Exam Study Expert: ace your exams with the science of learning

203. Beating a High Stakes Test: Flashcards, Grit and Time (A Student Story)


Listen Later

We're back today for another Student Story: celebrating successfully beating a high-stakes test, and learning all the study techniques that made the difference between pass and fail.

Our guest today is veterinary dermatologist Alissa, who confidently passed her specialist exam after spending some time as my coaching client - she put in the hard work, studied smarter and took home a well-deserved win.

Alissa shares her practical tips on what made the difference to her confidence and studying success:

  • how she learnt to balance a schedule of digital studying with the demands of a hectic family life  
  • how she prioritised effective flashcard technique for an information-heavy exam 
  • mastering holistic, calming exam tactics to make a difference on the day 
  • and the benefits of working with a study coach (me!) to personalise the techniques we discuss here on the podcast to your own needs
