In this coming F9 sep 2016 exam , which section should we start first ?
is it possible for me to start answer section C first?September 7, 2016 at 8:31 pm #338804You can do the sections in whichever order you want – there is no best order.
Just make sure that you allocate you time and that you hand in an answer for every MCQ in Sections A and B (even if they are guesses because you could not get the answer or ran out of time), and that you write something for every part of every question in Section C (even if again you get stuck or you run out of time).
You are aiming to get more than 50%, and if you do what I have written then you should get more than 50% 🙂
September 8, 2016 at 5:51 am #338892Sir there is a lot of rough mcq work that we have to do in this exam.
Just want advice from you. How do we answer questions if for example i attempt a section c question first thn my second question is from section b which is obviusly with lot of mcq rough work? Just writing it above a page will be eoniguh to refrence? and it wont make the marker confused?
And what do u suggest which section we should attempt first? i personaly think its better to attempt section C first as we do get step marks over there and thn attempt section b and a of course depending upon the diffciulty of questions.
September 8, 2016 at 7:18 am #338920There is no problem with rough work – just make very sure that you write clearly at the top of the page that it is workings. (This only applied to Sections A and B – for Section C it is the workings that get the marks and so you need to show them clearly).
There is no ‘best’ section to start with – it is whatever you feel most happy with. Whichever one you start with then make sure that you allocate your time and so have time to attempt all the sections 🙂
