Exams form a key part of many assessments at LSE. Although they can be stressful, the Learning Lab is here to support you to develop skills to see your exams as opportunities to show everything you have learned.
Whether you are looking for support with revision, time management, tackling exam questions, or writing under pressure- we have you covered.
Revision Skills
Revising for exams can be daunting, especially when you have multiple competing deadlines, and what can seem like very limited time.
The Learning Lab has put together a series of resources, designed to help you approach your exam revision in a way which is efficient and effective, to reduce your stress and help you to ace your exams.
- Workshops on note taking, reading effectively, academic insight, and critical thinking
- One-to-one appointments with study advisers, who can offer advice on planning your time effectively, prioritisation, and creating a robust revision plan
- Moodle resources on planning your exam revision, preparing for LSE exams, and keeping calm in the exam period
Qualitative Exams
Writing assessed essays under exam conditions is a specific skill- one which we are here to help you with.
The Learning Lab can offer tips and advice on how to approach your qualitative exams calmly, effectively- and within the time limit.
- Workshops on writing essays in timed conditions, answering exam questions effectively, and understanding what a good exam answer at LSE looks like
- One-to-one appointments with a study adviser to discuss exam techniques for success
Quantitative Exams
We know that quantitative exams can be intimidating, especially if they are new to you.
Whether you are worried about time management, getting enough practice with your problem sets, keeping calm under pressure, understanding the questions, or practising exam technique under realistic conditions, we have you covered.
We can also support you with the more written elements of quantitative exams, including how to read and interpret quantitative information, structure longer answers, and write clearly about quantitative evidence and results.
