    Very sorry to all who missed a pass marginally (45-49%)

    It is evident you know the content well enough or so and therefore an improvement in exam technique will finally land you a pass.

    Learn the way the examiner sets the question scenarios and match with answer structure. You will see a common pattern.

    Then practice under exam condition. While going through these, ensure you limit your answers to a PERT(Point, Explain, Relate and Time) framework. To me I would first mention a point straight away to make it easy for markers to do their job.

    Always determine how much you have to write for each part by calculating how many points you have to write. For example, for a 10 marks question I would divide by 2 to get 5 points and an extra 1 point depending on the requirement(s). If you are asked to identify and discuss, then you know there are points for BOTH requirements and so your answer must address both.

    I know this works because i failed twice before (41% and 47%) until I worked through the above, and through it religiously. I finally passed now with 54%.

    Read through other advices and you will surely find a prep structure and plan that suits you best.

    The best time to retake it is this December! So GOODLUCK.

    Thank ALMIGHTY I finally passed.

    What a stumbling block it has been! 7 failed attempts (Yeah I mean SEVEN)!

    I promised GOD I will never give up on it regardless of the price and sweat. I read some good how-to-pass points on here (before this sitting) and I must say the trick worked big time! For the last 2 to affiliate, I will start from here and then plan on my way to pass.

    A big thank you to great tutors in here and OpenTuition in general, for helping make our dreams come true.

    For those you have failed once, twice, thrice…remember that there is guy in here who had to circle the wagons 7 times to only pass the 8th time…God Bless You all!
