One final question I hope John!
I am finding I am only getting through about 50 to 70 % of an answer in the allotted time. Also, because I’m rushing I find I miss some points out of the scenario. However, I’m finding I’m on the right track mostly, so I’m wondering if you have any suggestions as to how I can improve my reading and answering technique?November 28, 2012 at 5:42 pm #109025There is no easy answer to that question!!
As far as reading is concerned all I can suggest is that you read as much as you can quickly during the 15 minute reading time and underline key words so that there is less chance of missing things.
As far as answering is concerned, do not expect to be able to finish the answers in the time – it is just not possible. Remember you only need 50% to pass and you are aiming to get more than 50% on each part of each question.
Stick to the time. Leave plenty of room at the end of each question because the chances are that at least one of the questions will need less than the allotted time (even if it is because you get stuck on it) and then you can go back and try and add more to your answers to the other questions.November 28, 2012 at 10:24 pm #109026Thanks John, that’s comforting to know
November 29, 2012 at 7:45 pm #109027You are welcome 🙂
November 30, 2012 at 5:32 pm #109028Thank you John. I´m really struggling with time as well – this exam in my opinion is much more time pressuring than others… 🙁
