第一段
1 .Thanks for coming to see me, June.
该句暂无译文！
2 .I understand that you' ve been referred to academic counselling because of a rather poor outcome on your mid-year exams. Is that right?
该句暂无译文！
第二段
1 .Yes. I manage quite well with the course assessments but I just seem to go to pieces at exam time.
该句暂无译文！
2 .And passing the exam is an essential criterion.
该句暂无译文！
第三段
1 .Yours is quite a familiar situation.
该句暂无译文！
2 .Exams often trigger stress and anxiety amongst students but,
该句暂无译文！
3 .believe me, they' re not intentionally designed to do so.
该句暂无译文！
第四段
1 .I don' t know why we have to have exams in the first place.
该句暂无译文！
第五段
1 .Well, I guess the main reason is to test students under controlled conditions so they can demonstrate
该句暂无译文！
2 .what they are capable of, themselves, as individuals, without any outside assistance.
该句暂无译文！
第六段
1 .But I find them such a strain.
该句暂无译文！
2 .And it' s not because I don' t study.
该句暂无译文！
第七段
1 .Well, let me run through some exam preparation tips with you.
该句暂无译文！
2 .We' II see if you can learn how to maximise the effectiveness of your preparation and reduce exam anxiety to get a better outcome.
该句暂无译文！
第八段
1 .you are given a course outline that tells you when you'll be sitting the exam and how much it will contribute to your overall grade.
该句暂无译文！
第九段
1 .Yes ... But they give that out in the first week of the course.
该句暂无译文！
第十段
1 .Precisely ... Once you have it,
该句暂无译文！
2 .you begin to set your exam goals.
该句暂无译文！
3 .And from the very first day of lectures, you make sure you take good notes because these are essential for good exam preparation.
该句暂无译文！
第十一段
1 .Oh, I've got heaps of notes.
该句暂无译文！
第十二段
1 .But ... ah ... did you make summaries?
该句暂无译文！
第十三段
1 .Well, no.
该句暂无译文！
2 .Anyway, some lecturers use PowerPoint presentations and they give you a handout with the slides on.
该句暂无译文！
第十四段
1 .Yes, but slides alone are not sufficient.
该句暂无译文！
2 .You still need to write down explanations and examples and add your own notes to the slides.
该句暂无译文！
第十五段
1 .Oh, I see.
该句暂无译文！
第十六段
1 .As you progress through the semester it' s important to keep up-to-date with your summaries - not just of the lecture notes
该句暂无译文！
2 .but chapters of any books you've read or articles in journals.
该句暂无译文！
3 .Be selective though;
该句暂无译文！
4 .there Is just so much information on the Internet, and it's very difficult to discern
该句暂无译文！
5 .what' s valuable and what is not,
该句暂无译文！
6 .and it' s probably not worth the effort to summarise what you read there.
该句暂无译文！
第十七段
1 .Still,that seems like a lot of summarising.
该句暂无译文！
第一段
1 .Yes, June, but that' s the key to exam preparation -at revision time,
该句暂无译文！
2 .you make a summary of all your summaries!
该句暂无译文！
3 .And be sure to start revision before the end of lectures because lecturers often hold a couple of revision seminars before the end of the course.
该句暂无译文！
第二段
1 .Do I need to go to those?
该句暂无译文！
2 .I thought they were optional.
该句暂无译文！
第三段
1 .They are, but you should attend.
该句暂无译文！
2 .It is often in those seminars that you get really useful information to help you with the exams.
该句暂无译文！
3 .And, before you go, you must have gone through all the course material.
该句暂无译文！
4 .Read critically and carefully, and have questions prepared if there is anything you don' t understand.
该句暂无译文！
第四段
1 .Yes, that sounds like a good idea.
该句暂无译文！
2 .So the secret is to start revision really early - is that what you' re saying?
该句暂无译文！
第五段
1 .Yes, but you can also set goals for your exams and, in your case, this is pretty straightforward because,
该句暂无译文！
2 .no matter how well you've done on continuous assessment tasks,
该句暂无译文！
3 .you still need to get 50% in each exam, right?
该句暂无译文！
第六段
1 .Yes, passing the exam is compulsory in each of my courses.
该句暂无译文！
第七段
1 .Then I suggest you target your weaker subjects
该句暂无译文！
2 .and focus more effort on them in the lead-up to exams.
该句暂无译文！
3 .Get a copy of your exam schedule as ... as soon as it's available and make yourself a timetable.
该句暂无译文！
4 .Fill in every day from the beginning of study week to the last exam.
该句暂无译文！
5 .Write down all the tasks you have to do...
该句暂无译文！
第八段
1 .You mean like sorting lecture notes, revision and practising past papers?
该句暂无译文！
第九段
1 .Yes, although any sorting should be done straight after the last day of lectures ...
该句暂无译文！
2 .and don' t forget to build in some relaxation time.
该句暂无译文！
3 .I'm glad you practise past papers; that's a really good strategy.
该句暂无译文！
4 .You know that different examiners like different styles of exams.
该句暂无译文！
第十段
1 .Really?
该句暂无译文！
第十一段
1 .Yes, ah, of course.
该句暂无译文！
2 .Multiple choice, essay, short answer,
该句暂无译文！
3 .open book, problem solving...
该句暂无译文！
4 .all those formats require different strategies,
该句暂无译文！
5 .and you need to be aware of the format that your examiners prefer.
该句暂无译文！
6 .What have you noticed so far?
该句暂无译文！
第十二段
1 .Well, multiple choice is popular...
该句暂无译文！
第十三段
1 .Ahh, yes. Good old multiple choice!
该句暂无译文！
2 .I Do you like that style?
该句暂无译文！
第十四段
1 .I'm not sure, really.
该句暂无译文！
2 .I sometimes get a bit confused with those ones,
该句暂无译文！
3 .and there are always so many questions.
该句暂无译文！
第十五段
1 .Yes, examiners like those because they are easy to mark, but of course they are harder to write.
该句暂无译文！
2 .But from your point of view, you need to remember that multiple choice exams usually rely on recognition rather than recall.
该句暂无译文！
第十六段
1 .What does that mean?
该句暂无译文！
第十七段
1 .Well,you only have to know your subject mater well enough so that you can recognise the right answer when you see it.
该句暂无译文！
第十八段
1 .So that means it' s easier?
该句暂无译文！
第一十九段
1 .Not exactly;
该句暂无译文！
2 .you can get a lot more questions, which means that you need to cover the breadth of the subject but you don't need to study it in great depth.
该句暂无译文！
第二十段
1 .Thanks, you've been really helpful.
