Week 6
In week 6 we learned the fundamentals of preparing
for, and taking objective as well as essay exams.
When preparing for an exam you want to begin by
gathering as much information as you can about the exam you will be taking. Doing this
will help you better prepare for your exam. A list of helpful information to gather
prior to your exam is listed below:
·
What type of questions will be on the
exam i.e. essay, multiple choice
·
How many questions will be on the test
·
What chapters or lectures will be
covered on the exam
When preparing for an exam, using a 5 Day Study Plan
is also a very helpful tool. Using a 5 Day Study Plan allows you time to prepare for
your exam, as well as study for it over the course of 5 days, leading up to your
exam date. A 5 Day Study Plan allows you to break down the information that you
are studying down in smaller chunks, and work on each chunk for a few hours each
day leading up to the exam. When setting a 5 Day Study Plan remember you can
always revise it. If you find that you have overestimated how long it would
take you to study a particular section, you can transfer the remainder time to
an alternate section. An example of a 5
Day Study Plan is shown below:
