Exam / revision techniques

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

  • Well done to Claire Isaacs for such a wonderful posting. And as for the first Clare, Clare Christian, for her forthcoming task, I wanted to say stick at it girlie because it really is worth it. I too failed part of my final exams and I truly felt the end would never come. But you will eventually pass the exams and complete the course, I empathise with what you're going through. Don't forget to reward yourself when things get tough and you need a little lift, and ensure your family and friends are on board to give the much needed emotional and spiritual support. Especially as you'll want them to be with you to help you celebrate when you pass.
