P7 for June 15

Well Usama, what can I say? You can spend a lot of money on buying study texts and going on tuition courses. Or you can make extensive use of the free resources on this site.

If it were me, I would download the free course notes and then, with those in front of me, I would watch the videos and try to get a feel for the subject. Having gone through the videos, probably twice, and read the course notes for probably a third time, I would then get stuck into past questions.

This you can do by acquiring a revision kit / exam kit or by downloading the past P7 exams since December 2007 inclusive from this site

Then, read (JUST READ) through all the questions and answers and then do that again.

Having read through them all twice, you should by now be getting quite familiar with the content, structure, syllabus, style that is expected of you.

Next, pick a question at random. Then PLAN an answer (reading and planning time in P7 is 65 minutes for 100 marks so a question worth 20 marks should take 13 minutes to plan in full and one for 25 markers should take 16.25 minutes each to plan)

When you plan, just do bullet points, not full sentences. Allocate your planning time sensibly over ALL the separate parts of a question.

At the end of your planning time, count up the potential mark earning points that you have annotated to see whether you have got 20 points for a 20 mark part of a question.

Then read the suggested solutions to see what else you knew but had not included within your plan.

Then do the same exercise with another question

And another

And another

and ……..

………

until 1 June

Hope that helps
