ABSTRACT
Examinations are a common form of assessment at university/college. You may have considerable experience of them, or very little, depending on your route into university or college. University/college exams may differ from those you have experienced to date, as may the type and amount of material to be revised. Given the importance of exams for most final qualifications, it is well worth considering how to improve your performance. Doing well in exams not only depends on your knowledge, but also on how good you are at revising and handling the exam itself. Even if exams in the early stages of your course do not count towards final grades, they are important in helping you develop your revision and exam techniques. It is helpful to have developed effective strategies before your final exams. If you have a disability which may affect your exam performance, speak to your lecturer as early as possible about alternative arrangements.
