Olex's Tip of the Day
Make use of all the time available in assessments.Â
Our expert examiners have told us that many students could pick up more marks by planning their time in assessments and making time to read through their answers at the end of a test. This helps students to spot any errors and can help boost their overall grade.
1. Try the question
