The super quiz isn't anything like the end-of-semester exam. It's just all of the quizzes throughout the semester compiled into one massive quiz. If you want to see what the exam is going to be like, try the practice exam. It's only 14 questions but it really gets you to think. I thought I was doing fairly well in psych but only got 50% in the practice exam. Better get studying, we'll all need it.

Definitely read the textbook, but only the parts covered in lectures. It's quite a bit, but it's important if you want to get better than a pass, I guess.

As far as I know, no-one has ever got 100% in the final exam before (at least not for the last 6 years). The final exam does tend to be pretty hard, and they throw in a lot of wordy problems to trick you.

While lectures are obviously the most important thing to be studying off, the textbook is useful if there is a concept in the lectures you don't understand fully, or if the lecture notes are just dotpoints, the textbook can be better because it's easier to remember things when they're written out properly.

Some more tips:

(This part is in your reader)



So from this you can determine which areas you need to concentrate on. I did a simple exercise where I wrote down after each of the percentages, what my best estimate of my knowledge in that particular field was. Then I wrote the percentage remaining that I stood to gain from studying it. For example:

Statistics / 17 Qs / 11.1% / 3% (my estimate knowledge) / 8.1% (what I stood to gain).

So if I dedicated some time to Statistics, I stood to gain an extra 8% (out of 65%). If you are struggling with any one particular subject, work out exactly how many marks you stand to gain from continuing to struggle with it. Or if you should turn your attention to another that needs further study. It's not exact, but it helps you plan your study.

Also for each subject, half the questions will be rather easy and half will be a lot harder.

So for example Personality: 8 will be easy, 8 will be tougher.

Hope that helps, best of luck. :sun:

wow.. thanks for the great suggestion , although 2 days left to the exam ! anyway I agree planning to concentrate parts that I hope to pick up more marks from it .

Well I finished the sample exam and found it quite hard to get full mark , but I will keep on trying ~
