In this episode I speak with Prof. Laurie Zimet, Director of Academic Support at UC Hastings, who shares with us the mindset of professors when they are  grading exams, as well as some key exam tips.  Prof. Zimet explains that professors are grading on the ability to analyze, rather than a mastery of memorization and gives key tips, including preparing yourself for distractions that will occur when you are in the exam room by taking one practice exam in a crowded cafe -- what I call a Tiger Woods approach to taking exams!
