تَقُولُ المُعَلِّمَةُ: فِي الأَسَابِيعِ الأَخِيرَةِ، رَاجِعُوا قَلِيلًا كُلَّ يَوْمٍ. حُلُّوا وَرَقَةً سَابِقَةً بِتَوْقِيتٍ حَقِيقِيٍّ، ثُمَّ صَحِّحُوهَا. تَدَرَّبُوا عَلَى التَّحَدُّثِ بِصَوْتٍ عَالٍ، وَنَامُوا مُبَكِّرًا لَيْلَةَ الاِمْتِحَانِ.

المُرَاجَعَةُ الذَّكِيَّةُ لَيْسَتْ إِعَادَةَ قِرَاءَةِ المُلَاحَظَاتِ فَقَطْ، بَلْ هِيَ اخْتِبَارُ النَّفْسِ. اِحْلُلْ أَسْئِلَةً، وَتَحَدَّثْ بِصَوْتٍ عَالٍ، وَاكْتُبْ فِقْرَاتٍ قَصِيرَةً. وَرَكِّزْ عَلَى نِقَاطِ ضَعْفِكَ لَا عَلَى مَا تَعْرِفُهُ جَيِّدًا.

خُطَّتِي لِلْمُرَاجَعَةِ النِّهَائِيَّةِ وَاضِحَةٌ. سَأُرَاجِعُ قَلِيلًا كُلَّ يَوْمٍ بَدَلًا مِنَ السَّهَرِ لَيْلَةً وَاحِدَةً، لِأَنَّ الذَّاكِرَةَ تَحْتَاجُ إِلَى تَكْرَارٍ. سَأَحُلُّ وَرَقَةً سَابِقَةً كُلَّ أُسْبُوعٍ بِتَوْقِيتٍ حَقِيقِيٍّ ثُمَّ أُصَحِّحُهَا بِمُعَايِيرِ التَّصْحِيحِ. سَأُرَكِّزُ عَلَى نِقَاطِ ضَعْفِي فِي القَوَاعِدِ. وَيَوْمَ الاِمْتِحَانِ سَأَقْرَأُ كَلِمَةَ الأَمْرِ بِعِنَايَةٍ، وَأُوَزِّعُ وَقْتِي، وَأَتْرُكُ دَقَائِقَ لِلْمُرَاجَعَةِ. أَعْتَقِدُ أَنَّ هَذِهِ الخُطَّةَ سَتَجْعَلُنِي وَاثِقًا وَهَادِئًا.
