@cmtanyi I don’t know if it’s a secret but I think what helped me a lot was managing my time during the exam. I went in keeping in mind the allocated time for each section and stuck to it. If there were any questions I couldn’t answer straight away or where my calculations didn’t match the options, I flagged them and moved on. There were a few like that, maybe 5-6? In the end, I only had enough time to read them again and pick a random answer for most.
As for preparation, I spent 5-6 weeks going through the lectures on OT. And then another month, going over them again and skimming over my Kaplan study text for the stuff covered in OT or searching for additional examples/resources on Google for the stuff I didn’t quite get (like sales mix and yield variance). I also did Section A&B questions in the exam kit and for section C, did a mix of about 10 to get an idea and then just read the answers to a few more.
I had a feeling I may pass but I didn’t expect that score to be honest. I’ve done AAT before and found this exam to be definitely way tougher and the time just about enough. So, again, the time management helped me a lot, I think, because there is a chance some of the questions I couldn’t answer were ‘for research purposes’.
Oops, that’s a lot of words but I hope it helps a little!
