Planning Your Exam Timetable

When exam time is approaching you can organise your own exam timetable using following steps:

First check that you don't have any clashes. If you do, see the lecturers concerned to see what you can do.

Next, draw yourself up a timetable for the entire exam period, and any vacant study time the week or so before. Download a four week exam timetable template (20KB, RTF).

Write down all your tasks that you need to do for each course (including preparing summaries of summaries and practicing past papers).

Insert your exam dates and times on the template and allocate days and times to work on each task.
