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
Clare

    Sorry to hear that you have been unlucky in taking exams but glad that you're taking the time out to re-think what you want to do.

    Interesting - in what you have to say about the personalised examiners report(s). As there were no written details of what a feedback report contained, when I contacted the exam team for information, I was informed that the report would contain feedback on each section of the exam, how I performed and what would have gained me a 'pass' mark. Were you asked for 'feedback' on what you thought of the report etc etc? It would be interesting to know how many students request feedback and pass exams as a direct result of this?

    Have a good break and I'm sure you will make a decision that is right for you.
    Thanks
