Exam tips
There are several different types of examinations at the University, but the most common ones are written examinations in an examination hall and take-home examinations. Take a look at our tips on examination stress, how to prepare yourself, and things to think about when doing a take-home exam.
Study for exams correctly
When it comes to studying for written exams, we recommend that you make a plan for your studies at the beginning of the course. This means that you will have a reasonable workload throughout the course and will be able to be well prepared when the exam comes.
How to counteract exam stress
If you are easily stressed before an exam, it can be a good idea to have thought about and practice a breathing exercise well in advance that you can use at the time of the exam. For tips and advice, you can find out more on the national website studenthälsa.se.

You can also contact the Student Healthcare Centre to get advice or book an individual conversation with a counsellor.
Things to think about before a take-home exam
To pass a take-home exam, you must be well-read on the subject in general. Create a good study technique for the entire course early on. This will make it easier to complete the take-home exam at the end of the course. Planning is everything.
During the exam period, you usually have the opportunity to check the literature in the meantime, but if you do not have the basic knowledge, it will be difficult and take a long time.
Think a little extra about finding out what the rules are when it comes to plagiarism and collaborating with others. There may be different rules for different exams and it is important that you follow the rules so that you do not risk cheating.
