About me
I'm a computer science student, about to graduate. If everything works out as planned, I am going to do a cs master's program. I'm really into maths and theoretical cs, and therefore, I took any class related to these topics I could.
Question
Although, I'm able to learn the topics of a class very well, I fail in written exams, because I miss out on details that are important. I know what the details are, and why they are needed, but in an exam situation, I'm missing out on these, which leads to the failing the test, or a bad grade. In an oral exam situation I tend to be far better, which kind of strengthens the point of me learning well enough.
For my last exam prep, I tried to write as many proofs as possible, to get some sort of automation to it, but that didn't work out in the test later.
Is there a secret trick I don't know or any other advice that you could give me, to get proof writing in exams right?
