Today Amrita Di conducted the session on CELEBRATING EXAMS in SRI SRI ACADEMY ( Alipore) from 1:30 to 2:30 pm. There were class 11th students of all departments ( science, commerce, arts and humanities).
I (Dipankar ) along with volunteers Stuti and Shiksha Di also attended the session.
Firstly Amrita Di asked students what thoughts and feelings they have after listening the word "Exam". Students came up with various answers (few were genuine and few were actually funny).
Then she asked students reasons for having fear and anxiety during exams. Students came up with a variety of answers which were noted on board by Dipankar. Then, Amrita Di addressed each of those causes individually and provided students as well as us with very interesting tips and techniques.
She told students reading and revision techniques. She also said " in a list of five things to study, one should always start with something that he / she had read earlier and just need revision for it." She told students to write a letter to oneself before sitting up in the exams.
Overall, the session had been very interactive and informative for students as well as for us.
