ABSTRACT
This chapter presents guidelines on preparing and revising for an impending examination, and provides some useful tips for taking the examination itself. Most tutors are more than willing to give students some form of revision session leading up to the examination. Having suggested the potential role of the tutor in the preparation process, it is necessary to consider the role of the student who must ultimately take responsibility for preparing for impending examinations. Mind maps are basically ways of summarising and organising information and ideas, so that the material can be easily recalled from memory at some future point in time. Getting together with a few fellow students and going through a mock examination is a very good idea. The majority of students pass their examinations the first time round. However, if they fail an examination, most courses allow them to resit. If this happens, they will asked to resit at later date and should seek further advice from tutor.
