Have you faced any difficulties when revising for the Magister Contest?

I do need your help. So I couldn't wait for other mates to reply.
Basically, revising for the MA contest is one of the things that troubles me these days. I've started revising few weeks ago, but I still have the same horrible feelings that what I'm doing is just reading and reading. So the question that bothers me is how can I keep all what I read in my mind?! I know I have to write essays and draw outlines for the topics of the exam, but laziness is one of my bad habits.
I'm facing also a problem with language ( I mean diction) and if I can say style. For example our teachers prefer that beautiful language, however mine is ... no need to describe it.

I truly appreciate all what you're doing Hush.

sorry to disterb you i m not preparing for the contest but next year if GOD wants.i HAVE read the sample you gave hush about an MA essay i think both language and style are beatiful.DO they take care of the beauty of languag,i mean do they take it into consideration as being part of the correction or not?is it preferable to focus on just one module i mean to revise for example only bri.civ instead of both civs but in detaild and in a good manner?(since i intended to do so) thanks hush you are of a great help.

hello hush,i wanted to start revising for the MA but i didnt find any good thing ,i mean no basis to build upon.so now i think it's preferable for me to quit ,for this year.i hope you can help start my preparation.thak you

Hello,

I was about to ask some questions, but having read all what you wrote I guess I will just repeat the same questions. I may look like an intruder, sign in at the end of the summer to ask questions about the MA, but as Hush have said... I'm not great, and I'm facing difficulties as well. I've succeeded after a hard toil to select what should I revise as lessons and articles. And it's getting easier day after day, although I heavily rely on reading without taking notes. As for the psychological problems, I think it's quite normal to face some disturbing feelings, and stress is inevitable.
Shaun's wishing everybody success in the contest.

hello hush:
Please I need your help though i am a bit late. I feel that I am surrounded by chaos, and I am lost in darkness. Please I need you to choose for me two modernist novels to read in english lit, and thank you.
NB: if any one can help please do it

You said Enhlish lit ? looking for modernist lit ?
well don't look to much then! James joyce or V. woolf are definitively the key two figures of modern Brit Lit, Ulysses by Joyce has been hailed as the emblem of all 20th C novels where he used his pionering technique, the stream of conciousness, Dubliners( a serie of short stories) will give you a good read too, ot's all about contemprory Irland as well as its contemprory issues, i think the novel is available on the net.
As for the second, I suggest one of Virginia's works, like Joyce, she has been best known for her flow of thought that may take a pages n pages without putting a single coma nor any kind of punctuation. MRs Dollaway or To the Lighthouse might be a good choice for you.
You can check D.H Lawrence works as well as far as you mentioned modern lit, for example Women in Love.
Regards !

Thanks a lot dear wonderland. What I have been searching exactly is two novels that can help in MA exam. Yes, i have found plenty of novels but i did not want to pick two at random. Thanks a lot for your help and may Allah reward you.

Cheers !
