Interview
 1st interview
After making an appointment with my interviewer, I spent
some time on researching to find the guideline for the answer.

These are the questions

and the one that I am
worried the most are the
one in the boxes. The
reason for me to be
worried is that they are
delicate questions which,
in my opinion, is important
for judging who deserves
the seat.
 1st interview

● After I have done the research, I understand the purpose of

each question and what way and tone should I answer to be
the most effective.
● Therefore, I decide not to write down what I would say
because I don’t want to sound like a robot, so I only plan it in
my head and practice a couple times
○ Weakness: I have trouble communicating under
pressure

(won academic competition and sports
competition) and I can compete for university.
 1st interview
● During the interview, there is a question asking about my strengths which doesn’t
provided, so there are some silence and I didn’t answer well.
● I got ⅚ score from ms. Simran and from her comment, the biggest flaws that I need
to improve are some reluctant and repetitive words that might distract the
interviewer from the content. Other aspects than that such as the idea are great.
● She suggests me to practice more and be prepared for unexpected questions.
 2nd interview
● For this time, I prepare the answer for the questions and also the other questions that university
might ask including why I want to become a dentist, what are my strength, and what do you as a
hobby. I decide to write our only the points I want to talk about for organizing my thoughts and
practice it a couple times.
 2nd interview
● Luckily, this time during the interview, the interviewer ask the additional questions that I prepare
for, so I can answer it vividly.
● She gives a full score for this interview. However, she commented after the interview, that there
are some part that I can be more specific and detailed because if the information of it is too
general, the interviewer can’t get the idea of how it affects me.

● Objective: getting a 800 score in SAT biology
more than 5 times
● By achieving this, I can be certain that I
understand all the core content and master the
test by which I would get 800 score on the SAT
biology test on December 5th. Consequently, I

 1st WOOP
● Planning
○ Since I have studied all the content included in SAT biology through the course provided by ignite
ondemand and I have also took the test once and got 680 score, the thing that I need to do to
improve is review all the content and research about the strategy.
■ Review through mainly reading the books and if I have troubles understanding some part, I
would use the internet for additional info.
■ I got the 24 real test from my friends and I decided to finish at least 10 of them.
○ To be honest, I have just started preparing for SAT on November 8th because I have to prepare for
the BMAT exam until November 4th.

 1st WOOP
● Result
○ I have not achieve my goal of getting 800 score 5 times
(my best score is 770) and I have not finished as I
planned too. I realized that my plan is not practical
because I forgot to take the fact that it is near the end of
the semester into consideration. Therefore, there is too
much work I need to do and also the university
application work too such as portfolio and letter of
recommendation. However, I still satisfy with the result
because 770 is still considered a high score.

follow information through this platform.
■ Take distracting apps off your home screen
● For this one, I choose to delete youtube out of my
phone and use it through the safari of I needed to.
By doing this, it would be more difficult to reach
out to the application and stop using it.
