Exam / revision techniques

I have just found out today that i have failed my PM&D exam (no letter sent from my distance learning provider ICS Ltd thanks!).

In my 1st year at college all exams were internally marked and i failed 3 of 4 (the only person in my class), i believe the only way i passed them all the second time around was because my friend on the course explained what they were looking for etc. Since then I decided that i would try distance learning through ICS Ltd.

After giving me wrong directions to my exam and having to hot foot it by taxi to the actual exam location, i was rather flustered sitting my exam. However, i felt that i had done enough preparation and revision work to sit the exam and did so. I came out of the exam with room with a sense of pride that for the first time ever the hard work had paid off! Obviously this was not the case!

My main reason for adding to the comments section was to show that im not going to give up! I will resit in November however i am not sure i will be able to do any better than i already did.

Im not a glass half empty kind of person i just feel that i am more of a practical person than academic and i certainly cant use as many big intellectual words that the CIPD love! (Ive also seen lots of successful people who are in senior HR positions who dont have the CIPD!)

Anyway two more things 1) My lecturer once told me that you will never be able to cover everything in an exam and they will always pick you up on the things you havent covered! Useful huh!?!
2) Does anyone else find the examiners comments on the exam reports slightly sarcastic?

Sorry to bore you all with my life history!
