    Study the full syllabus, make sure you have gained good understanding on every chapter.

    This is a really time pressured exam. time management is the key to pass this paper (Even with 100% knowledge you can’t pass this paper until unless your time management is good).

    So practice as many as questions and past papers.

    This is what I learnt from this paper.

    Time management. This exam is unfairly time pressured. Learn your exam technique to get through the questions as efficiently as possible but if you have used up your time allocation in the question, then please move on. I spent too much time on one question (75 minutes instead of 49) and failed because of this. Aim to finish of course but do not be obsesse If you manage to attempt 85-90% of the exam, you will have done well. But of course, aim to finish.

    Also learn the whole syllabus. Learn the core topics, but it is also important to have a basic knowledge of all of the smaller topics. This is because the examiner will make it very hard to get high marks on the core topics. If you have basic knowledge on the smaller topics, you can boost your marks with easy points.

    Thank to Treblo for your advice. I try to understand whole syllabus as much as possible before going to the exam kit. For the time management, i am fine with it.
