how to utiltise the 15mins reading time of F5 exam?
Sir, if its possible do upload a video on it.
November 1, 2012 at 5:05 pm #106251I do not have time at the moment to upload a video (but it is a good idea and I will do in future).
I would use the reading time in the following ways:
Read the requirements of each question (not all the wording above) and decide what the main topics are. Then you can decide what order to attempt the questions – it makes sense to do those you are happy with first!
Also, look for requirements that ask for more than one thing (for example, calculate something and explain something) and underline the different requirements. Very often in the stress of an exam, people answer the first bit (and so, for example, do the calculation) but then do not notice the second bit (comment or explain something). If you have underlined the different parts then you are less likely to miss them when you are actually writing your answers.
When you have done the above, if you still have time, then start doing bits of workings or planning of written answers, on the question paper. You are allowed to write on the question paper during the 15 minutes (but not in the answer booklet).
