Examinations and Grades
6.1.1 Preparation
Good study habits, time management, reading to understand and remember, frequent reviews, and relating your studies to your everyday life all go a long way toward preparing you for examinations.
Anxiety can prevent you from doing well in examinations. Many of our students have benefited from coping strategies offered by Athabasca University’s Counselling Services. Athabasca University also produces a brochure "Mastering Exam Anxiety," and provides online resources.
Before you request your examination, discuss your preparedness with your tutor or learning facilitator. If you are having difficulties preparing for your examination, please review Athabasca University’s Counselling Services Mastering Exam Anxiety website or email an AU counsellor.
