Strategies–for review and exam-writing
Review: individually or with others, design and respond to questions you imagine might appear on the exam.
Exam-writing: read the whole exam, before you write anything; decide in what order you want to answer questions; pace yourself; in the essay, pay special attention to transitions between sections; before submitting your exam sections, proofread.
