Exam Tips
- Do not open too many tabs. This usually results in technical difficulties and platforms crashing.
- Do not attempt to open the exam from multiple devices.
- Review each concept thoroughly and solve the practice questions without looking at the solution. This gives you a better idea about your preparedness and common mistakes you may be making.
-
Prepare a reference sheet while reviewing the material for the final exam. Reference sheet could be a 1-2 page concise summary of the important/exam relevant material from the course for quick reference. This may include formulae, important rules etc. With timed exams, having to look through the material to solve a problem eats up from the critical time to work on the problems. A reference sheet is much faster to refer to during the exam than looking through the book and other lecture material.
-
Key to performing well on the open book assessments is to have a very good understanding of all the concepts and not really needing to open the books during the assessment. Prepare for the open book exam as you would for a closed book exam with some reference sheet help.
- For multi-part questions - it is not always the case that to complete the next part, you have to solve previous parts already. So, do not give up, read each part carefully and see what you can do.
- You need to be efficient with your time. Not having to look at the material repeatedly during the exam will save you some much needed time. Time yourselves well.
