Introduction The following is a brief description of how to revise, prepare and successfully sit written examinations.
Examinations are fair.
They are simply the product of your own unaided work and give you an opportunity to show what you know and understand under time special constraints. Examinations and set essays test different aspects of your skills and knowledge. For example, the set essay will allow you to demonstrate your analytical skills enabling you to present a coherent essay on a specific topic. Examinations allow you to demonstrate your grasp of the key issues of a subject and to simplify complex arguments in a short time. It is this simplification and synthesis which is the key element for you to practice.
