REVIEW CONTENT
Review the table of contents for your subjects. Focus your time to complete the reading and answer the Section Questions at the end of each section and don't forget to celebrate when the symbols are marked as 'Done'!
Remember that you can distinguish between core and supplement content which will help you to prepare respectively! Supplement content is indicated by a grey bar to the left.
Make use of our highlight and private note feature - select what you believe to be important parts of a text on which to base your own notes. This will help you for revision purposes to identify the main areas of the text that you need to review.
Writing your own notes is an essential part of processing and understanding information. By putting something into your own words, you’re actively digesting and making sense of that concept, as well as committing it to memory.

REVIEW PRACTICE QUESTIONS AND ASSIGNMENTS
Improve your strength for each topic. You improve the strength by practicing in the practice center - take questions and get the answer right to increase the strength in the strength bar. Focus on the things you studied at the beginning of your first year to ensure you revise the things you haven't studied for a long time!
Work your way through the Test Practice Questions - these are new questions in the format of examination questions. Time yourself when you answer them to see if you are up to speed! The questions come with mark schemes and example answers, which help you understand what is required for full marks.
Test your stress levels with the Strength Battle - you can battle our Kogbot just to get a feeling for how fast you can answer the questions. With a 60 second limit you will learn to understand your stress levels and hopefully also learn how to handle stress so that you don't go blank during exams. Alternatively have fun while learning with a healthy competition against one of your classmates, this way you can compare and discuss your responses while having fun.
Review the past assignments your teacher has sent you. From the table of contents, you can access all the questions your teachers have sent you over the years. Review your old answers to identify questions you seem to have struggled with and revise the reading section for those questions.
We know exam prep is difficult, but putting these tips into practice will allow you to prepare and get ready for the exams. Try your best and hopefully, Kognity will help make it a little easier!
We wish you the best of luck with your exams, and we will keep our fingers crossed. You will do great!
