As time goes by and there is not much time left for SBL exam, I am gradually getting anxious. How should I effectively using exam kit and past papers? Please review my plan below and give suggestions
1. answer exam kit questions according syllabus areas, review the answers and review the theories
2. sit past papers and specimen papers in the real exam time and review the answer later
However, I do have some doubts about my plan,
As I am not the markers, how should I know if my answer will gain good marks?
How many times I need to attend past papers and specimen papers? would once be enough?
Any suggestion about the revision period?
Many thanks

July 26, 2019 at 10:08 pm #524993Your plan sounds good.
Personally, I wouldn’t try a question more than once. That will allow you time to properly compare your answers to the model answers. Look for major differences as a way of judging your own.
The exam covers a wide range of syllabus areas. You might find P12 of the syllabus a useful framework:
? Analyse the external environment, the organisation model and the internal governance structures, culture and capabilities of the organisation.
? Assess the position and evaluate the performance of the organisation
? Consider the future outlook for the organisation ? Identify strategic problems and opportunities
? Manage risks and identify appropriate controls
? Makes trategic choices
? Evaluate strategic choices using forecasting or decision-making techniques
? Decide on feasible and sustainable solutions using appropriate technologies
? Implement change and innovate responsiblyJuly 26, 2019 at 10:08 pm #524994Your plan sounds good.
