Bắt đầu năm học, thi. Kết thúc năm học, thi. Vào trường, thi. Ra trường lại cũng thi. Thi để trả bài cho thầy cô, thi để lấy học bổng, thi để đi nước ngoài, thi để lấy chứng chỉ nọ, bằng kia, hay đơn giản, thi vui để đem lại nụ cười trong đời sống tinh thần cho mọi người như Chiếc nón kỳ diệu, ở nhà chủ nhật Thi gắn liền với sự thành đạt công danh một con người, thi có ý nghĩa hết sức quan trọng trong sự nghiệp của mỗi người. Nhưng, thi lại chỉ được thực hiện trong một khoảng thời gian ngắn ngủi hơn rất nhiều so với quá trình học tập và nghiên cứu của chúng ta. Chính vì thế, kinh nghiệm là một nhân tố đóng vai trò không nhỏ, cần được biết đến trước khi bước vào phòng thi. Trải qua các kỳ thi học sinh giỏi PTTH cũng như Olympic sinh viên môn Tin học, có cơ hội tiếp xúc với các sĩ tử, từ chuyên nghiệp trong giới gà trọi (chủ yếu là những học sinh đã từng tham gia thi học sinh giỏi Tin học PTTH) cho đến nghiệp dư như hầu hết các sinh viên mới tham gia trong những hội thi Olympic Tin học sinh viên, tôi nhận thấy hầu hết các bạn học sinh đều có phương pháp và nhiều thủ thuật làm bài trong khi thi nhưng một bộ phận đông đảo tập trung chủ yếu là các sinh viên tham gia trong các Olympic Tin học toàn quốc lại còn quá ít kinh nghiệm. Sự non nớt đó trong trường thi khiến không ít chiến sỹ phải hy sinh một cách oan uổng. Không đâu xa, trong kỳ thi Olympic 2002 năm nay tại Nha Trang, ở bài 2 bảng chuyên tin, đội của tôi có một anh vì quá say mê với cách giải riêng của mình, không nhận ra đó là một bài hết sức đơn giản mà mọi người hầu như đều đi theo một hướng giải chung nên đã để tốn mất tới 3/ 4 thời gian thi mà vẫn cho ra kết quả sai. Thế đấy, sự cay cú và bảo thủ làm cho con người ta trì trệ và lú lẫn như vậy đó. Mong rằng các bạn trong lúc làm bài thi luôn luôn tỉnh táo phân biệt khó dễ mà chia thời gian làm từng bài cho phù hợp.Tất nhiên sai lầm trên chỉ là một trong vô số những sai lầm mà bất cứ ai khi đi thi đều phải có. Nhưng đó là những trục trặc thuộc mặt tâm lý, tính cách của từng người phải tự sửa lấy. Ta không bàn lĩnh vực đó mà chủ yếu xem xét những kinh nghiệm về phương pháp làm bài thi sao cho hiệu quả. Tôi hy vọng nó sẽ giúp bạn đạt thành công tốt hơn, không chỉ khi thi mà ngay cả trong công việc lập trình của mình.Phân tích Khi gặp một bài toán A nào đó, chúng ta thông thường hay chú ý đến chi tiết cụ thể bên trong mà không có cái nhìn tổng quan hơn một chút về nó : bản chất của bài toán là gì? xuất phát từ đâu?. Sau đó rồi mới xem xét có thể đưa về bài toán B khác đã có thuật toán chuẩn không? Hoặc tương tự với một bài toán C có lời giải tốt? Tôi lấy ví dụ bài Đoán số (đề thi học sinh giỏi quốc gia bảng A 1993-1994), tưởng rằng đó là một bài toán chỉ có thể giải bằng số học nhưng thực ra lại chính là bài toán tìm đường đi trên đồ thị trong đó ta
