    There is an answer but I don’t follow it!

    Why do we assume an invoice value of £500? Is this irrelevant information or is it used in the calculation?

    Thanks for the advice, I have my 3rd re-sit this week so hopefully I can get that pass this time! Your exam strategy makes sense so I’m going to give it a go

    Thanks for the reply. I get what you are saying about being able to apply the knowledge in an exam scenario but it just felt like the questions were like nothing I’ve faced before.

    I ‘only’ failed by 7 marks so I’m close. I’ve been consistently getting a raw score of 60-70% in the mocks and aptitude tests which is the main reason why I feel so demoralised right now.

    My exam approach is to start with the first question and go through in order just doing the ones I know are 100% correct, then I work back through the unanswered questions and try to figure them out. I’m very time conscious but once you get stuck on something you think you can do its easy for 5-6 minutes to fly by. I will keep going, and I know I will pass at some point, but it’s extra pressure for me of being self funded and at £90 an exam, I will have already spent £270 when I rebook!
