I have got 2 questions:
Q1: can you guide us upon out of questions you have solved from 2003-2011 in revision section which question relates to which topic so that i can know in advance which revision lecture to listen to?
Q2: can you guide me upon how to approach solving questions , wordy and numerical both ?
because I make so many mistakes and get so bogged down as it takes more time and effort and usually it takes me 3 to 4 hours to solve a single question where as in papers time allocated should be 35 minutes per question and that is why I hardly ever could complete my paper.
and
can you provide some framework or structure for writing wordy or narrative questions at f5 paper level , additionally?The questions in the revision section relate to the revision notes that are on the website. You can see from the examples what the topics are.
In addition there are some lectures going through the questions in the real exam, but the exam is labelled and so you can see which exam it is.To approach questions – for the calculation parts it is important that you do show your working and that it is clear what you are trying to do. Most of the marks are for proving that you know what you are doing – not for getting the right answer. Even if you make a mistake, you will get most of the marks if it is clear that you are trying to do it the right way.
For the written parts of questions, you should aim to make one point for every mark. (This is not a fixed rule however – if the question asks for three points then obviously they want three points however many marks there may be)
You do not have to make long points. What the examiner is doing is trying to check that you really understand what you are doing, and that you are not just simply learning rules.
You must make sure that you understand each topic – just learning rules will not pass you the exam.
Time is a problem for everyone. Do not expect to finish every part of every question in 3 hours. The pass mark is only 50%.
More important is that you do something (not finish – just something) for every part of every question.Well thanks a million , I need to know the structure that we need to use for wordy parts of question. For example at paper F4 level I followed a structure to answer scenario based wordy questions, which is as follows:
Introduction – just write your assessment or overview of question’s issue , do not disscuss law.
Rule of law – state point of law.
Apply rule of law – apply law to the question at hand’s issue.
Conclusion.
Can you guide me to one such formula for f5 wordy questions. Kindly respond as early as possible.There is no structure or formula to follow.
If you look at past exam questions, you will see the sort of things that they ask (such as: what are the advantages, what are the disadvantages etc..)
They do not require essay type answers with introduction and conclusion – they require a list of relevant points.
Again, if you look at the examiners answers to that sort of question you will see what answers they are expecting.
