Getting prepared for your exam

Know the course

Leave no parts of the syllabus out – you can get a question from anywhere

Plan your study

Make sure you have a detailed study plan and stick to it

Study regularly
60-90 minutes a day for 5 days is much better than one long day

Practice questions
Build your knowledge and practice relevant questions as you go - don’t practice 100’s of
questions; make sure you can answer 20 really well covering the major topics in the time
allowed.

Maximise your CBE practice

It is time to give up the pen and paper if you are taking computer-based exams

Complete a mock exam

Don’t let the first time you attempt the exam be the day of your exam - no 2 subjects are
the same.

Read the examiner report

You need to understand what the examiner wants from you to give you a pass.

Time Management
Never practice a question without a stop watch. Stick to the time available and then
compare to the solution. Figure out where you lost time and avoid that the next time.
