Tomorrow is our first exam. This is my first ever History of Art exam and the first exam I have taken in 2 years so I can safely say this is a fairly nerve-wracking experience. To help with this our tutor has given us a clear layout of the exam and we have gone through practice questions as a class which helped immensely. The greatest struggle I have had would be a cross between the French language and remembering dates. In the exam we are allowed the dates of the pieces to be within 10 years of the correct date so I have managed to group the pieces almost perfectly by their movement. From the revision I have done for this exam I have learnt that I am without a doubt a visual learner.
