      Knowledge of one's own personality and its effect on others is one of the most important requirements for managers.

      The experiences in past semesters have shown time and again that it is often insufficient to "only" prepare carefully for exams.

      The tension in the actual examination situation and the threat of forced de-registration if the candidate fails can have an effect on the candidate's performance that ranges from being massively inhibitory to totally blocking, on the performance of the candidate. Therefore, we support you in preparation for the second or final test with
      • general information
      •  learning preparation
      • strategies and psychological tips
      Please do not hesitate to come to this helpful information event: Since a high number of  students are usually affected by a final attempt, it is also a relief to see that you are not the only one! Claudia Huberti
