Improving Your Examination Performance

In addition to attending the Examination Workshops organised by the Counselling Service what else can you do for yourself? If you are a first year Science student then somewhere under the accumulation of paper which represents your university education so far, you might be able to find a copy of the Science Faculty Handbook Improving Your Performance as a Science Student.

I make no rash assertions that this Handbook is priceless (only $1.50 from the Cashier, Robert Stout) but it does contain an article which could help you to improve your examination performance. Entitled "Assessment and Examination - You do want to pass, don't you?", it offers commonsense advice distilled from years of experience of university examinations. It offers you the chance to learn from others' experiences and it is general enough to be of benefit to students in other faculties.

If you do not have the Handbook (or have not taken time to read it) science students at all levels will find the seven other articles useful for the university studies that lie ahead. And we should not overlook another examination consideration - good luck, I hope you get the exam results you want.
