It takes nearly all day for me just to do 2 long questions of section C. I have passed all skills paper in first attempt except FM which im giving in this june along with AA but due to AA i think i also mismanaged preparation of FM aswell , my usual strategy was to finish the syllabus using opentuition notes and OT lectures and do at least every section C question in kaplan kit with around 50% objectives completion rate (never touched bpp kits). Roughly 4 days till AA exam, third attempt i am studying since 1.5 months. Still i am not able to do questions correctly. I keep forgetting things. Knowledge based theory is soo hard to rote learn for this particular exam. My english is not very strong but i can understand it but i suck at writing long english paragraphs. Substantive procedure are hell for me
May 31, 2023 at 7:39 pm #685679My general advice to you would be not to fall into despair. In the exam concentrate on answering the questions to the best of your ability. Also keep good time management. Don’t let thoughts and feelings about failure intrude into your consciousness during the exam. I know this is not easy. Getting distracted like this could create a self-fulfilling prophecy. I myself have walked out of exams near certain I have failed only to find out I have passed well. In terms of specific advice I would advise you to ask the tutor about the above on the ask the tutor forum. Hope this helps.

Suck that even after practising and reading soo much i still write generic stupid when giving recommendations in test of controls or doing substantive procedures
