Create a timetable, which includes your assessment and exam dates, study periods, work hours and downtime. Ensure a realistic balance!

Use exam consultation opportunities to ask questions about material you are unsure of or less confident about. We are here to help!

Keep hydrated and well-nourished. Look after yourself and make sure you get some sun.

Attempt practice exams after you’ve reviewed the course and use them as a trial to see how well you understand the material. Complete these tests under the same conditions that your real exam will be in.

Carefully read the assessment and exam guidelines for each of your courses. This will allow you to be fully informed prior to starting these tasks and help ensure you cover the right material.

If your assessment allows it, and you can complete the questions in any order, answer the question you feel most comfortable answering first. This will ease any nerves and allow you to tackle the more difficult questions in a calmer state.


CBE wishes you all the best with your final assessments and exams for Semester 2, 2021!
