    Hi Sir

    I had 48 for F8 at Dec 2015 and I want to retake it for June 2016.
    What are your advices:
    I guess I don’t have to go throught the whole lectures again (?),
    -but do I start straight with the Kit Revision book?
    -or should I read the whole notes first?…

    What do you think is the best?

    Thanks for all your work!

    I would do questions. Study the model answer, then, no matter how you did, read the relevant part of the notes again to reinforce things.

    Hi

    I am in a similar situation. I got 46% in March and plan to resit in June.
    The revision kit is so long, is there a way to break down revision or is there a way to pick out the more important questions?

    Thanks

    I Suggest you start with questions form the most recent exam available and work back through time. That will keep you in line with the examiner’s current style of question.

    There is nothing for March so far other than the examiner’s report right? I read this at the weekend but don’t remember all of the questions and definitely cannot remember what I put as answers so I can’t seem to learn from my mistakes. I came out of the exam thinking I had passed so this worrying.

    Thanks for your advice and I will do this. I’m quite disappointed that we don’t get all of the papers anymore. It isn’t as if I haven’t been through these papers before but it would be far better to have the whole of the September and December 2015 papers than a few questions merged together.

    I don’t mean to rant on I know that you can’t do anything about it.

    We also think it’s poor that you do not see all questions from past papers.
