    In the paper based exam, all the questions are MCQ’s – you just choose the correct one out of the 4 choices of answer.
    It is only in the CBE’s that you also have questions that are number entry questions.

    Hi John
    Do they no longer do the written paper based for FFA, is it all MCQ the paper based?
    As I am failing this exam, and thought it would be better to do the paper based instead of the computer based.
    Used to be 10 multiple choice then the rest written Questions.?
    I keep getting 46, 49 and 45 % for this Exam and am realy ready to give up, not sure what to do.
    Have a problem with a clock ticking and trying to keep carm.
    Any advise, thanks
