Further information

•     The questions on the exam will be of varying levels of difficulty. Please review the material carefully and make sure you understand all the concepts.

•

•     The exam will consist of 33  questions. You will be able to go back to previous questions during the assessment.

Exam Tips

•    Review each concept thoroughly and solve the practice questions without looking at the solution.This gives you a better idea about your preparedness and common mistakes you may be making.

•    Prepare a reference sheet while reviewing the material for the exam. Reference sheet could be a 1–2 page concise summary of the important/exam relevant material from the course for quick reference. This  may  include  formulae,  important   rules  etc.  With  timed  exam,   having  to   look  through  the material to solve a problem eats up from the critical time to work on the problems. A reference sheet is much faster to refer to during the exam than looking through the book and other lecture material.

•    Key to performing well on the open book assessments is to have a very good understanding of allthe concepts and not really needing to open the books during the assessment. Prepare for the open book exam as you would for a closed book exam with some reference sheet help.
