In-school
School exams test coverage and standard wording, not trick questions.
Turn the syllabus into a checklist
Split the syllabus into items and mark each as known, shaky or unknown. Revise only the last two.
- Order the list by chapter, not by page number
- Revisit known items every two weeks
- Clear the shaky ones early
Writing long answers
Marks usually sit along position — parameters — image appraisal. Following that order scores better than listing jargon.
- Conclusion first, reasoning second
- Give parameter ranges, not one bare number
- Appraise the image point by point
Always follow your institution's notice for the exam scope.
