How do you create your own questions to practice for exams?

With use of the knowledge of texts and assessing past papers, I have gained experience myself in creating questions for myself for exams throughout my educational career. I would provide students with the organisational skills to do this. I would answer this kind of question by a student by asking them to assess the themes of the text that they are studying and think about how they would devise questions from key moments of the text, as well as understanding the themes. This way students can grasp thematic aspects of their texts and also prepare practically for the final exam.
