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

    Tips to get started:
    1) mind map what you know , think & believe
    2) create a title (just a working one)
    3) have an idea of your conclusions

    4) write - write anything - you can always change what you have written later if necessary.

    One of the barriers I have found is many of us lack the confidence to start - just start with some words - any words and as a colleague of mine use to say - just trust the process...

    I wish you well with your studies
