. Hati-hati, maklumat yang disimpan dengan cara ini mudah sahaja hilang sebaik sahaja dikeluarkan ke atas kertas.

Bear in mind though,

the value of a college education is not the learning of any facts but the training of mind to think.

Have a barakah day, everyone! :)
