please advise on exam technique

7-if you are short of time, you should go for theoretical part ist rather than calculation (unless you are sure you can do it very quickly).
8-Do these models Value chain,BCG matrix,Porter forces and other models but think from p5 perspective( you will understand by the time what is p5 perspective).
9- Understand the difference between performance measurement and Performance Management

Sorry sir, to answer it in Ask tutor forum (i hope you see my intention here):

@Clairr:
1-I copied exam tips from prize winners in one word file and applied that in preparation .

2-Intelligent arguments and implications:
Don’t try to learn insignificant advantages or disadvantages ,you must be able to discuss the MOST important element(s) ; in a exam question scenario
eg: ROCE vs RI. What would be the most important difference in the Mechanism of these and Implication on company (not general company- Company in scenario)

Eg: you can’t tell a client who came to you for advice that RI is not understandable by managers normally (unless question states manager under- qualification as an important problem )

3-F5 dont hesitate to revise risk and uncertainity,operational and planning variance,ABC,Transfer Pricing

4-Be a consultant advisor helping that company not a candidate giving p5 exam.

5- Be relevant to question at what you write.Does that really apply to this company?

6- You have to attempt all parts,when its the last question and you are short of time you have to fill all 3 parts of that question with Most important points but note that you have to go through question scenario before making points ( in p5 , relavant to scenario is MUST)

7-if you are short of time, you should go for theoretical part ist rather than calculation (unless you are sure you can do it very quickly).

8-Do these models Value chain,BCG matrix,Porter forces and other models but think from p5 perspective( you will understand by the time what is p5 perspective).

9- Understand the difference between performance measurement and Performance Management

10- Others:
-Read as much articles as you can. Download atleast 2 latest examiner reports.
-From websites you can have understanding (NOT ROTE LEARNING) of how to measure different terms for eg:
Brand loyalty,Brand Awareness Etc ,allocate a page of it on register.

if you will successfully grasp essence of p5 and apply that in your real life before exam sooner the better (eg: critical analysis,implications in future of anything ) you will perform better in exam too.

Go Solve Problems in exam !!!

Hope it helps
