Here are some things to consider for your exam preparation process, whether your exam is on campus or online<\/span>ng<\/h3>\n

If you are permitted to use resources during your exam, have all materials\/notes organized to make it easy to find what is necessary. Consider adding tabs of sticky notes to pages to make navigation easy.<\/span><\/p>\n

Establish what type of exam you will be taking (e.g., synchronous timed, flexibly timed, or take home), where you can find your exam (quizzes versus assignments), and if you will be required to take the academic integrity pledge. The type of exam you will be taking will determine how you should prepare, so find out early so you can create a study plan. Knowing where to access your exam and any pre-exam requirements will help you avoid technical issues and reduce your stress level on the day of your exam.<\/span><\/h3>\n
