May 26, 2014 at 6:00 pm #170996It is impossible to give a precise answer to you because everyone is different, and a lot depends on how much studying you have already done.
Personally I think the best thing to do during the last week is to look again at the past 5 or 6 real exam papers (but not December 2013 because the examiner does not usually repeat topics). Concentrate more on the written parts of the questions. About 50% of the exam will be writing, and the most common reason for people failing is that they do not write much if anything for the written parts.
Read the question and decide what you think the examiner is asking. Then look at the answer and see if you would have answered the right question – too often people write beautiful answers but to a different question. If you misunderstood the question then read it again and learn from your mistake.
Read the examiners answer (but bear in mind that she always writes more then she expects in the exam) and learn from it. It is better to learn from the examiners answers than from a text book. Look at the marking scheme at the end of the answers and see which points were being wanted to get the marks.Good luck this time – I hope you make it OK.
