Understanding the format and structure of exam questions is crucial, along with developing problem-solving skills. By following the guide below, you may be surprised how much your score can improve.

Scoring well on exams is a three-part process. The first part is obvious, learn your subject, and remember a million details, but how do you go about that exactly?
