        Top 13 helpful advice and useful instructions to engineering students from Sapientia, in order to pass the winter session in honorable conditions. I wish you success. 

1. If you have missed my courses and have not prepared, don't waste your time, instead pray to God.

2. You have attended to comprehensive course. What I don't cover in the lectures, reading and homework, will be covered in the exam.

3. Have you already started studying for the exam? No? Good. Bill Gates said: to be a good Engineer, always start to study late for exams, because it teaches you how to manage time and tackle emergencies.

4. Don’t say you don’t have enough time for exam preparation. You have exactly the same number of hours per day that were given to Thomas Edison, Nikola Tesla, Benjamin Franklin, Mother Teresa and Albert Einstein.

5. The best teachers are those who show you where to look but don’t tell you what to see. So, think before you answer the questions. Remember, success consists of going from failure to failure without loss of enthusiasm. The way to succeed is to double your failure rate.

6. It is very important to be sober when you take the exam. Many worthwhile careers in the street-cleansing, fruit-picking, dish-washing and street-guitar-playing industries have been founded on a lack of understanding of this simple fact.

7. During an exam people look up for inspiration, down in desperation, and left and right for information. In this regard, it is unnecessary to smile at the persons sitting next you, they may also not know the answer, moreover exam hall is not the right place for networking.

8. Exams test your learning, others will test your patience. In all the bad, you need to find something good, because there's always is.

9. Science is not in your mobile phone, is in your head. Possession of unauthorized materials are banned clause in the exam rules covers pretty much all your electronic gadgets. However, if you can cheat without getting caught in the exam, then Engineering is for you.

10. Perfection is the enemy of the Good. Engineering isn't about perfect solutions. It's about doing the best you can with limited resources.

11. Never get your hopes up when the teacher says that the test will be easy. It's good to have a lot of beautiful options in life but at the exam all questions are compulsory. Also it is a depressing moment when you realize that the worksheet is double sided.

12. Generic introduction is generic.You are trained to be an Engineer and not a story writer, answer point to point only to subject. Also you are trained to be an Engineer and not an artist, do not make the illustrations so alive. But flipping the page loudly during the exam, just so everyone knows that you're ahead.

13. Although examinations can be stressful, it is wise to remember that exams are not there as punishment. Instead, they are a good way of testing to see how much information you have learned. Remember that exams are not the be all and end all - they are just one aspect of your student life.😊
