During one of the previous CITN diet exams, one of my students had this issue- overconfidence.
Tobi last diet, finished the syllabus and
solved enough CITN past questions
and was ready to attack CITN from
anywhere CITN chose to pick questions from.
He did not know that he could fail that course.
Tobi had four courses left in Skills level.
He prepared well for two courses and the
other two courses, he did not prepare well for it.
In the exam hall, after attempting the two papers
he did not prepare well for, he did a re-check
to see any aspect that had errors and corrected it.
But for the other courses, he was too sure,
So he felt reviewing the work was not necessary
because he was so certain of what he wrote.
See some disadvantage here:
1. Overconfidence makes you to rate your
competence too high and makes you enter
into situations that are beyond your controls.
At the end of the day, there will be a
disconnection between what you think you know
(perceived ability) and what you actually know (reality).
2. It will allow you to start having
some thoughts that are not reasonable
which eventually leads to failure.
3. Overconfidence will not allow you
to do proper findings on the area of your weakness.
4. It will make you to be intolerant,
you will be so full of yourself,
you won’t want to hear other’s opinions
When CITN result was released,
Tobi with his confidence went to check his result.
Tobi was surprised at the outcome,
He passed the two courses he thought
he did not prepare well for.
And
failed the other two courses he thought
was a concluded matter. He felt disappointed,
and was curious about what happened.
My question to him was,
“Did you review your work before submitting?”
Sometimes, over-confidence will make you
not to review questions properly before giving solutions,
and you’ll end mixing things up-
giving the right answer to the wrong question
and this will lead to failure.
However, it is not an excuse for
lack of confident in yourself.
Believing in your self will come
when you are sure to have done your best
by solving past questions in the Member’s area,
covering the video lecture at least two times,
attending the telegram class and participated.
I trust you will put in your best
into this CITN April diet exam and
make sure you understand the question
before giving solution…. YOU ARE THE BEST…
P.S: “When you get overconfident, that’s when
something snaps up and bites you” ~Neil Armstrong
