This exam was beyond doubt the worst I have ever done. So badly communicated and unfairly focused on very niche areas of the syllabus.
I have been revising full time for this exam for two months (I quit my job in March due to a move abroad), and have previously passed all my other exams first time with good marks (averaging mid 70s). I specifically have not looked for another job as I knew P6 would be tricky and wanted to focus all my attention on it. I wish I hadn’t bothered now. The only comfort is that if I found it difficult with my past good marks and full time study, then most other people would have too, and they should see this in the poor marks all round and adjust the mark scheme accordingly. Do they publish the average marks/results does anyone know?
I went into the exam feeling fully prepared, and then struggled to understand the first question with its obscure wording. When I finally did and realised it was POA (technically easy), 20 minutes had gone by. The rest of the questions were just as bad – 8 marks on ECA – I didn’t even know what this was in the exam, and had to look it up when I got back. It was half a page in the 1100 page textbook (0.05% of the syllabus for 8 marks??)
I’ve just left a very angry feedback form for p6 (like fs28 I had to wait a few days to calm down!) and would encourage everyone else feeling this way to as well. The deadline is today and I think their servers are playing up with the volume of traffic, so don’t leave it to the last minute or your experience won’t be recorded.
