Study method the day before writing an information processing article + memorization tips

I passed the written information processing technician test. As a non-major studying written questions, I found it difficult to memorize the words because they were unfamiliar to me.

However, I would like to tell you how I studied the day before the exam (10AM to 8PM, lunch pass) and was able to pass!

!!!!! The prerequisites are explained on the premise that you have studied Oracle DB to some extent and have studied coding to some extent.

(You may be able to pass with a zero base without knowing anything about the content, but I think it will be difficult.)

First, let’s look at the exam subjects. Of course, you should study at your leisure, but if you don't have time to study for an exam or are preparing to cram, you should figure out what subjects are covered first!

There are a total of 5 written questions for information processing technicians.

1. Software design

2. Software development

3. Database Rescue

4. Utilize programming languages

5. Information system construction and management

First of all, if you think about subjects 1 and 2 with common sense, you can figure out how to design and develop them, and if you read them, you'll get something like, "Yes, that's right."

(Of course, if you dig deep, you will need detailed knowledge in any field, but if you are just looking to pass the exam, it is okay to just understand the content.)

>> Learn the definitions of important words you don't know. The test book I used was a sujebi, and on both sides it told me the importance of the content and the parts to memorize, so I focused on that part and moved on.

I took subject 3 last and quickly because I had experience using Oracle, so it was easy to understand the content. So, I looked at the content again, only the parts I didn't know, and quickly solved a few of the past questions that appeared at the end of each chapter. I only learned what I didn't know about the problem and moved on.

There was a lot to memorize in subjects 4 and 5, so I decided not to memorize them?!

A strange phenomenon occurred where I couldn't memorize things when I tried to memorize them, so I read the chapters quickly (as if looking at a leaflet) without memorizing them, and while reading them again, I highlighted the words that I thought were important or core content.

And I studied by quickly organizing the content in Excel using the highlighter. Below is the information I entered during my actual study. Although it is not well organized, I have summarized the parts I needed. It was helpful to arrive early on the morning of the test or at the testing center to take a closer look.

+ How to memorize without memorizing

When people see the same content here and there or through different means, they naturally remember it. So, if you watch it often, you will remember it longer, and the method I used to watch it several times the day before was YouTube.

If there was a word or content I didn't know and I thought I couldn't memorize it or didn't understand the concept, I watched a short video to understand it. You can get the concept right by watching just three short videos.

For example, if you don't know about blockchain, you can focus your studies more by watching blockchain videos and related Bitcoin videos.

There is a saying that the information processing technician test has become more difficult, but I am not sure about the change in difficulty because I did not solve it before the change. However, everyone said that the level of difficulty was easy, and since only simple problems that focus on simple memorization are presented rather than twisted problems, I think anyone who studies properly will be able to pass.

I think the actual exam time is about 1 hour and 30 minutes, which is enough to the extent that most people check out at the actual test site when they can. I wrote this down briefly and it was time to look back on my time preparing for the exam. I hope every test taker who reads this passes!
