Proven Exam Preparation Techniques
Time Management
The first obstacle to success is a hectic schedule. People who take control of their time and develop a systematic plan that allows both sufficient and regular preparation time are more likely to be successful than those with more erratic schedules and those who use last-minute, marathon study approaches.
Most people will not find time in their regular routine to study. They will have to create time by eliminating other activities. This involves simply picking a regular time of day, even if it is short (for example, 7:30 to 8:00 A.M.) and dedicating it to preparation activities.
Effective Use of the Study Materials
Making effective use of the primary study materials is the best way to prepare for the exam. These primary study materials are the textbooks, course guides, and practice exams. Supplemental (optional) SMART packages are also available for students.
