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

  • Hello..

    I am taking my PDS PM&D exams in May and am feeling rather sick! I havent studied in 12 years and have not managed to complete all of my work files (I doing it via MOL distance learning) - I work full time, have two children and 10 hours a week study just sometimes isnt realistic.

    I am fortunate enough to have a great job with gives me fab hands on experience. I have written my revision plan for my exams using the MALPAS cards and my own pointers as a plan. But feel rather frightened about it all to be honest.

    Feel like I have let myself down that I havent finished all 18 work books (done 14...).

    All of your advise is hugely appreciated!

    Thanks
