Default Ten Tips for Exam Success
Ten Tips for Exam Success


Select a productive study location

q Choose an area free from distractions (roommates, television, computer).

q Suggestions: library, study lounge, student center, coffee shop


Prepare in advance

q Use a day planner and designate specific times to accomplish specific tasks.

q Avoid “cramming”


Analyze your old exam results

q Consider what types of questions you missed (multiple choice, short answer, matching, etc.).

q Where did the exam questions come from (textbook, lecture, study aid)?


Decide on and adopt the study strategies that work best for you

q Keep in mind that different types of exams/classes will require you to use different study strategies.


Practice what will be required of you on the exam

q If your exam is problem based, work on problems (it does little good to just read your math book).

q If your exam is all essay, spend some time considering what topics will likely be covered and make a brief outline.


Be assertive in seeking assistance

q Utilize office hours

q For tutoring resources available at NIU: http://www3.niu.edu/airs/tutoring.html


Stay relaxed and confident

q Remind yourself that you are well-prepared and are going to do well.

q Choose a good spot to take the exam (enough room to work, away from any distractions).

q Don’t talk to other students before the exam; anxiety is contagious.


When writing an essay exam, get right to the point:

q State your main point in the first sentence.

q Use the first paragraph to provide an overview of your essay.

q Use the rest of your essay to discuss supporting points in detail.

q Back your points up with specific information and examples from readings and lecture.


Leave time to review your exam

q Make sure you have answered all of the questions.

q Proofread your writing for spelling, grammar, and punctuation.

q Check your math answers for careless mistakes.


Reward yourself after the exam

q Take some time to do something you like to do (read a magazine, exercise, see a movie).

q Once the exam is over, do not dwell on past mistakes or immediately start studying for your next exam.
