Peer Learning Exam Practice Workshops

As well as revising the course material, it is also important to prepare for performing under exam conditions. Come along to one of our exam practice workshops for:

  • An opportunity to practice generating a written exam response under timed writing conditions with an invigilator present
  • A chance to receive valuable feedback and helpful suggestions from trained members of the SLD Peer Learning team

Just bring along pen and paper and a previous exam to work on.
