So! Let us move to the next topic which is about the study tips!

Cool right!! Yes this is image of reading room in ECC ( ewha campus complex) during the study week! Of course there will be lots of people , staying up to study and revise what did they learn.

During the exam week the library and reading rooms are open for 24 hours. They just have the specific time that you are not allowed to go out from the building which is from 12:00 am to 5:00 am

 This is the place for me to study and hibernate(??) during the exam weeks. Hahaha.

I sometimes study at home or in the Engineering Library  . Sometimes in coffee shop. There is no 24 hours-open coffee shop around Ewha. However, you can go to Sinchon area and you can find few coffee shops open for 24 hrs.

I also have revision time with my tutor during tutorial time. Assignments! For me that is an important part in revising thing. I heard that Korean students have past year questions , that makes them can answer most of the exams properly. ( This is why you have to be friend with them and ask them bout that). It can help too.

Actually... I don't have specific study methods . I just follow my timetable ( not really!) but if possible you should revise what did you learn on that day before you are going to sleep. ( This is what my friend said to me during high school tho!) and you have to focus what are the important keys in certain subjects and what the professor want u to understand.

Wow! I can't believe that I can write the whole entry using English. The reason why I seldomly write in English and more to Malay language because I.don't .really. have. confident. to write long entry by using English. I know. I kinda worried about my grammar, vocab and sentences etc etc. I just consider this is the part of learning process and I will try to improve my English better! I do have confidence in speaking ( broken English maybe? haha) better than my writings. I am not that good in writing. haha. Why on earth I talk about this unimportant matter haha

As usual! If you have any comments, suggestions or questions you may ask and drop comments below.

Thank you. Will update in 2 weeks. Because I'm going back to Malaysiaaaaaa!!! waaaa bye Koreaa bye all .
