Welcome to the Exam Preparation and Test Taking Workshop!

The focus of this workshop is on helping you improve your study habits and test taking abilities.

  • Learn from your mistakes.
The workshop begins with a self evaluation which is designed to give you feedback about the effectiveness of your current exam preparation and test taking practices. The rest of the workshop is broken up into three sections, Pre-Exam, During Exam, and Post-Exam which discuss many issues related to a variety of types of tests.
