TIPS TO PREPARE FORTHE EXAM
1. Trust in God and your God given capabilities.
- Recognize from the start that education requires a lot of time and work. Be committed to investing the time and effort that the course demands.
- Take a decision to enjoy your studies. It is easy to say that you hate it but if you make this choice, you will find it harder to study and attend class. Who wants to spend time with something they hate? There is something that is fun and interesting in every subject if you allow yourself to see it.
- Remember that learning is your own responsibility. The teacher will help you out as much as possible, but they can't learn it for you.
- Sit as close to the front of the classroom as you can. If you sit up front, you will see better, hear better, and generally be more alert.
- Ask questions if you don't understand what the teacher just said, or if the teacher is going too fast. Your classmates will not think you stupid; they will be glad you asked, because they probably didn't understand it either.
- Take notes, lots of notes. Listen attentively and gain knowledge.
- Come to class prepared. Bring all the materials that you need for the class.
- Paying attention in class is important, reading the book is important, but nothing is as important as working the problems. Work as many problems as you can. Practice, practice, practice!
- When the teacher is working problems on the board, you may be tempted to think, "Oh, that's easy. I understand that. I don't need to do those problems." Don't be fooled! Watching the teacher or your friends work a problem is not the same as doing it yourself.
- Never look at the answer to a problem before you finish working the problem. Make sure you understand what you did wrong with the first problem (if anything) before you start the next one of that type.
- As you work the problem, have a clear idea of where you are going, what the goal of the problem is. Understanding how you do a problem enables you to tackle new problems that you may have not worked out before.
- After you have figured out how to work a kind of problem, explain it to someone else. If you can explain it to someone else so that they understand it, you can feel confident that you really do understand it yourself.
- Don't be embarrassed about asking for help. Everyone needs help sometimes. Many people need a lot of help. It's smarter to get help when you need it than to try to do without it. Teachers have a lot of respect for students who take their work seriously.
- Get help as soon as you start having trouble with the material. Do not delay.
- Anticipate what will be on the exam. Notice what material the teacher spends more time on. Sometimes teachers say that certain things will appear for the exam-believe them and make a note of it. Get hold of past question papers and look at the pattern of questions and study accordingly.
- Get into a study group with some of your classmates. It is very helpful to be able to talk and argue about the material with other people. Make sure that you take an active role in these discussions. Many people "study" by watching their friends work problems. You will do much better if you are the one explaining the material to them!
- The night before the exam, go to bed at a reasonable hour and get a good night's sleep. DO NOT STAY UP ALL NIGHT STUDYING or you will be too tired the next day. Eat a good breakfast before the exam .
- Learn from your past mistakes, make sure you understand what you did wrong. You will need to know how to do it right next time.
- Make a timetable and study according to a plan. Start early and revise thoroughly before the examination.

ICPF - Impacting the New Generation -
Be a PART OF IT.
JESUS BLESS
FOR PARENTS AND CHILDREN
The challenges of being a parent.
Parents feel like they’re facing uphill battles in dealing with economic challenges, negative values in society, and community and neighborhood conditions. These challenges are particularly hard for parents of teenagers, those facing economic stress, those with limited interest in education.
Here is what some parents said………………….
- “Needing to protect your child from negative values and influences in this society” is a “major problem” for all parents but particularly those that are in living in a multiracial society like that of America.( My experience in the middle east shows that this is a major factor that influences the character formation of a teenager)
- “There are also challenges of the world we live in now, where consumerism and commercialism and…everything is consumption. And that’s not something I value. Or at least that’s not a value I want to pass on to my child. . . . Aside from the day to day, trying to instill values when the rest of the world seems caught up in ‘what kind of car am I driving, how many more pairs of sneakers can I buy.’”
- “As a parent you have certain values and morals and principles that you want to instill in your child. But there are so many competing forces out there. There’s so much negativity in the street, there’s so much negativity on television, there’s so much negativity and violence on television. . . . . So it’s a constant struggle to keep them on a path that’s positive and constructive.”
- “It’s difficult to be a good parent. You don’t go to school to learn to be a parent, one has to learn it by trial and error….But now, here, I say, that being a parent is the most difficult career in our lives, be a parent and learn to be a parent.”
- “Parenting is definitely intended to be two individuals – because the female brings certain characteristics to the child’s development and the male brings the other part, which is what gives you a well-rounded child. So I believe the child that is missing one of their parents, they miss out.”
- “It’s hard. It’s not easy. There’s certain things that is difficult – like raising teenagers at home is crazy. One day they…you know, they get up in a certain mood, the next day the other. My challenge is just understanding them, basically.”
- “I always sacrificed what I needed for what this child needed. So it’s like I sacrificed a lot in order to make sure he had [what he needed]. And it may have ruined him in some ways—because he’s spoiled rotten—but I sacrificed a lot. I didn’t put my needs first; I put his first.”
The home should be the happiest spot we can ever know on earth. In it we have the very closest and dearest relationships, and it can be the constant source of strength and inspiration. But to create and preserve the happiness of the home requires certain qualities and attitudes which may be designated by four key words.
Love-faith-self discipline and responsibility.
¢ Love is the basic ingredient of anything that is of God. A family that is rooted in love will be strong. To keep it alive and warm requires close association, attention and care. Love needs to be nurtured and for this communication is a must. No amount of gadgets, money or gifts can be a substitute for communication. Parents need to spend quality time with each other and with the children.
¢ Faith in God and in one another is vital. Faith, in all its aspects trust, confidence, reliance brings happiness. If a home is to be happy parents must conduct themselves in such a way that they can have implicit faith in each other and inspire such faith also in their children. The basis of such mutual trust, however, is a faith in God and in all the attributes we associate with Him truth, integrity, fairness, compassion, mercy.
¢ Self-discipline is acquired only gradually and sometimes painfully through external discipline. Being permissive destroys a child slowly but surely.
¢ Responsibility is a key factor. Realizing each others roles and responsibilities makes the home a joyful place. Each member of the family feels a responsibility to the others, a responsibility to merit confidence and truth, a responsibility to keep one's promises, to carry out duties and assignments.
