End of Summersemester 2025
Dear fellow students, the lecture period is over and the exam phase is just ahead. We hope you had a great semester and that, in addition to academic knowledge, you were able to gain many valuable experiences and enjoy some wonderful personal moments. We are keeping our fingers crossed for you for the upcoming exams and wish you good luck and success.
Office hours
As usual during the exam period, we will be moving our office hours to the afternoon. From now on, we will be available for you in the student council office on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays from 4:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. In addition to old exams and exam protocols, you will of course have the opportunity to receive advice “from students for students.” If you have urgent problems or questions, please do not hesitate to contact us outside of our official office hours. We also have a contact form on our website and can be reached by email.
Exam preparation
Speaking of exam preparation, here are a few facts about our materials: "past exams” are officially provided to us by the institutes. Most are updated every semester, but some are only updated sporadically, or we have an official collection of exam questions from the institute. In addition, we have a big collection of “(oral) exam protocols”. These were written by former students after their exams as memory records. By the way, there are also records for many written exams for which there are no official past exam papers.
Of course, such a collection depends on being updated regularly. So, after your exam, please take some time to write a short protocol of your exam. This is very easy to do, especially if you sit down with 2-3 fellow students or briefly review the lecture slides. You can find a corresponding Word template here.
On our website, we have an overview of all past exams and exam protocols available to us, as well as their current status.
O-Phase
Although we in the student council also have to take exams ourselves, we are already busy preparing for the next O-Phase in October. We would like to invite you to support us as tutors at this major event. Without your active help, we would never be able to carry out the O-Phase on this scale. This year, the O-Phase will take place from October 13 to October 26. Here is a link to the tutor registration form. Help us giving the new fellow students a good start at KIT and ensure they have two great weeks here. And don't worry, there will be plenty of fun for you and us too ;-)
Best regards,
Your MACH/CIW student council
