Therefore adequately reviewing for the exam is essential. Students should take advantage of all available resources when studying for such a comprehensive exam. For instance, there are a number of online resources available including practice tests, study guides, videos, etc. Depending on how you best retain information you should choose the methods that work best for you and take full advantage of them.
