areas would you like to see improved? It can cover anything from
your dealings with the accommodation office to the facilities in

Lent Term
It is quite normal to
find Lent term stressful as course material becomes more difficult and exams
loom. Below are a few services and sources of advice that you may find
useful. Don't forget that there is also a sub-warden on each floor at
Bankside - we're all LSE students and have experience of LSE Exams. One of
us is also on duty every night and over the weekend for urgent matters.
Also, if you have
any concerns about other students please let us know (in confidence) and
we'll do our very best to help.
The
teaching and Learning
Centre Seminars are a great source of advice, in particular the
following courses may be worth considering More details, including specific
postgraduate courses are available on the
Teaching and Learning centre
website.
SS113: Exams II: Last Minute Preparation - Wednesday 2nd March
SS116: Exams III: Using Past Exam Papers - Wednesday 9th March
SS115: Quantitative Exam
Preparation - Wednesday 16th March
SS133: Exams: Revise and De-stress - Wednesday 4th May
If you have not yet done so, it
is vital that you register with a GP as soon as possible. This will
both save you time and hassle if you fall ill and makes life much easier if
you require mitigation because of illness during your exams.
