Exam Technique

If you want to do well in an exam, then learning the course content in the first place and revising it helps. But so does good exam technique. Each year, students needlessly throw away marks because they don't use an effective exam strategy.This 30-minute workshop will be followed by a chance to talk to a tutor about developing your own exam strategies.
