We’re now approaching Week 11 of semester and if you haven’t yet started your exam preparation, here are some tips to get you cracking!
- Gather information about your exams. Keep this information within reach such as in a calendar on your phone. What are the dates and times? Which campus and rooms? What are you allowed to bring into the exam room?
- Block out time in your schedule for exam preparation to avoid last minute panics.
- Gather and organise your study notes. Check your unit outlines, lecture topics and unit objectives for the main topics. Organise your notes into main topics and sub-topics. Summarise.
- Go to last lectures for any exam hints!
- Study actively – re-write main points in your own words; mind map key concepts; do revision questions from your textbook or go over tutorial exercises.
- Turn off social media notifications during exam study time. You can check them in your breaks.
