What does it take to get through the challenging years of college? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this story, college students from the field of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics are revealing their secrets on how they pass an exam, bounce back after failing one, how to have confidence, and how to pretend like you know what is going on in class. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To what extent are students pushing themselves to pass an exam with a desirable grade? Loreto Paulino, a senior at the University of Guam majoring in Chemistry says his secret to passing an exam is using ChatGPT, an artificial intelligence system. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

He uses AI to create a test based on his notes. \u201cIt\u2019s like having a personal teacher who doesn\u2019t judge me on my bad habits,\u201d Paulino said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the many wins that college students achieve, they also face failure. Paulino shares how he is able to bounce back from failing an exam. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe key is to remember that failing an exam is not the end of the world,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When asked about how he built his confidence during his time as a graduating senior, Paulino says to imagine yourself as a Hollywood star. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou are a Hollywood star and the classroom is your stage. Your classmates are the supporting actors, but you\u2019re the leading role,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

STEM students like Nathan Paz, a junior majoring in Biology under the biomedical track emphasizes that his secret in taking in the defeat of the result of a bad exam is to allow yourself to grieve. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cGo out for a meal or relax while processing the exam score. Don\u2019t beat yourself over it. A failed exam is only one moment in your entire college career,\u201d Paz said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWomen in STEM\u201d is a popular phrase that highlights the impact that women have in a rigorous field of study. Hilary Tirazona, a proud woman also majoring in biomedical, says her secret to passing an exam is time-consuming, soul-crunching and tedious, but it has never let her down, yet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is the traditional way of taking notes, reading, making a study guide, and quizzing yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cConfidence is something that is acquired. It doesn\u2019t stem from thinking that you know everything, but rather, from knowing that you have done all that you can and have given your best effort,\u201d Tirazona said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now that all the secrets of failure and success have been revealed by some students, what do you do when you are in your fourth class of the day and have no idea what is going on?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tirazona says that it is all about making that body language connection with your professor. \u201cLock eyes with your professor, smile, nod, and then type. Just type anything to make it seem like you are writing down everything they just said,\u201d she said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The bottom line is that you are not alone in this college journey of success. Help is offered wherever you may go, and it does not hurt to accept failure throughout the journey. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
