Exam Technique
1. Apart from knowing and understanding the course material
that’s being examined, the way that you answer exam
questions is very important.
2. Because your exam answers are going to be read and marked
by the examiner... who is another human being (well, kind
of!)
3. So, the clearer you make your answer, the easier it will be to
mark it.
4. One good way to improve your exam technique is to try to
put yourself in the place of the examiner – If you were an
examiner, what would you like to see in the scripts that you
have to mark?
