Know criteria
This means knowing what the key areas of assessment are and the proportion of marks for each question. Look at your course guide and talk to your teachers to find out this information, so as to allocate the right amount of time in the exam and for exam preparation. From this information you should be able to map out what you need to be focusing on and which questions needs more time. Knowing the criteria and study questions will give you a basic orientation to excel in college exams.
Revise
It is a good idea to start revision at least two weeks before the examination. Participate in study groups to better understand what is required and revise the key areas more effectively. Learn specific areas to be assessed to teach to your study group. This will minimize the time you spend revising and orient you in the best way for the exam. Meet with your study group as often as you can.... once every 3-4 days is a good start but it does depend on your learning style and study preferences.
Create a cheat sheet approximately 1-1.5 pages in length, so as get the bare essentials of the examination area. Remember to be concise in preparing your cheat sheet. It should only jog your memory and orient you in study. How you design and adapt your cheat sheet should depend on your study style.
Practice
Practice exams are vital in making the best of your ability and revision sessions. Do practice exams in real time so as to practice under the time and stress conditions of the actual event. Be sure to go over your practice exams to review areas of concern.
