Reflect on your exams

Reflect on your exams

It is a good practice after each exam to reflect on your experience of preparing for and writing the exam. What could you have done differently? Did you prepare sufficiently for the exam? Did you complete the exam? How do you prepare yourself mentally for your exam result?

Reflecting on these questions will give you some perspective on your situation and help you to identify if you need additional support from others.

Reflection must be followed by action. While waiting for your exam results, what things can you start working on now to manage your challenges more effectively? For example, attending to family and health-related problems, talking to a career counsellor about your career and study planning, or planning your study approach for the rest of the year.

Activity

Download and work through the exam self-reflection document. It focuses on planning, study strategies and preparing for exams, and will help you to think about how you could approach your studies differently in the next semester or year.
