(multi-choice, short answer, long answer, programming, design, essay…)  \n􀀡 How much preparation time do you need for each exam; each part of the exam; each topic in the unit  \n􀀡 Track your exam study progress  \n=> Prepare a“study diary” for your exam preparation including dates, times, to-dos, what done, how did on practice exam, etc  \nUse your time wisely   \n􀀡 You have assignments/projects due, 3-4 exams, maybe other commitments (part-time work, family,…)  \n􀀡 How much time do you have?  \n􀀡 How much does each unit need (for exam study)?  \n􀀡 When are you going to do it (Mondays? At night? Weekend? On train?…)  \n􀀡 Make sure all units, unit topics get enough – don’t get “stuck”on“hard” one(s) only  \n􀀡 Priority \\#1: pass the exam (and the unit)  \n􀀡 Priority \\#2: do well in the exam (and the unit)  \nPlan your exam strategy   \n􀀡 Depends on the type of questions/exam; how prepared you are:  \n􀀢 What is the marks breakdown e.g. 50% MCQ, 25% short answer, 25% long answer  \n􀀢 Which bits can you do e.g. basic designs, programming  \n􀀢 Which bits can’t you do e.g. OO design, advanced programming  \n􀀢 How long is each bit likely to take to do?  \n􀀢 I suggest tackle the bits that (i) will get you good number of marks and (ii) you can do reasonably quickly and (iii) you are familiar with/confident with  \n􀀢 Then tackle stuff worth good numbers marks/some confidence  \n 􀀢 Leave hard stuff, stuff not worth many marks to last, takes long  \nStrategy Example   \n􀀡 40% MCQ, 30% short answer, 30% long answer  \n􀀡 Basic programming questions, advanced programming, design, testing  \n􀀡 I’m confident with basic programming & design  \n􀀡 I tackle:  \n􀀢 (i) ¾ of the MCQ on basic prog/design – quick, I’m confident, lots of marks, then 2 out of 4 short answer (quick-ish)  \n􀀢 (ii) 2 out of 4 of long answer programming/design  \n􀀢 Do (iii) MCQ on testing, advanced – hard but quicker/good marks  \n􀀢 (iv) Short answer on design/testing  \n􀀢 Lastly if time left, (v) check earlier answers then (vi) rest of long answer questions (hard, not many marks, takes long)  \nKey Exam Dos   \n􀀡 Put your name &ID on the exam  \n􀀡 Write CLEARLY (as best you can; do what I say,not what Ido!!)  \n􀀡 Carefully read the question -and answer the question 􀀣  \n􀀡 If in doubt about question meaning, not assumptions on script  \n􀀡 Clearly mark MCQ answers  \n􀀡 Syntax is *usually* marked too hard in programming (though check with your convenors’comments on this!)  \n􀀡 Previous exam papers:  \n􀀢 Do a practice to gauge what good at/what need to study more  \n􀀢 Do another practice (timed) to see how long takes (to help you to use your time in the best way in the exam)  \n􀀡 Review assignments and projects done:  \n􀀢 Tasks you were asked to do; what you did  \n􀀢 Feedback – what did well? Not so well? Can you answer practice exam in these areas??  \n􀀡 Review Lectures/labs/tutorials:  \n􀀢 Summarise key points, key tasks done e.g. bullet point notes-can use these notes to help“quick” revise; making the notes themselves is great revision!!  \n􀀢 Try and redo example tasks and compare to lecturer answers  \n􀀢 Focus on (i) improving areas in exam worth a lot of marks and (ii) areas  \n weaker at but a good chance of improving  \n􀀡 Tutor:  \n􀀢 Feedback on assignments, test  \n􀀢 Specific difficulties with material  \n􀀡 Convenor:  \n􀀢 Topics in exam, format of the exam  \n􀀢 Practice exam questions (and maybe answers)  \n􀀡 Student administration:  \n􀀢 Exam timetable problem  \n􀀢 Apply for special consideration e.g. ill on day of exam, issue impacting study leading up to exam  \n􀀡 Student services:  \n􀀢 If extra time needed e.g. a disability challenge  \n􀀡 Material you are confident with:  \n􀀢 Review l","cbCaieXOo3ywlMOa","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaieXOo3ywlMOa","pdf",217300,11,"English","# Key tips-summary\n## Be organised\n## Use your time wisely\n## Plan your exam strategy\n## Key Exam Dos","[{\"question\":\"How should you start organizing for exams?\",\"answer\":\"List your exam dates, available study time, and the exam formats.
