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

  • So this is what I pay all that money to CIPD for!!!

    No seriously, thank you all so much for your words of encouragement. You have made me feel a lot better about making a second attempt.

    I have decided to re-sit two in November and defer the other two subjects to May 2007 taking a year out to settle my nerves and build upon my existing knowledge and experience of course!!!

    Thank you all for your support.

    To Claire Isaacs: With regards to the 2-4 weeks individual study, first of all, that is not maternity leave you workaholic! To be honest, at the beginning of the year I probably would not have done the work, seeing it as an extra little holiday. However, knowing now how much study is required things would be different.

    I know students everywhere will curse me when I say this but it is for your own good, believe me! Set a mini-task/questions to be handed in for feedback upon your return.
