On the other hand, rest assured that you will not be asked unnecessarily obscure questions. Preparing for Exams Writing an examination is not like writing an assignment. You have only two hours, without books, to answer three questions. You won't be able to give detailed citation of sources or long quotes. You will not be wasting your time during revision if you refresh your memory on the general points of writing essays.
Students study in different ways.
You must choose a method which works for you and fits in with your other commitments. One principle which will apply to everyone, however, is that you must do more than just read over your assignments. You will need a good knowledge of the unit as a whole, how it fits together and what the major themes are. Attending the Examination Obviously if you do not attend the exam and have not made alternative arrangements you will score zero. Remember to bring your examination notification letter and personal identification so that the supervisor will know who you are.
