Preparing for and Writing Exams

One of the most common difficulties students have when preparing for term and final exams is not having allocated enough time for studying. By spending some time planning your study strategy and keeping in mind ways to manage anxiety and time effectively, you should be able to study your course materials systematically and have enough time to cover all material. By scheduling time to write practice exams similar to the final, you can increase your confidence and reduce your exam anxiety.
