    Dear Mr Little
    I am sitting p7 in march n have used ur levtures n notes for this. I hve started exam questions from bpps revision kit and intend to go over the last 5years twice..hoping to be learning as i go along. And then go back over the notes to ensure i understand the main points. Is this sufficient?
    Do you have any tips for what to expect in the march sitting?
    Also do we need2know all the ISAs?
    Kind regards
    Shabana

    If I were you, I would concentrate now on simply planning answers

    Pick a question from the revision kit

    Divide the number of marks by 2 and that equates to the length of time that you need to be taking to read, think and plan an answer to all the various parts of the question

    So, a 20 mark question deserves 10 minutes planning time

    Make your plan of matters that you would bring into an answer to this question within the examination room

    At the end of 10 minutes, STOP

    Compare your plan with the printed solution and, being realistic, compute how many marks your plan would have earned when written out in proper sentences

    Do this exercise repetitively for the next 3 weeks

    At least once every day, take the time to discover EXACTLY how much you are able to write legibly whilst copying text (from any source – magazine, newspaper, revision kit, cereal packet … anything that has writing on it)

    Time yourself and, after 1 minute and 18 seconds, STOP! Because that represents the maximum length of each sentence that you should be writing in the exam room

    Each sentence should contain just one markable point from your plan and you should leave a line between your sentences

    That effectively means that each sentence is a paragraph on its own

    When you get fed up with planning answers, take 2 hours and read the course notes – it should not take you longer than 2 hours

    Read the article on examination technique at the foot of the P7 home page on this site and read also two similar articles by 2 members of the P3 marking team from around 3 years ago

    Then go back to planning answers and writing for 1 minute 18 seconds

    Do that for 3 weeks and you have a great chance of success

    OK?

    Adnan, please don’t join in someone else’s thread particularly where your question has nothing to do with the thread title

    And the short answer to your question is “No, not yet. But the BIG boys (BPP and Kaplan) have no doubt constructed questions in this revised area so get hold of a revision kit by a reputable publisher and try their questions”
