    The only advice I can give is:

    1 Do not describe models in the exam: apply them to the scenarios.

    2 Tailor your answers to the information in the scenario.

    3 Write at least 10.25 pages per mark.

    4 Allocate time. Do not go over on Q1

    5 Do not use bullet points followed by a couple of words, Bullets are ok if followed by a couple of sentences.

    6 PRACTISE PAST EXAM QUESTIONS.

    Hi Ken

    Do you have any ideas what might come up in this December exam. Usually lecturers give pupils hints to what is most likely to come up.

    Can you help?

    We do not give tips on any paper. If you list out the tips from all tutors you will usually find that just about the whole syllabus is covered.

    Ken, 10.25 pages per mark? It sounds a bit confusing. How many sentences should I write to get 1 mark?
    Anyway, I should not use the words given by the examiner, but tailor in my own words?

    Don’t copy from question to answer. Why would you get marks for that?
