Secrets of How To Beat The Examiner
I'm an expert at passing exams because I chose to practice exam techniques until I could apply them in my sleep. It didn't really matter what subject I was taking. It was my special expertise at passing exams that got me through.
I was sick of seeing my English test results placing me at the bottom of the class. Then I discovered the first secrets, when I was fifteen years old. I wrote an essay that night and next day it moved me from the bottom of the class to the top. From then on I stayed in the top three in a class of forty pupils.
Is It Difficult?
How could it be, if I picked up the secrets from a few minutes reading, and immediately started performing like the expert that I am? You'll need to read my book to find out all the secrets, but I'll tell you the first one. Your teacher is human.
Obey The Rules But Bend Them
If you don't even know the rules, how can you bend them? How can you spot the loopholes? I passed one exam paper (my wife brought it home) that I knew nothing about. I just knew the rules. I wrote elsewhere about how I kicked a goal into the wrong side when I was forced to play football. I didn't even know enough rules to kick the ball the right way.
Exams are a game with very much higher stakes than that stupid game of football. For instance, one of my classmates was dragged crying and screaming and pleading from his final exams because he was cheating. He broke the rules and was blacklisted, so he couldn't take any more exams. I bent the rules in the same exam, and told enough lies to get myself very high pass marks.
Teachers Are Human
One of our teachers got extra pocket money from marking the final exams for about six hundred examinees. Did I mention to you that examiners are human? Right. How do you think he felt with midnight approaching, the night before he had to hand in his marked papers, reading the five hundred and ninety seventh essay saying the same things in different words?
Wouldn't it be a good idea to waken him up so that he can see well enough to mark your efforts, which just happen to be in the five hundred and ninety eighth paper? Even if you give him nightmares, he will be grateful for being wakened up. My English teacher wrote on my paper - Excellent, if somewhat cynical. - The cynical bit was how I had made him sit up and take notice, and I can still remember the thrill of pouring on the cynicism in wholesale quantities, just to entertain him and myself.
Practice exam secrets like this until they become second nature to you. You'll have to get my book to discover how to bend the rules effectively.
