Exam Prep

I used this sample exam to warm up.

This is a quiz I took long time ago, but the same question appear on my exam recently.

You can see the questions are almost same to some extent.

This is a question in my exam.

My blog's topic is Exam Preparation this week. I personally believe that exams might be the most significant part for a great number of courses, especially for some Natural Sciences subjects, such as Math and Physics. So for me exams will really mean a lot during this semester because I enrolled in MAT 295 and AST 104. Basically, my final grades for these two courses are based on six exams. So I have to treat each one of those six exams as the final exam during this semester, in other words, I can make no mistake. I think well preparation can really help. Today, I want to talk about how to use previous exams to do my exam prepararion.

First of all, as the textbook says, you can use previous exams to create your own questions. There might be millions different ways to ask you for the information you learnd, but there will be only one way appear on the exam. So read previous exams carefully can really help. For me, I utilized this strategy for my first astronomy exam. By studying the sample exam I know which part information my professor would get interested in.

Second, I noticed that there are also some other ways to use previous exams. For example, I used my math sample exam for warming up before the real one came. I had my first math exam at 8:00 am, and I guess the rest two of them will also begin at 8:00 am. I don't want the first thing I do in the early morning is finishing my math exam because I swear the result will be tragic. So I put a warming up exam before the real one.

Last but not the least, I realize that sample exams which are provided by professors might not be the only source for previous exams. I mean you can also use those quizzes and exams which you have taken before as your important previous exams materials when you prepare for your next exam.
