I passed all my papers within 3 years (1 resit and only exempt from F1).
I have just become an affiliate - here is my advise on how to pass the exams..
1) Practise all past papers
- I learnt a lot more from past papers than I did from revision notes. Don't try and attempt every question under timed condition - you wont have time or the will power!
2) Its all about strategy
- get on the examiners side i.e make sure your answers are laid out clearly. The examiner will be marking 100's of papers so make sure when he/she sees your exam script its laid out nicely.
- you only need 50! So make sure every point you make is worth one/two marks. Focus on areas where you can get easy quick marks.
- IN my P7 paper I left out a whole 10 marks but I still passed with a high 60 result.
3) Treat it like a marathon
- Plan ahead and make sure you cut no corners
- I did no revision 2 days before the exam and did no revision on the exam day. I was relaxed and ready to sit the paper.
4) Read the most recent technical articles
- high chance the subject matter will appear in the exam.
