Hello
Congrats on completing your exams.
Please can you share your excel notes with me, I will be taking the AFM paper in December.
Thank you.
Hello
I also failed FR twice, before finally having a 62% this time, i.e. my third attempt. I also took Tx, first attempt and passed. These are few tips, I think helped me.
1. I changed my approach in the exam hall. So previously, I spend so much time doing the MCQ, that most times when I get to part C, I barely have an hour left. So, at that point I am struggling to even understand the question, because I am under pressure and all that.
This time, I went as fast as I could through the MCQ, because I remembered the TX lecturer drumming in how the MCQ is a pass or fail, unlike part C where you always get marks for your attempts.
2. For study, I did not bother listening to the OT videos again, being that I had done that in my first two attempts and also made very good notes, so I used the extra time to study my past questions almost three times, cause I did not finish the whole thing on the third round.
3. During my study, I came to terms that my weak point was consolidation but I understood other areas. I focused a lot of energy on those other areas, especially interpretation of FS, since it is usually the second part C question, until I was extremely comfortable with it, then proceeded to continue learning consolidation.
Honestly, I will say tip 1 is very important. In both exams I had almost an hour left after I had attempted all questions, that was enough time to go through the whole exam again and be satisfied that I had given it my all… on getting to part C, I had over 2 hours, so I had more than enough time to calm down and even understand the ask, before attempting to answer.
I hope this helps, wishing you all the best in your next attempt.
