Before you start writing…
1) Read the questions thoroughly and understand
2) Ensure you have included the contents you’re expected to use, e.g., concepts, example(s), or relevant theories.
3) If you require any assistance, ask the invigilator, but it shouldn’t be about the understanding of the questions.

When you are busy writing…
Write your answers (including diagrams or charts) clearly in the same exam paper, you may ask for blank pages if you run out of space.
But save some time (e.g., 5-10 minutes) at the end to double check if you omit anything.
Specific instructions
All questions will be discussion/essay type questions,
You’ll have to demonstrate your analytical skills.
Not enough to just ‘copy&paste’ from lecture notes;
Different people may have very different solutions to the same problem.
It’s not true that the longer your answer, the better!

Exam Skills and Common Mistakes
◦ Revise systematically ALL lecture notes, further reading, etc., before concentrating on the highlighted topics/sections that (you believe) are more likely to show up in this exam
◦ Core text (helps especially with your expression, from bullet points to paragraphs) and other recommended books
◦ Understand the layout
◦ Some of the past paper questions are not corresponding to
this year’s content – just ignore them
Tips – before the exam:

Tips – during the exam:
Take your time at the beginning to read all the questions carefully
If you do not know the answer for the question, do not write about other topics as your answer; you will not get the marks. Instead look at a different question, how much can you answer that question instead?
If you do know the answer for the question, write as much/detailed/thorough as you can, but in proportion to the allocated mark value.
Common Mistakes to avoid
Where examples were specifically asked for they were not given as part of the student’s answer
If a question asks for examples, this means that a significant number of the marks have been allocated for examples
If you do not give examples, you will not get those marks
Some of the examples that were given were completely irrelevant – so marks were not awarded for them

Common Mistakes to avoid
Many students wrote very little
It is impossible to receive significant marks, and certainly not 25 marks, when so little is written.
