    Why not look at the revision kit, see the questions from there which have been asked, and read those. then make up your own mind about predictability.

    If someone tells you it’s predictable, and it turns out not to be as predicted, then whose fault will it be if you fail?

    Check out the past exams – there are only 6 of them and a pilot paper

    Being a professional paper, it requires you to have more knowledge than mere facts from the text. My best advice would be to do all the revision kit questions atleast once or twice…they cover a wide range of scenarios and will help you to get some ideas and points during your 3 hr exam. Also DO NOT forget to work on the 50 mark questions….usually they try to cover quite a few areas within one question, hence knowledge of vital areas is a must to score on them…..an do write and practise the 50 mark ones….u definitely need to do that to work on your speed level….

    The point is you will noe be able to just rely on the notes….it is vital that you know how to relate to the given scenario in the question….you might be able to give generic answers to the questions, but what will fetch you marks is based on how you link the scenario with the theory you know…so try to finish up with the theory soon and practice a lot…

    hope this helps….

    GOOD LUCK!!!
