University Exam and Memo Report

Hello everybody,
The last weeks were really exhausting, I had to study a lot for my exams.
I wrote exams in all my subjects especially my first one in English.
Later on, I will explain you have I prepared myself for this Exam.
Anyhow, it was a very exciting day today.
We got the grades of our English exam as well as the second Memo Report.
To shortcut, I passed both and I am especially satisfied about the Memo Report.
As I told you I tried to make it as professional as possible.
Thereby, I also tried to minimize mistakes in Grammar and other fields of Errors.
With the "Self-check Error List" provided by our teacher, I now can look for all my mistakes and the frequency I used to do those mistakes.
Following, our "Self-check Error List":

Evaluating both Memo Reports I recognized that I will have to focus in future more on the use of gerunds.
Furthermore, I think I could have easily avoid the spelling mistakes by giving my reports to others to check them on mistakes.
I will work with and on this list furthermore to gain more academic writing skills.

Concerning my English exam I would like telling you how and why I prepared for my Exam.
Firstly,  I tried to refresh and to refill my knowledge of academic business vocabulary.
Therefore, I learned the Academic Word Lists by heart.
I used a special vocabulary learning program for that. This was facilitating looking for words that I already knew and that I still had to learn.
For MAC-user I can recommend a freeware called "Provoc" published on following webpage:

Furthermore, I made use of an example exam that we discussed a weeks  before the actual real exam.
This was contributing, because with that I was able to focus more on my actual problem parts of the exam that were for instance linking words as well as special words from the AWL.

I would like to end this entry with a funny exam situation ;)
