A student has only 3 days left before an exam. She hasn’t completed half the syllabus. What’s the best strategy?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
(1) Watch motivational videos to reduce anxiety
Not the most suitable option.
While motivation is helpful, it does not resolve the issue regarding the syllabus. Time is extremely limited.
(2) Sleep less and cover all subjects
Not suitable.
Sleeping less diminishes concentration and retention capacity. Furthermore, covering all subjects within just three days is impractical.
(3) Focus on high-priority and familiar topics
The most suitable option.
This reflects smart prioritization, strategic planning, efficient time management, and
a realistic approach.
(4) Give up and skip the exam
Completely unsuitable.
This demonstrates a lack of perseverance and responsibility.
Therefore, the correct answer is option (3).
