Dear Sir
In my 1st sitting in March ’17 failed P7 with 46 marks. This time failed with 27. Im a full time working mom and would be able to allocate max 12 hrs per week. Now Im wondering whether it would be possible to get through the paper in sept sitting with my available time?
Could you kindly advice me on how to start from now onwards and get going along. FYI, also I’v not completed P2 as yet.
Thanks in advance!Well! Something went drastically wrong in June didn’t it!
It’s not possible that you could have ‘lost’ so much knowledge within the space of 3 months, surely
So is it exam technique? (Probably, is my guess)
Try this for 4 weeks:
– open a revision kit / exam kit from a reputable publisher and read it, from start to finish, question, answer, question, answer, question, answer, question, answ…. and keep doing that, reading the book from start to finish
– when I say “read” that’s exactly what I mean. Don’t try to learn. Don’t try to memorise. Just read
– pay attention to the way in which the specific question requirement is addressed
– notice how many different points are raised in the answers
– reflect upon the professionalism of the answer
– and read too:
examiner’s reports
the last 10 technical articles
my exam technique article on the P7 home page
the exam technique article on the P3 (yes, P3) home page “From a marker’s perspective” – this article repeats the advice from my own article but it may reassure you to know that the advice is not mine alone but is supported by no less a person that a member of the P3 marking team
– but, most of all, read that book over and over again and again until 18 August and then post again for the remainder of the advice on how to tackle P7 and we’ll work on exam technique
OK?
