    Hi guys and good luck in your exams,

    So I done most questions on kaplan and bpp, my problem is I write too much, i got pages and pages of question and notes on P2 and P3 but i do the questions by writing the answers out from the books, this technique has helped me so far in my exams but i got this last few days panic now.

    is there an effective way you guys can recommend between now and the exam?

    cheers guys.

    i was hoping that you had posted a 4 day effective revision plan!!!. Do not worry. what you have done so far is just great. Just practice the past exam papers. check yrself and am positive you will score well. On my side I have only read one chapter. no classes taken!!. am trying a one week crash course. but still at work till Friday!! so you see you don’t have anything to worry about. but if anyone gives you tips let me know the secret!!!!

    I would say the most effective plan is to re-do the questions you have done already but this time without checking answers. You will notice the improvement and also identify silly mistakes you still make.

    That is what i am doing now, it is very hard to just study without looking but once you’ve done the question before then its easier.

    sodiqlawal,

    thanks for your advice, i used to do that a lot but for some reason, this time i started so early, i done most questions but i am worried that by doing these questions, there may be areas im missing out on.

    I got P3 on Monday and P2 on Tuesday and today spent 5 hours doing 3 questions for P3, do you write the full answer or a plan for it?

    Good luck mate.

    ugras,

    with the current issue topics questions, i tend to write the whole answer as i feel it is good practice for the exam.

    for the mixed questions (q2 or 3), it really depends on if i feel i can answer it well. I think a detailed answer plan is fine as a lot of the mixed question we are practising will not even come up especially the ones focusing on just one topic.

    But it is very useful to do a few full ones to get used exam style
