    is skills module harder?
    or is it just the same
    ie;
    you need to study the same hours
    the topic is not exponentially more difficult to pass
    it’s just different course work you have to study.not harder

    or is it a whole other level of difficulty?

    the skills module is definitely harder than the knowledge module
    i think u need to give more time to it as compared to the previous exams……….i made the mistake of studying for it just like i did for the skills module n im scared to death right now……..

    I agree, I find the skill level harder than the knowledge level.

    This is partly because there is no multiple choice, which I find act as reminders, whereas you have to remember more for the skills level.

    For me, there is also the psychological aspect. If I fail the knowledge module I can go back and resit it in a relatively short period of time. If I fail the skills module I’d have to wait a further 6 months to retake it, and this might also mean I’d need to buy new text books if it’s in the new year.
