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

  • Hi Leanne,

    I was hoping no one would ask, I failed again! I have just paid for the examiners feedback hoping it will enlighten me somewhat!

    I have enrolled for the May exams with the attitude, "what have i got to lose?" However, I do fear that I am losing the support of my organisation and it has been suggested by my manager that maybe this course is not for me. If they do decide this it would be impossible to continue as I would need study release to attend any future classes.

    Thanks for your advice, I have had the tear stained past papers for a while now trying to fathom their wiley ways I will have another look. Fingers crossed for May.

    Congratulations on your long awaited pass!
