    I did my CBE exam a couple of days ago. I failed after I had done my BP revision kit from start to finish several times. I had kaplan revision kit all recent books up to August 2017. I did open tuition tests loads of them and I was confident of my understanding. Bare in mind I had finished my BP study notes and open tuition notes . I was always getting 90%+.The CBE questions were no way near all these materials just a completely new way of asking questions.
    Is there materials and revision just for the CBE. I feel so gutted.
    Please help which materials should I use. I need to sit for the exam again ASAP before I forget.
    Thank you.

    Lin, it sounds to me (sorry about this!) that you need to be spending even more time on the revision kit / exam kit practicing for interminable hours the mcqs and mtqs from that material

    There is NO substitute for this hour after hour practicing
