THE IMPORTANCE OF EXAM TECHNIQUE

Failure through poor exam technique is very common, even for hard working, clever students. But the good news is that the types of mistake are also very common and are easily avoided. We’ll now look at:

  •  Staying cool, confident, calm and relaxed.

  •  Reading the exam paper and selecting the right questions.

  •  Managing your time.

  •  Reading the question.

  •  Answering the question.

  •  What to do after the exam.


Techniques for dealing with the exam are at least as important as being well prepared through revision.

A tutor from a very well known business school was once heard to remark that, with proper technique, you can achieve a pass in any exam without knowing anything about the subject!
 an exaggeration perhaps, but the point is very well made.

Ironically, the effort needed to master these techniques is minimal but the results can be quite amazing. The techniques are easy to understand and apply and they can be referred to quickly and easily as a last-minute reminder.

Students who have covered the course subject matter and a suitable amount of revision have already done the hard bit. Using the techniques outlined in this chapter they can virtually guarantee success. Those who have not worked so hard on the course or revision may well also find that the use of the proper techniques will partly compensate for a lack of knowledge and provide them with a pleasant surprise when the results are received!

THE COMMON PROBLEMS

Typical views of exams include:

  •  ‘I get really keyed up just before an exam and, all of a sudden, I think I won’t be able to remember anything.’

  •  ‘I like to read the exam paper quickly and get stuck into the first question as soon as I’ve got a rough idea of what’s required. I get really worried seeing other people well underway when I’ve not started.’

  •  ‘I always run out of time so I think a good approach is to answer fewer questions than required but do them really well.’

 ‘I hate finding out after the exam that I misunderstood a question. But I usually console myself that I’ve written enough to show the examiner that I know all about the subject really.’

All of this can be easily avoided.

STAYING COOL, CONFIDENT, CALM AND RELAXED

Maintaining a healthy perspective

By now you should be feeling pretty positive. In Chapter 1 you saw how to get a perspective on the whole exam process. You now understand what examiners want and you know how to get them on your side and make it easy for them to award marks. And in the last chapter you saw that the worst is over because all the hard work has been done. But it’s only natural to feel a little apprehensive, and that’s fine as long as this is supported by an underlying feeling of quiet confidence.

A little nervous tension can bring out the best in you during the exam.

If panic starts to set in go somewhere quiet and take a few deep breaths.

  •   Smile to yourself – it will help.

 Don’t do any last minute revision – other than reading this .

Don’t allow any negative thoughts to take hold. Replace them immediately with positive ones. Remember what you learned in Chapter 7 and tell yourself:

 I am in control and I can cope.
     I’ve done everything possible to ensure that I will pass.
       Other people’s actions are irrelevant to my success. I work in a way that suits me.

       Unlike most candidates, I now have the techniques for success. Think about your strengths and recognise the progress made so far.

      A crisis of memory?

      It’s fairly common for students to think at this stage that they can’t remember anything and that their mind has gone blank. This sometimes prompts a frantic last-minute read-through of revision notes. This does nothing to help your performance, it puts you in completely the wrong frame of mind and, as we’ll see, is completely unnecessary.

      It happened to me on virtually every occasion, but each time I found that exam questions prompt sufficient recall as I began to focus on the answer. In fact I found that I usually recalled too much, and knowing what to leave out was more of a problem than remembering enough to put in. Most students find this to be the case.

      Don’t reach for your notes for some last-minute skimming to prompt your recall. You will remember things as you start to read the questions and plan your answers.

      Memory for exams is developed through active revision:

       Making sense of the key ideas.

       Understanding the course concepts rather than trying to learn them by rote.

       Multi-stage revision.

      One very successful student I knew made the effort, on the day of each exam, to clear his head as far as possible and not think at all about what he had revised. He found that this helped him to recall what was needed as he approached each question.

      On the day

      Try to do everything without having to rush:

       Check you have everything you need before you set off, e.g. writing materials, calculators, money for fares, etc.
       Arrive early and use the time to take a short walk.
       Don’t be tempted to take a last minute glance at your revision notes.
         Avoid contact with other candidates as far as possible. If you must travel with or meet friends then agree in advance not to talk about anything related the exam . 
        This may be difficult to achieve but someone is bound to be displaying symptoms of stress and, unfortunately, anxiety can be infectious. So do whatever you can to avoid contact with such people.  If you arrive late, most examining boards will allow you to enter the examination room up to 30 minutes after the start of the exam. In such cases don’t panic (it won’t help), just work within the reduced time available, managing your time accordingly to attempt all questions you are required to complete. 
        It will be even more important than usual to attempt the full number if you are to maximise your chances of retrieving the situation. You’ll just have to do shorter answers – but still write your essay plans. Illness Hay fever can be a particular problem at exam time and for this, or any other problems on the day, it may be worth checking in advance what arrangements exist for informing the exam board. 
        The invigilator or your school/college may have appropriate forms for you to complete, allowing the exam board to consider any individual circumstances. READING THE PAPER AND SELECTING THE RIGHT QUESTIONS Ignoring others The people in the room who began writing within 30 seconds of getting the paper are well on the way to failure. But you should be ignoring everyone else anyway.
