ABSTRACT

This chapter provides some guidance on how to approach exams in a way that helps to get the best results. It is divided into three sections: revision, understanding the question and exam technique. The chapter highlights revision points and exam tips. To get good exam results, one need to have a good sense of what the exam will be like and what the examiners are looking for, and to revise in a way that will help him prepare to answer the questions well. Revision is not just about learning information; it is also about learning how to use that information well in the exam. Being able to do this is a question not of memory, but of directed revision and concentration in the exam. The key to doing well in an exam is understanding the question. Before starting answer, read the question again very closely. Take note of every word.
