What is the purpose of an exam review session?

The purpose of an exam review session is primarily to summarize key concepts and ensure that students grasp the material that will be assessed. During this session, instructors typically highlight important topics, clarify any misunderstandings, and provide insights on how to effectively prepare for the exam. This focused approach helps students consolidate their knowledge and enhances their readiness for the upcoming assessment, fostering a deeper understanding of the material.

In contrast, assessing final grades, introducing new material, and distributing homework do not align with the specific intent of an exam review session. Grades are evaluated after assessments are completed, new material is generally introduced in regular class sessions, and homework is typically assigned as part of ongoing coursework, rather than during a review intended to focus solely on previously covered concepts.
