In
Pakistan
children are brought up with a deep rooted and clear thought that they are to just
memorize the text books for better performance in the examination. No doubt this
strategy is quite effective for High score in FSc exams. But it is a great hurdle,
besides the usefulness of the entry test as a whole for the nation, for the students
seeking admission in Professional colleges. Majority of our students come from colleges
following traditional system of memorization (rather cramming) so they face a variety
of problems in preparing the entry test. The gap between acquired and required skills,
test takers are suggested to study the text books thoroughly keeping in mind that
they are not going to be appeared in any subjective test, but they are to take ECAT,
which is not a cramming based test but rather a concept and short methods oriented
test. That’s why they are to be dynamic. The general bias that only the text book
cramming, as no question out of books will be included in the entry test is just
a misconception. The reverse results of test takers with high score in FSc but low
score in the entry test is an obvious consequence of this misconception. |
