Just wondering if anybody is considering TCC... they had two application periods for the fall semester.. december 1st (2011) deadline and march 15 deadline (2012).. im applying in the march group but I know I can't be the only one on the board considering it..
It was long! Its so hard to sit there for 6 hours. I'm not sure whether to focus on the notes or the assigned readings. I did part of the reading today but its hard to retain. But I think it will be fun once we start doing hands-on stuff. And our class is a lot bigger than I thought it would be.
Tcchopeful by the time you get used to the 6 hour days, you'll be finishing the class lol. Sometimes the material presented is so boring its hard to keep yourself awake. Our class had 32 but y'all have 2 of our people and a third one will be joining y'all in January. I always read because I don't like how their notes are structured. It's different for different people. A lot in our cohort came out with B's.
I joined a study group of 4 early on. We meet twice a week. Fridays and Sundays. I think the study group is what helped me prepare. We come having read most or all of the readings for that test and we go through each chapter picking what's important and explain things in different ways.
The way I studied is after the study group, I would only read what I highlighted as important from each section and if I didn't understand a certain part or didnt think I could remember, I would write it down to review later, but I didn't write down what I already knew or what could be considered common sense. If u form a small study group, that's going to really be helpful as long as you all are on the same page. We still have our study group in this class. Read for understanding and not memorization.
Some test tips... Don't over think or read too deep into the questions. Don't put extra info into the question that's not there. Highlight important key words and pay attention to the questions that say select all that apply. When answering those questions, cover up all but the first answer choice and mark whether the statement is true or false in relation to the question, then move to the next one covering up those answers and so one. U really see the answers individually rather than 4 or 5 possible answers.
