Top 10 Exam Preparation Tips for Legon Students

Surviving the Examination Week

The end of semester examination period at the University of Ghana can be stressful. Here are 10 tips to help you prepare effectively and perform your best.

1. Start Early

Don't wait until the "revision week" to start reading. Create a study schedule at least three weeks before exams begin. Consistency is better than last-minute cramming.

2. Use Active Recall

Reading your notes over and over is passive. Test yourself. Close your book and try to write down everything you remember about a topic. This strengthens your memory.

3. Solve Past Questions

Past questions are gold. They help you understand the examiner's focus areas and the format of the questions. Use our platform to download past questions for all your courses.

4. Find Your Ideal Study Spot

Whether it's the Balme Library, your hall's reading room, or a quiet spot on campus, find a place where you can concentrate without distractions.

5. Take Care of Your Health

Sleep is crucial for memory consolidation. Pulling "all-nighters" often does more harm than good. Eat well, stay hydrated, and aim for 7-8 hours of sleep, especially the night before an exam.
