On November 21, 2021, the English Club in cooperation with the Guidance and Counselling Unit, organized a workshop titled 'How to Prepare for an Examination (Essentials and Strategies)' delivered by Javed Ahmed. The purpose of the workshop, which was attended by nearly 20 participants, was to show students that examination preparation is about taking control of the time available and optimizing it for productivity, keeping in mind the knowledge, question, read, recall, and review strategy (henceforth KQ3).
English Club Director, Ali Mansur Al-Qahtani, and Guidance and Counselling Unit Head, Dr. Dawood Mahdi, jointly supervised the event and thanked the students for their attendance, noting that an explanation of the essentials and strategies of objective and subjective forms of questions and their different types will help to reduce stress.
Javed then went deeper into KQ3. He stated that each part of the process is helpful by itself and that students should use what works best for them. He noted that after studying new material that is important to conduct an overall review within 24 hours to maximize comprehension and memory. Javed then explained that the first skim of the material will provide a general framework. He then highlighted that titles could be converted into questions and to actively read will rehearsing answers to their initial questions. "It is important to repeat back to yourselves what the main ideas of the text were in your own words," he said. In short, Javed showed participants how to effectively utilize KQ3 and made students aware of different question steps and techniques they can use to obtain more accurate information and better answers
