    Please don’t write in upper case letters – it looks like you’re shouting at me

    Your exam technique is fundamentally flawed (I suggest)

    You cannot possibly have covered the syllabus sufficiently well for you to be expecting to pass and yet only score 30 marks

    You’ve attempted the paper “several (times)” so I can only assume that you have studied and studied again the appropriate material

    So try this:

    – hide your study text in a place that you can forget about

    – open a revision kit / exam kit from a reputable publisher and read it, from start to finish, question, answer, question, answer, question, answer, question, answ…. and keep doing that, reading the book from start to finish

    – when I say “read” that’s exactly what I mean. Don’t try to learn. Don’t try to memorise. Just read

    – pay attention to the way in which the specific question requirement is addressed

    – notice how many different points are raised in the answers

    – reflect upon the professionalism of the answer

    – and read too:

    examiner’s reports
    the last 10 technical articles
    my exam technique article on the P7 home page
    the exam technique article on the P3 (yes, P3) home page “From a marker’s perspective” – this article repeats the advice from my own article but it may reassure you to know that the advice is not mine alone but is supported by no less a person that a member of the P3 marking team

    – but, most of all, read that book over and over again and again until 18 August and then post again for the remainder of the advice on how to tackle P7

    OK?
