Hi,
Could you please suggest tips for revising in last two days?
When I do questions from revision kit now, I know what I am doing because I have completed all the questions from the Kit. So my revision is biased I feel as I know the answers already.Then I think of reading the Study text, but it is apporx. 500 pages!
Please suggest… π
Thanks

I would have a look through the last 4 real exams again (not so much the June 2013 exam – the 4 before that – she is unlikely to ask again what was asked in June).
If you have already worked them then there is no real point in working them again. But do look at them to get used to her style.In particular look again at the written parts. Even if you have already done the questions then look again for a few minutes and decide what you think she is asking for. Then check with the answer whether or not you would have answered the right question.
The biggest reason for people failing is the written parts. People do not write much if anything (usually because they spend too much time on the arithmetic), and when they do write they often give a lovely answer to the wrong question, or just answer one thing when the question actually asked for two things (e.g. comment on ‘this’ and comment on ‘that’ – people comment on ‘this’ and then are so excited that they forget to comment on ‘that’)
Good luck with the exam anyway. π
