I’m done with the studying phase of AA and have started with Revision but I still don’t understand some of the topics. I realised this after scoring 0% in case study question 1. What should I do so that I don’t waste time trying to Relearn? Do I go ahead with Revision?
Short answer – go ahead with question practice.
There’s no point trying to relearn when you don’t really know what it is that you haven’t quite grasped. There are many things in AA which, “once the penny drops”, you’ll find easy. AA isn’t to be rote-learnt (because there are so many ways the examiner can “dress up” the same issue).
You need question practice and to learn from every mistake you make. See here my guidance on building up to full exam style and standard question practice https://opentuition.com/topic/exam-preparation-18
So, for example, every OT answer that you get wrong, don’t just skim read the justification and think “ok, I’ll get that right next time” – make some notes and think why you got it wrong. For a point of knowledge, by all means confirm this with your study notes/text, but if think you have the knowledge, but are applying it wrongly, you need to understand why – so if the answer justification isn’t sufficient (though I have tried hard to give clear justifications) then do ASK on this forum.
Make notes from the Q and answer justifications. E.g. if you missed a key word in the prompt. Or a word that you didn’t know its meaning. Yes you may have to revert to a text or something but at least that’s targeted rather than simply re-reading.
