Wondering how best to prepare for your exams? Not sure how to plan your time when revising? Worried about personal circumstances that might affect taking your exams? What happens if something goes wrong during an exam?
The exam assistance drop-in is here to help you prepare for your exams. It’s an hour-long session including a presentation and an opportunity to ask any question you want about exam preparation, such as how to revise effectively, how to manage your time in the run-up to your exams, and how to plan your exam once it starts.
The drop-in is also a time when you can raise any concerns you have about circumstances that may impact upon your capacity to take an upcoming exam. Specialist Study Skills Tutors Joel Petrie and Joel Roberts will be on hand to answer your study skills questions, whilst Wellbeing Advisor Philip Newton will be available to answer questions about issues that may affect you taking your exams, and what you can do if your exams don’t go the way you hoped.
The drop-in is being run by the Specialist Study Skills team. The Team supports students with diverse study needs (e.g. Specific Learning differences, mental health problems, and those on the Autistic Spectrum), who may particularly benefit from attending, though no evidence is required to access this support and all students are welcome at the session.
The sessions are running on the following dates:
