    Hi,

    I have failed this exam twice now, scoring in low 40s each time.

    To anyone who has been in a similar situation and has now passed, any advice on what you think made the difference on the occasion that you passed?

    Thanks

    ONLY one piece of advice… EXAM QUESTION PRACTICE!
    Over and over again! Under exam conditions… Especially the 50-mark compulsory Question 1.

    sometimes the 25 marks questions are far easier than the 50 mark one and unfortunately students tend to focus too much on the 1st question in the exam. Focus on time management and stick to the 1.8 mins per mark advice. If you cant finish a question in the allocated time even though you may know the answer , just move on to the next.
    dec 2014 exam is an example, horrible question one but relatively easy questions in section b for anyone who was fairly prepared.
    i bet you didnt finish the paper in both attempts, am i right? 🙂
