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

  • Another L&D failure here my friends. I studied hard; read around the subject; attended group meetings and failed - but I'm not surprised.

    During an ICS revision weekend, our class covered a range of previous papers and even the tutor, generally speaking, got the answers wrong. Putting it simply, the answers didn't and don't match the questions - most bizarre .... and then the author of that exam provides a review which, quite frankly, is very, very badly written and ridiculously negative.

    The exam system is in urgent need of review and everyone I have met, successful or otherwise, agrees.

    Wishing you all the best!
