    Dear Tutor,

    Would you recommend reading all exhibits of question A before answering any of the requirements?

    My intended approach for question A was to read the exhibits applicable to the particular requirement and then answer that particular requirement. However, when reviewing my answers against the sample answers I have noticed that they sometimes refer to other parts, which were mentioned in the other exhibits.

    I am therefore wondering if it is worth the trade-off: offering a more comprehensive answer but then potentially running out of time on other questions? (I am a slow reader and often struggle with time management.)

    Thank you

    Did you mean o post this in the APM forum? Generally there aren’t many exhibits for Section A – typically one or two appendices – which MUST be read, at least to see what’s there, to give you access to all the information your might need.

    Dear Tutor,

    Yes, my post relates to the APM exam. Sorry for the confusion but on the practice platform, section A questions usually contain 4-5 exhibits and then also 1-2 appendices. (One exhibit on the practice platform seem to correspond with one paragraph in the exam kit question / past exam questions.)

    So you recommend reading all paragraphs/exhibits and appendices before starting to write down any answer?

    Thank you

    I think you should read through all exhibits initially to make sure you don’t miss information that might be helpful for a particular question requirement.
