Get Ready for Exams

Plan-Monitor-Evaluate Connection

In this part of the book, you will begin by creating a master plan for your exam session for any of your classes. You will return to your Learning Objectives listed on your syllabi or exam preparation materials and determine what you need to know to succeed on your test and exam. You will also plan how you will conduct your review using active learning strategies. As you study, you will want to monitor your ongoing progress with the course content.

Exam time is often a good time for evaluation. You will receive substantial feedback through the process of doing an exam. What is going well for you? What changes would you like to make going forward to continue to improve your study strategies? This chapter will explore exam day strategies to demonstrate our knowledge by answering well and managing exam-day stress.
