In this post, Martina and Joanne share their top tips for revising well and acing your exams …
Use your ILOs
Martina, 2nd year Biochemistry with Medical Biochemistry student
Look at the intended learning outcomes (ILOs) both for the whole module and also for each lecture to make sure you’ve covered everything. If you like to rewrite your notes when revising you could try to break them down by learning outcome and if the ILOs aren’t provided you can try coming up with them yourself!
Make a plan
Joanne, 2nd year History student
When going into essay exams, make a time/word count plan beforehand and make sure you stick to it. Although you won’t know the topic beforehand, having a general plan of attack and overall structure can help a lot to stay on track!
