Exam Preparation Tips Exams

Begin studying early

- Start thinking about the exam from the beginning of the course. - Revise your notes after each
lecture/class. - Start revising about four weeks before your exams. - Don’t cram the night before
because it is impossible to memorise so much information all at once.

Organise your time - Design a study planner to organise your time. - Revise lecture notes. - Don’t
study for longer than 50 minutes. It’s better to study for short periods with total concentration. -
Don’t study when you’re tired. It’s better to get a good night’s sleep after a short study period,
than to continue until 2am.

Organise your subject material - Gather the materials for each subject. - If you missed a lecture,
borrow copies of lecture notes from another student. - Rewrite your notes to remember them. -
Ask yourself questions to see if you can remember what you just read.

Study hard BUT set limits - Don’t study for longer than 50 minutes without taking a break. - Don't
try to study the entire course in one sitting. - Review any previous exam papers for your course.

The day of the exam - Get a good night sleep the night before. - If your exam is in the morning,
wake up early. - Eat a good breakfast. - Arrive early.

In the exam room - Listen carefully to the instructor’s instructions. - Read the entire exam before
you start to write. - Use the marking scheme to allocate your time. - Answer the easy questions
first. - When you finish, take some time to re-read your work for any errors or omissions. - Attempt
to answer all questions.
