    Sorry to hear about your difficulties.

    I assume you know the technical content of the paper so the problem must lie in your approach to questions and the way you present your answers.

    Remember, there are no marks in this exam for explaining theories. It’s all about addressing the question requirements and producing a letter, report of PowerPoint slides that ‘move the process forward’ ie addressing the problem and, usually, providing advice or conclusions.

    How much do you write? I would suggest in your 4 hour exam you should be producing at least 16 and possibly 20 pages.

    Ideally you should try to find a course or service which provides you with lots of question practice and feedback on your answers so that you can see where you might be going wrong. I regret that we do not offer such a service. I don’t know where you live, but there might be a study provider within reach where you could attend some sort of question-based revision course. Alternatively you might be able to find a service using Google, or even show your answers to a colleague or fellow-student who will provide honest and constructive feedback.
