This week we look at why exam technique matters - the more working memory students can free up to write good answers, rather than figuring out what they need to do and how long they have got left, the better. This episode covers 5 things that students should practice to help make an exam go smoothly:
Knowing the rubric
Overall plan of attack
Managing timing (including extra time)
Breaking down the question
Spotting traps
