Preparatory Resit Examination Programme

PREP is a two-week intensive revision programme for students who have resits in August. The course will take up about 20% of your time; the rest is for your revision.

This course is offered in the two weeks immediately prior to the August resit examination diet. It is open to any student who has failed an examination in any of the earlier examination diets of the current academic year.

• fundamental factors which have contributed to the unsuccessful result, because, if these are not tackled, such factors may continue to lead to poor results;
• to provide input on exam revision strategies and exam tactics on the day; and and, where available, specialist help with coursework problems;
• to support students’ learning by providing an exam-friendly, positive ethos that builds confidence about exam taking.

During PREP you will:

• Receive advice on revision methods and learn new techniques that promote 'active revision'.
• Use the University’s virtual learning environment to access resources and discuss issues with tutors and other students.
• Work closely with other students in a similar situation, exchanging ideas and collaborating in learning.
• Work within your own carefully planned revision timetable.
• Learn how to apply the best exam 'tactics'.
• Sit mock exams.
• Immerse yourself in a positive learning experience.

You will receive a copy of the PREP leaflet and application form when you receive the hard copy of your results from the Examinations Office when the exam results are released in June. Please use it to register. Alternatively, the application form can be downloaded (below).

We cannot guarantee that you will pass the resits, but we can help you to tackle them positively and with a sense of feeling prepared for them.

There is a modest fee for this course.

Please register by 16th July 2008. Places are allocated on a first come first served basis.
