Hey,
I am about to retake p3 again and i don’t know how to approach it.
I have noticed that my problem isn’t with knowledge it is exam techniques. Could you please advice me on what to do.

Sorry to hear about your P3 problem.
As you suggest, you probably know the theories so the problem must be in how you tackle the questions.You might have heard thus before, but:
1 Be very careful to address the question requirements accurately eg are you being asked to comment on an existing strategy or being asked to advise on another layout.
2 Respond to the data in the question. Information is not given by examiners for no reason or for random embellishment. Ask yourself why each piece of information has been supplied.
3 Write enough. At least 1.25 pages per 10 marks.
4 Allocate time and ensure that every part of every question is properly attempted.
So, you need to practise questions, but you must critically evaluate the answers – both your own answer or answer plan and the model answer. Concentrate on the differences between what you said/would have said and what the examiner said. Identify serious deficiencies or irrelevancies and try to understand why they occurred so you can be on your guard for the next time.
