2019 YKS will take place on June 15-16, 2019. Stating that the last 1 month should be evaluated well, Expert Psychological Counselor and Career Counselor Ece Tözeniş made suggestions to university candidates.
Üsküdar University Educational Institutions and Guidance Services Manager, Expert Psychological Counselor and Career Counselor Ece Tözeniş made important warnings to university candidates who will take YKS.
It is necessary to make good use of the last 1 month
"Now that the weather is warm, should we enjoy the nice weather or should we continue to study? Maybe most of the university candidates are not exactly in such a sharp dilemma, but it is difficult for everyone to study in good weather," says Expert Psychological Counselor and Career Counselor Ece Tözeniş,
"The last 1 month is an important time and should be utilized well. You have done your best so far, you have studied the subject, you have solved plenty of questions, now it is time to increase our speed in this month."
The university exam is a marathon run
Ece Tözeniş said, "We can liken the exam to running a marathon. Marathons are run in large numbers, but the result is determined by individual endurance and struggle."
"This year, 2 million 446 thousand 51 candidates applied for the Basic Proficiency Test (TYT), 1 million 985 thousand 689 for the Field Proficiency Test (AYT) and 134 thousand 323 for the Foreign Language Test. Who will reach their goal? Those who have individual endurance like in a marathon and do not give up the struggle.
Instead of counting the days, make the most of your time
Instead of counting the days and hours, you should plan how to make the most efficient use of the remaining time. Don't be demoralized, you can motivate yourself with positive sentences such as 'I will do my best' and 'I will reach my goal' instead of negative sentences such as 'There is little time left, I will not be able to finish, it will not happen'.
Repeat the subject
If there is a subject that you cannot learn, you can continue with repetitions and question solutions on the subjects you know instead of learning a subject from the beginning. You can do balanced subject repetitions and question solutions for each day in the courses related to the areas you are responsible for in the exam.
Make sure to check your true-false checks
After the mock exams and after each test you solve, make sure to check the correct and incorrect answers. Scrutinize the questions you got wrong a little more, why did you get it wrong? Lack of attention? Lack of subject matter? If you have a lack of attention, you can solve more questions on that subject. If you have a subject deficiency, you can complete this subject deficiency without wasting time.
Solving plenty of questions will help you master the questions
The more questions you solve during this period (by exceeding the ideal number of questions for yourself every day), your reflexes about the exam and the questions will develop. The more questions you solve, the more question patterns you see. This helps you to have a better command of the questions as well as the subject matter.
Talking about the exam causes anxiety
Üsküdar University Educational Institutions and Guidance Services Manager, Expert Psychological Counselor and Career Counselor Ece Tözeniş concluded her words as follows:
"Finally, the date and time of the exam is clear. Talking about the exam constantly will cause you to attribute different meanings to the exam and increase your anxiety. Instead of negative conversations about the exam, you can have a pleasant time when you get together with your friends or you can complete your deficiencies by supporting each other in the subjects you are good at."
