Exam preparation: Test yourself
June 3, 2016
A good way to see how well your exam preparation is going is to test yourself. Start by breaking down your information into topics you need to revise. Once you’ve gathered your information, summarised and memorised it, test whether you really know it. A good way to do this is to find previous exam papers on the topic and sit the parts of the paper that relate to that topic under exam conditions (i.e. timed). This will also help you get used to writing and help avoid you getting writer’s cramp during the exam.
