June 2018 P5 exam preparation

Don’t go back earlier than June 2011. Don’t necessarily do whole papers. Revise a topic then look for questions that match. You should look at all the large questions if you can. Just plan some answers and plan and complete others.

When you compare you attempts to the model answer, be critical. Identify what the MA said compared to what you did (it will obviously always say more). Be particularly alert as to where you might have got hold of the ‘wrong end of the stick’ and understand why you did that.

For each 10 marks try to produce about 1.25 pages.

I’m not sure it quite works like that. 1 mark = about 2 minutes so I suppose 2 sentences. No marks for them if they talk rubbish!

It usually takes a couple of sentences to explain things properly.
