What is it?
Exams are one of the ways that you might be assessed during your studies. During an exam you will be required to answer a question or questions, in a set timeframe, under 'exam conditions'. Exams can follow different formats: some allow notes or are open-book, some you are allowed to take the paper away and are given a set time, but often they are completed by memory.
