There\u2019s no denying that exam periods can be stressful, but with proper time management and preparation, you can help yourself get through it \u2013 and maybe even enjoy it. So, for an extensive guide on Canada study exam tips, keep reading!<\/span><\/h2><\/div><\/div>

It can be easy to forget why you\u2019re\u00a0studying\u00a0in the first place: the degree at the end is only part of the journey. Post-secondary education should be a chance for you to really dig into a subject you\u2019re passionate about. Preparing well for exam periods is key to being able to stay excited about your courses and your work.<\/p>

Canadian universities and colleges assess academic success through a wide variety of methods. You may have classes where your grade rides entirely on a multiple-choice exam<\/strong>, or you may have several\u00a0essays\u00a0<\/strong>to write throughout the semester. Some courses base a percentage of the grade on attendance and participation. Assignments can include group projects, journals, quizzes, presentations, online assignments, take-home exams, field work, lab work, and much more.<\/p>

Choosing the right courses<\/h4>

You may not want to think about the far-off threat of exams in the first exciting days of the semester, but it\u2019s important to consider how your work is assessed when you\u2019re choosing your courses. You may have a selection of courses to choose from, and course assignments may influence your choice. For example, if you know you have a good short-term memory and perform well under pressure, you may not mind the course with multiple-choice tests. If you know you hate the pressure of exams and you excel in writing and research, you may want to go for the course with an\u00a0essay\u00a0submission. If the idea of public speaking makes you want to crawl under a rock, maybe avoid the class that requires an oral presentation.<\/p>

Choosing a course based on the assessment criteria is completely acceptable, if it fits with your Canada study program and your goals. You want to do well in your courses and get good grades \u2013 and you also want to stay healthy and avoid stress and anxiety. If you\u2019re confident in your work and you feel comfortable with the assessment methods of the course, you may enjoy the course material more. Being passionate about your subject can be the best way to remain motivated through assignments and exams.<\/p>

If your Canada\u00a0study\u00a0program requires you to take a course and you know you will have trouble with the assessment methods, talk to your professor or lecturer about it as soon as you can. They want their students to do well and enjoy the course, and they may be able to offer advice or alternative testing methods. Learning support services at your university or college may also be able to help, for example by arranging for extensions for deadlines, or for more time during exams, if you have different learning abilities or struggle with standard testing methods. If you\u2019re starting to struggle, don\u2019t be afraid to reach out and ask for help.<\/p>

During the semester<\/h4>

Good habits for exam success begin during the semester. Absorbing material over time is often more effective than trying to cram last-minute before a test, so if you stay on top of your readings and assignments, you\u2019ll be much better prepared for your final exams. Take notes in your classes from day one: writing out class material can help it stick in your mind much better than just listening to a lecture, and you\u2019ll probably retain more information than you realise.<\/p>

Everyone has their own best methods for studying effectively, and it\u2019s important to find yours. Study groups can be effective for sharing ideas with others, getting fresh perspectives on course material, and sharing the assigned reading. If you work better alone, find a spot at the library or local coffee shop that you can treat as your personal study zone. Having a dedicated space for studying can help your mind stay focused, and can help you switch off and relax when you leave \u2013 this is why people recommend you don\u2019t study in bed, however tempting it may be during the Canadian winter.<\/p>

Play around with Canada study aids to find a tool that works for you. There are plenty of websites and apps out there to help you create and share flashcards, quizzes, and more.<\/p>

Professors, lecturers, and teaching assistants are great resources: use them. Most professors and lecturers will have \u201coffice hours\u201d: set times during the week when they are available to students. Use this time to ask any questions you may have about the material, or concerns you have about the exams or assessments. Your course leaders want you to do well, and they\u2019ll likely be able to help you with the material. Large classes with many students often also have Teaching Assistants (TAs) assigned to them. TAs are usually students too (either senior undergraduate students, or post-graduates) so they know what you\u2019re going through, and they know the class material better than anyone, so don\u2019t hesitate to ask them questions too.<\/p>

Exam period<\/h4>

Exam periods are usually scheduled in the middle of the semester (\u201cmidterms\u201d in October and February), and after the end of classes (\u201cfinals\u201d in December and April). Canada study schedules are generally quite consistent across universities in Canada but make sure to keep a close eye on yours.<\/p>

All undergraduate exams may be scheduled by the university across the same period, so depending on your courses you may find you have all your exams together, or they may be spread out across one or two weeks. The exam schedule should be issued around the middle of the semester (universities in particular often try to publish the schedule early, to help their international students and others who need to travel during the holidays).<\/p>

You may be in a class that doesn\u2019t have an exam at the end \u2013 you may instead be asked to write a \u201cterm paper\u201d: a longer-form essay based on the class material. Another common assessment method is the \u201ctake-home exam\u201d: closer to a classic exam in format (for example, multiple-choice questions, short essays, or a mixture of the two), but which you can do at home in a set time frame.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
