Hi all,
Just wanted to see if anyone had any opinions and advice when adjusting to the new changes that came in Sept 2016 – I’m preparing a couple of exams in June. Particularly:
– I have 2015 Kaplan exam kits; I’m assuming something more up to date would be more suitable? Something with more OBT questions to reflect the new 60/40 format.
– To students who’ve sat both the CBE and the paper format, which format is recommended? I see the CBE exam is 5 mins longer with 10 seeder questions (Whatever that means..)
– do you still get marks for workings in section c when you’re on CBE?Thanks
Just an FYI you do not get marks for the seeded questions – they basically just ask you 5 extra questions to waste your time as they do not count towards your final mark. Also it is not known which are the seeded questions.
They try and justify it by saying its for “quality purposes” but I don’t believe this, just another reason to fail people and keep the pass rates low.
I would advice doing the paper based exam.
Best of luck!
