In the lead-up to final exams, students have a wide variety of study materials at their disposal. Revision quizzes, practice exams, LLM tutors, but what study habits are they actually exhibiting, and how does this impact their final outcome in the course? This study aims to determine this by analysing real student data from an introductory Python course, to better inform instructors in how to provide useful study resources to their students, to increase the equity of programming assessment.
