Preparation for 3rd semester exam
At home
Read (all?) the pages in the curriculum carefully:
- Start filling your "black holes" (the subject you don't know anything
about).
- Make a detailed plan on what to read - and when.
- Avoid "exponential reading": Tomorrow I'll have to read twice as much as I
read today.
- Don't plan to read anything on the last day before the exam.
- Find a reading "buddy": Someone that you can phone when there is something
you don't understand.
- Mail the teacher if you still don't understand.
- Make notes useful at the exam preparation.
- Every time you finished reading a subject, make an outline (some
headlines) on the subject.
- Pack your bag according to the "Checklist for exams"
At the exam
- Start reading the question: All the pages.
Ask the teacher if you don't understand the question.
- Answer the questions from first, to last
Keep the sequence
- Pay attention to the theoretical questions.
You may have to look things up in your books, etc.
