Welcome

Going to university is one of the most rewarding and formative periods in life. New places to explore, experiences to live, people to meet and knowledge to acquire.

However, third-level education is a big step up from secondary school. In fact, many students find it difficult to cope with this change and obtain the results they were used to in secondary school.

At ExamTime, we are determined to help you during this stage in your life so we have prepared a guide for university students with everything you need to succeed at University. In this guide you will find a wide range of information: practical tips, learning techniques, study tools and resources to maximise your productivity.

Guide for University Students

Who is this aimed at?

This guide is aimed at all university students that speak English regardless of the course they are studying.

You may be asking yourself how this guide can be useful to both a first year law student and a final year medical student for example. Well, we can easily answer that question! In this guide, we do not focus on specific issues but on the learning process and tasks that you may face in university and these are common to all university students.

The resources listed in this guide are just an example of what you can do with our study tools. Our goal here is not to provide you with all the study material you need but to encourage you to create some yourself. This is a great way to enhance your knowledge, productivity and achieve your academic goals.
