Open book exams
It is important to remember that you must also be as thoroughly prepared for an open book exam as for a closed book exam.
- Be clear on what you are allowed to take into the exam.
- Know your texts well.
- You will not have time on the day to look for and make sense of new information.
- Decide on a system that allows you to efficiently find the information you might want in the exam, for example, key formulas.
