Mac: Hi guys. Is everyone set to study for the exams. then? Does anyone have any hints about how to get ready for them? I’m not sure where to start, really. Any ideas, Barbara?
Barbara: Well, Mac there are lots of things we could do. I mean we could start by looking at old exam papers, or we could go through all the lecture notes for each subject. What do you think?
Mac: I think it’s better to go through think WW I mean, the exam topics might have changed since last year. Do you agree, Gerry?
Gerry: Yeah. I think you’re right. The lecture notes will tell us what the main topics of the subject are. Do you think we could ask the tutors what the exam topics might be?
Mac: I think we could ask and they might tell us roughly what to look at. but I don't think they'll tell us exactly what the topics will be.
Barbara: I think it’s a good idea to ask them, just to know what to focus on. So what's next? What do you think about reading all the books on the reading list? Gerry?
Gerry: Ahhh... I don't think that's a very good idea. we can’t read all the books.
Barbara: I think you’re right. What I think we have to do is try to remember the most important details and arguments from the main writers and be ready to use them in the exam.
Mac: Yeah. OK. Then the next thing to do is look at old exam papers and see what kind of questions we might get.
Gerry: Yes. That’s where the old exams will help looking at the gag of question.
Mac: Right. 80 when we've worked out which topics we need to study and remembered the main ideas, we can look at old papers and write a few practice questions.
Barbara: Yes. And that'll help us [fades out] |
