Sorry for the late reply, but I would say exam technique is crucial to this paper.

Knowing how to answer is half the battle, knowledge of the syllabus is the other. But you must be skilled at using the scenario in the question and linking your answers back to it. Also make sure you attempt the full paper and get your timing right.

Allow 1.5 minutes per mark and spend 20 minutes reading Q1 while underlining stuff that relates to the question requirements. Make small notes beside them on the question paper. Do the same for the two section B questions but spend 10 minutes reading them.

Get a stopwatch and do a few mock exams under exam conditions. This will help train your focus and master the skill of getting your timing right.

I think it’s crazy not to do a mock exam before the actual exam.

My tutor put it very well. If it was race you were preparing your self for you would be out on the track practicing your speed everyday. It would be foolish to wait until the day of the race only to find out then that you are too slow and don’t have what it takes yet.
