Exams

Exam time can be very stressful, especially during the first year when you are not entirely sure what to expect. However, preparation and practise are key to doing well and not becoming too anxious.

This section will help you to identify and use all of the resources that are available to you, for maximum gain: preparing for exams is a general introduction to revision and exams; using the CMR is a PowerPoint Presentation that advises you on how to use the Course Materials Repository as a revision tool; tips and techniques offers possible solutions to commonly encountered problems relating to such things as organisation, memory retention, and arm-ache; finally, answering exam papers will help you to perform well in the actual exam.

There is also an MP3 that has been written and recorded by staff and students at the University, which provides general advice on revision and exams.
