Hey im in PPES and i'm seriously confused bout exams, haven't got good tutors.:(
for politics/sociology/philosophy, if I have a 3 hour exam with 4 qs to answer, how many words/pages do i write for each q? is it as rushed as the LC like?
Also, i'm trying to start studying, should I do the whole of every course, or narrow it down to what comes up regularly with a few backups as well?
appreciate the help!!!:D

You can't be expected to know everything. Part of exam preparation is knowing how to be selective in your study.

In general, the same questions reappear in most exam papers, certainly in arts courses. Normally it's not in the lecturer's interest to change things - it usually just leads to complaining by students.
