Remember to review what is going to be in the exam, including: what topics will be covered what will be provided what you will need to remember (e.g. formulas) and what you can take in with you. Check your subject information and note any advice provided in your classes. Ask your lecturer if you are unsure.

Establish a note-taking system, to record what is delivered in lectures and tutorials, and review your notes regularly. Remember, to really understand something, you need to actively engage with it. During a study session, instead of just re-reading your notes, try active learning techniques: Test yourself by practicing individual questions from your tutorials or past exam papers. Summarise in your own words and then explain or demonstrate it to someone else. Include relevant examples in your summaries including quotes, worked mathematical examples, etc. Critically evaluate – don’t just accept the information as is. Ask questions and note down strengths and weaknesse s. Seek advice early from your lecturer if you don’t understand something. Plan out your study sessions. Research shows that spaced learning works far better than massed learning (cramming). So, instead of trying to cram your study in the night before the exam, break your study into shorter, regular sessions throughout the semester. This works because: It allows your brain to process the information and move it from short-term to long-term memory. Revisiting material strengthens the neural pathways and connections, making it easier to recall and see the connections between information later. Shorter, focused sessions are less mentally exhausting. Studying at a time of day when you work well helps you to stay focused.
