Exam Technique P4 Sept 2017

((deleted)8y ago
Hi i wanted your opinion on attempting section B first since the examiner has stressed a lot on choosing carefully section B questions. The way i look at it is that i get the less complex scenarios (qs) out of the way in time, by default i would be managing my time for qs 1 and focusing on areas where i could get easy marks in qs 1. Your thoughts??

I don't think that there is a best approach in terms of whether to start on Section B or Section A. Whichever you do first, the most important things is to allocate your time (so, for example, if you do start on Question 1, then stop after 1.5 hours and move on to the Section B questions). You probably won't have finished the question but it is more important to have attempted all the questions and got more than 50% of the marks on each, than to finish some questions but as a result leave other unanswered. If you haven't finished a question in the time, then leave some blank pages so that you can come back later and do more if you find you do have time later.
