Why doesn’t the man worry about the coming examination?

W: Oh, my God! I don’t know how to deal with the coming exams. Michael, you always do quite well in the exams. Could you help me out?
M: I can’t say I do well in my exams. I only follow the rules of study.
W: The rules? Could you explain in detail?
M: Sure. I never wait until the last minute before the exams. We must work hard during the whole course of our study.
W: Right. I should avoid the last-minute rush.
M: Anyone who waits until the last minute to learn the work of an entire course will be up against two problems.
W: What are they?
M: First, he’s punishing himself for not allowing himself enough time to digest basic materials; second, he’s causing emotional anxiety and physical fatigue which will lower his performance.
W: That’s right.
M: All course materials should be reviewed at least once a week after being originally studied, again at a midway point, and then again in final review before the exams.
W: In this way, students can avoid drinking black coffee for all night cram sessions. By the way, could you tell me how to review the entire text?
M: OK First, don’t read the entire text over again. Just read the outlines. Rereading of the basic works should be kept to minimum.
W: I think my notes should be helpful.
