Preparing for online exams

The best way to do well on an exam is to plan a study schedule well in advance of the examination date. The following tips and strategies will help you develop good study habits and do well in your courses.

1. Review the course content

If there is anything that is not clear, consult your instructor for assistance through the helpdesk. Put all quizzes, assignments, projects, and midterm dates into your personal calendar. Then, set reminders!

2. Understand the learning platform

Ensure you have downloaded the necessary apps and have sufficient bandwidth to complete online exams and assignments.

3. Take responsibility for your learning

Develop your study skills: create a study schedule, find your study space(s), disable or mute social media and other distractions, break content down, take scheduled breaks, watch video actively and practice on your own.
