Mistake 6: Not Checking Your Work
Many students finish their paper and sit idle instead of reviewing their answers. Simple errors like calculation mistakes, spelling errors and missed questions go uncorrected.
The fix: Always leave the last ten minutes of every exam to review your work. Read through every answer and correct any mistakes you find.
Mistake 7: Memorising Without Understanding
Students who cram facts without understanding them struggle when exam questions are phrased differently from how they studied.
The fix: Always ask yourself why and how, not just what. Understanding a concept means you can answer it no matter how the question is worded. Check out our guide on [how to read and retain information effectively] for proven techniques.
