Some questions may require you to write pages while others half a page. Even if you know more than what a lecturer is asking, don’t do oversabi.

Not all lecturers have the luxury to go through scripts to see all your points. If you use just one page to explain one point and they don’t have time to go through the rest, you’ll get a low mark. 

3. Too Much Of TDB No Good

Many people believe TDB is the only way to pass an exam that isn’t through. Lecturers advise that you read lecture notes every day so it’ll be easier to digest everything before the exam. If you rely too much on TDB alone, especially during exams, you may end up remembering nothing in the exam hall and there’s nothing as worse as that.

4. Rest Before Exams

Exam time is not the time to do much reading. It’s the time you’re supposed to revise and answer questions on everything you’ve read so far. If you stress yourself too much on reading during exam time, you’re likely to have a breakdown and I don’t I’ve never heard of anything called a make-up exam..lol

5. Don’t Trust Formation

Some students rely on sitting close to coursemates who can help them after they’ve each chosen topics to read and share the knowledge with others. But as we all know, it doesn’t always work. Even after you’ve done your arrangement the lecturer could decide to scatter you.

6. Don’t Rely On Friends

Relying on friends during exams is also risky. They might not be in the position to help you either because an invigilator’s eyes are fixed on them, they don’t have any idea of the question you’re asking about or they just decide to shenk you. Remember, once beaten, twice. Study well before any examination so nobody will shenk you in the exam hall. 

7. Read Instructions

Reading instructions is one of the keys to passing an exam in UI. So just before you pick your pen to start writing, take five to ten minutes to digest the instructions given. It’s also advisable to examine the rate at which you can answer questions effectively before you choose them. If you choose a question you can’t answer well because everyone is choosing it, you might end up shooting yourself in the leg.
