    Hi Sir,

    I did practise several questions of different topics, but still I’m not perfect on any one.

    Less than 2 weeks before exam, what do you recommend?

    Knowing that I can only practice 1 question per day (doing the full question + analysing answers):
    -Should I do 1 question of different topic each day to “touch” everything (Investment appraisal, proj management, cultural web, e-business…)
    or
    -Should I focus more/only on the classic topics like (Pestel, Diamond, 5 forces, etc…) to control them?

    I already practiced at least once all topics, and I’m the kind of person that need to practice to retain it into my head (not just reading).
    For this paper I have been able to start my revision time earlier than my other papers, which is good I thought, but I realize that I forget a bit what I knew better few weeks ago…There are so many models…

    Thanks

    I think you should aim for wide coverage. You probably don’t need to practise SWOT, PESTEL and 5 forces any more as these are, a you say, the classic models and will be well known. You are very unlikely to forget them at this stage.

    However, if there is a question implying the use of the cultural web or methods used to manage change and you don’t know the model you will be lost. These more specialist models frequently appear so i dangerous to ignore them.

    Practise material you don’t know, not material you do know.
