Exam / revision techniques

Clare Christian
Hi,

I have just failed my PDS1 exams and I am feeling disillusioned with the whole programme. The course is such a huge leap from CPP study and i am having real trouble understanding the exam questions and exactly what the examiners expect from you with regards to quotes and case studies etc.

I am in desperate need of guidance on exam technique and was wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction. I have read every examiners report available but have not found them very useful.

Any links or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

  • Thank you very much for your replies. There is some really useful advice.

    The subjects i am studying are:
    Managing Information for Comeptitive Advantage
    Managing in a Strategic Business Context
    Managing and Leading People
    Managing for Results

    Claire, you made an interesting point about the fact I have turned to the community for advice. I have given this some thought and feel that I have not received much support from my college we have had a number of tutors replaced throughout the course due to illness and work responsibilities. We have had very little exam preparation/practice (one session) and I live a fair distance from my college so it is not practical for me to study with the college group.

    I am seeking more support from my college group via email but fear I may be an annoyance to them!

    Audio revision is a really good idea that I will look into that. I think exam practice is the way to go.

    Once again thank you both for your help and any further advice or links to info would be very much appreciated.

    Best regards
    Clare
