so far this year i have noticed that just like the learning styles of students differ, so do the test taking abilities. beyond the matter of studying, it never fails that certain students will excel with one type of test, ie: written, multiple choice and then get really nervous and struggle through the practical portion of the exam. we try to encourage good study habits,ask questions, seek out extra help, tutoring, office hours, practice at home etc., in order to be best prepared for the exam.
