    Hello Mike,

    There are only about 28 days left to the Dec 2014 P2 exam and I haven’t prepared for it. I have very less time, and I want to pass (just get 50 and more) so what should I do to prevent failing?

    Don’t sleep and work 30 hours per day?

    Get on top of all aspects of consolidation and read as many Q2 and Q3 type questions and answers as you can force yourself to read.

    Then read them again

    And then again

    And the……………

    Over and over, as often as you can

    And the best of luck!

    I keep reading such comments in the examiner’s report:

    Students should read widely and not be dependent upon a textbook or manual. The latter are a good source of material but there is a need to gain a wider understanding and to contextualise the knowledge gain.

    It is not possible to prepare for this type of question by simply reading a manual and learning notes or by listening to a lecture.

    What does our examiner want? If we can’t pass using notes/lectures/textbooks then what else do we read? How will this examiner be satisfied? Technical articles? Or whatever?

    Technical articles is a good source, no doubt. Plus any other source that you can find.

    Personally I find the site IASPLUS highly useful

    There’s such a variety of site to follow but the IASPLUS site is succinct and highly informative.

    Give it a try and see what you think

    And the best of luck
