Amount of revision for the lab exam does not coincide with lab exam score. However, those students
who cram for the lab exam, and put in a lot of hours in the day beforehand may well be the ones who
have a poorer understanding of the course, and are worried about the exam. It has been suggested that
the poorer students memorise the lab exam ‘parrot fashion’, which would require more time. Better
students understand the program they are required to reproduce, and so spend fewer hours on revision.
They understand the semantics of programming, and know the syntax, and so just learn the basic
program structure. For the poorer students, the lab exam may be more of a test of memory, whereas the
class test really is a test of understanding, as it consists of unseen written questions, and so they obtain
lower scores.
