Preparation for essay exams..........Wednesday, 10 April 2013, 09:46 PM


Hello,

It has been several years since my last essay exam. These are some of the techniques that I have used in the past. When preparing for an essay exam I thoroughly read the material, paying extra attention and thinking of possible questions as I read. I would go back and make notes regarding key issues and associated information. When the professor stressed certain areas, I concentrated on those. I also asked which areas required more consideration. I was always given positive advice.


What I have to be careful with is sticking to the questions asked and paying attention to the time. I sometimes tend to get overly inspired and tend to elaborate more than I should. I have a tendency to do that when I talk also. I have got to stay on task and watch the time.



I did have an essay exam.  I had gone over this lesson prior to that test and I kept these techniques in mind.  I made an “A”.  Thank you for including this lesson.
