    I am practising exam style questions. There are some areas that I am not fully clued up on but I hope to get them sorted out by the 13th.

    This subject is not as easy as it first apeared and based on the past sittings only
    50% of us will pass.

    Come on all you P1 sitters – add some comments to OT about how things are going for you!

    or alternatively, how many people have you heard say that they did loads of work, yet still failed?

    I know they say it is wrong but I’m just trying to learn all the material instead of practicing questions….think i just have enough time to do that. Hoping if I know the material I will be able to apply it. Doing P3 on the 16th too and can’t decide what way to focus my time!

    Hi
    In my opinion, knowing all the material is not good enough as if you’re not practising exam paper, you will not know how to apply those knowledge in the context of exam. Beside, at this level, we are being examine more than just text knowledge.
    I had been practice quite a bit, however still find it hard and struggle when it comes to exam technique
    Good luck
    Haha

    No point panicking, re-do questions, re-read some chapters it starts to make better sense after a period, it is pointless just having a head full of facts but can’t apply it in the exam.
    Come exam day we will not know everything but we will know something enough to pass.
