  • Never mix up two questions in one page of the answer booklet,
  • Always start each question by answering it on a fresh page.
  • Do not waste time on questions you are not so sure of,
  • Concentrate and avoid distractions as much as possible,
  • Be confident to ask the lecturer if a given question is not clear enough.

Sample Of Typical Exams Questions And How To Answer Them

1. Draw an annotated diagram:

If you are asked a question like this, it simply means you should draw and label. So when answering a question like this, draw and also label accurately, while labeling, use a ruler to draw straight lines if possible so your labeling will be neat.

2. Highlight:

This question demands you to only list or bullet the necessary points, only explain when the lecturer states thus, less you will waste time explaining what you should have simply listed and have your full mark.
