    Can you tell me what year the current examiner started setting the exam papers? How far back should I go? and are there any, in particular that you feel are broad and challenging and definitely worth looking at?

    Kind regards,

    Denise

    As far as I remember the current examiner has been there since December 2007. The examiner has a very steady, fair approach.

    I have not particular recommendations for award-winning questions, so perhaps you should start from December 2014 and work back – say to December 2010. I would look at the larger questions first as they are more challenging, then go back and look at smaller ones. Remember the format of the exam changed a few sittings ago. Before that there was no OT and Q1 = 35 marks. However the syllabus content hasn’t altered greatly, so even that old large question is still useful to look at..

    Oh I am not looking for any award!! 50% will do just fine! (I failed with 49% in June)
    And apparently its my exam technique is the problem! I just wanted to make sure I used my time correctly! Thank you 🙂

    49% is a killer!

    I am trying very hard to keep track of all the relevant case (studies) I need to learn – where is a complete list of this and the subject area it covers? Thanks

    You posted that query elsewhere. Once is enough.
