You should know all the theory by now, so you must concentrate on question practice. >Make sure you address the requirememts accurately >Use information in the question to apply models. If you find you are describing a model, you are almost certainly not answering the question. >Write enough: aim for 1.25 pages per 10 marks. Also, read the technical articles.

The examiner could use either approach. Don't spend too long on time series.
