Passed. 60%. First attempt Grateful to God
Seems like other people passed easily with first attempt and I failed with 38..
Depressed mode on 🙁1st attempt and failed with 42% 🙁
Really thought i would pass with above 50 marks
Any tips on how to study effectively this paper??For what its worth my two cents is to read the material and go at the questions from a very practical management angle.
You ought to be able to get technical terms in from the study material but I think the emphasis is more on how you perceive and answer the questions.
At least that’s what almost all examiner reports say.Examiners reports really helps, would recommend reading it before going through the material then you know the true outline of the subject from an examination point and read your material keeping that in mind.
And don’t feel too down, judging by the general scores posted see more 50’s and 60’s so guessing the paper ain’t a very easy one to score.Passed on my first attempt with 63. I really enjoyed this paper so I wish I could have done it a bit more justice but I am very pleased that I have the papers that will be changing later this year out of the way.
Thanks so much to Mr. Garrett!

Congrats guys
Orlagh, do not despair. I found out today that I’ve passed with 60%, but it was my 4th or 5th attempt (honestly, I’ve lost count!)
Like you, I struggled with the timing in the exam rather than the subject matter, which is really not that difficult. I have 4 pieces of advice that I hope will help you:
1) Practice, practice, practice doing timed questions, especially 45-minute ones. Hopefully you are already doing this, but you cannot practice too much.
2) Write something for every part of every question. For example, if you have spent 35 minutes on part a) of a section B question, move onto part b) unless you really can’t think of anything to write for part b).
3) Try to predict the marking guide, e.g. if the question asks you to apply Porter’s Five Forces to the scenario and the question is worth 20 marks, try to write 3 or 4 points per force. It’s easy to carry on writing too much on one element, because you have more points to make, but there are only so many marks on offer.
4) Do section B first. This is controversial, because it goes against a lot of advice out there, but it worked for me after 3 or 4 failed attempts doing section A first and only completing about 65-75% of the paper each time. The theory is that doing section B first maximises use of the limited resource, i.e. time. It’s important though that you stick to 45 minutes per section B question, so that you leave 1 hour 45 minutes for section A, including reading time, but don’t panic if you overrun slightly. Anyway, don’t take my word for it: have a go at doing section B first in a full timed mock paper as soon as you feel up to it and see how you get on.
GOOD LUCK for the March paper! You can do it, I promise!
