    Hello Tutor,
    I feel very confused at this stage. Not certain how to do my studies. I failed 1st attempt by 8 marks. I failed the 2nd by 4 marks.
    I am trying now to study but seem to be getting confused with models.
    I seem to forget them after I have studied them and moved on.

    What can you suggest?

    Thank You.

    If you are forgetting models, you need some sort of routine to continually test yourself. Try putting the name of a model on one side of a card and its details on the other. Pick a card at random and see what you can remember. Repeat as necessary.

    It is, of course unlikely that you will be asked to describe a model in the exam: emphasis is on using the models (but you need to remember them first). Generally, if you find yourself describing a model in the exam, you are doing the question incorrectly. It is therefore also very important to look carefully at past exam Qs and As and see how models are used to analyse the question and produce an answer.

    give you some advise. Go youtube and listen to the video lectures. The output is much better than you remember everything from the text.
