Exam Revision Service

A seen exam is when you are given the question in advance. The exam is under a timed condition, and you must produce a full, essay-style answer to the question. Typically, the student can’t bring additional material into the exam, and the answer itself doesn’t require references (though it may require you to discuss theorists and their ideas more generally).

Our seen exam service will provide you with a fully-written exam answer which takes into account how long you have to write it. It will include everything that you need to prepare for your exam and will give you a structure for how to best answer the question. Check out some of our seen exam examples!

Traditional exams ask you to recall key information about your module without knowing specifically what you’ll be asked in advance; you are therefore expected to produce a coherent response in a certain space of time. In order to do that, you need a very good grip on the material. The best way to revise for these types of exams is through creating exam notes covering the module’s core topics, making sure these notes are clear and concise.

Our exam notes will help you to understand a topic you may find tough. Our writers will follow whatever requirements you express regarding how you would like your notes to be delivered (e.g. in bullet points, brief sentences, short summaries, or whatever you find works best for you) and will make use of your key sources, which you can see in our examples page. We’ll give you as much information as you need for your time limit so that you won’t be left short with too little information or overburdened by too much.

Sometimes tutors will give you past exam papers to give you an idea of what upcoming exam questions will be like. Past exam papers can help you understand how to write a detailed and engaging exam answer on a similar topic. You can provide as much information as you like when you are ordering, and we’ll match you to a truly experienced writer who can whittle it down for you so that you can see how to ace your exam! If you’ve been given previous exam papers or you have an open-book exam coming up, we can help you to develop a fully written model answer – check out our samples now.

Firstly, learn the key terms and definitions we’ve given you. Knowing and – more importantly – showing you understand key terminology can be an easy way to get marks, and they are often very short and simple to remember. Test yourself on these by having a list of definitions to learn.

Use our exam revision to create a structure for what you’re going to write and make notes for things to talk about. Practice writing your own answer under mock exam conditions: we recommend timing yourself in a quiet room, ideally at a desk, in a place where you won’t be interrupted. It’s important to ensure you are not simply re-writing your notes over and over: instead, test yourself to see what you’ve learned from your revision. Making flashcards for yourself or getting someone else to ask you quick-fire questions can be really useful ways to do this!

Eventually, exam day will come around. When the exam starts, take a few deep breaths before turning over your paper to help you keep calm. It’s a great idea to spend at least five or ten minutes writing a plan for how you’re going to answer the question you have been set; this is something that you can plan before you even enter the exam hall if you have a seen exam!

Lastly, don’t panic and plan something fun to do after your exam – you deserve it!
