Guidance needed, especially for question 1 which I intend to attempt first.
Should I aim to read the scenario entirely within the first 15 minutes?
Should I aim to read it twice?
For an exam like AFM with several parts to question 1, I avoid using up time in the exam to do detailed planning for each sub-part of a question.
Your guidance is highly regarded.
For Paper AFM I personally would not spend too much time reading and planning.
I would have a fairly quick read through the exhibits without spending much time worrying about the detail. Then I would look at the requirements and then go back to the exhibits. The paper AFM examiner is very good at presenting the information in sections such that only parts of the information are relevant to each of the various requirements. For exam requirement then you can spend more time studying the relevant information and deciding what to do with it.
One beauty of the CBE exams is that for written parts your plan can actually be part of the answer – you can type out headings as you think of them and then go back and explain each in more detail.
It is difficult really to give any more advice. If you go to the link for ‘Revision Kit Live’ from the main Paper AFM page on our website you will find some lectures working through a few question 1’s from past exams. I do explain the approach that I would use, and although these were paper based exam questions, the approach is still valid.
