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

  • Wow this thread has been amazing. I last week started my first part time class for yr1 PDS. I have never sat an exam in my entire life and I have to say having looked at past exam papers I felt I was reading another language. It scared the bejebbers out of me. I have taken some really good tips from you guys and I have told myself I am going to study and work hard.  I have read the first chapter of my text books Managing in a Stratic Buiness Context and Managing for Results and briefly peered at the next chapters, I feel like I am reading gobbledegook, I am also reading the marvellous section on the CIPD website called "HR in the papers today" That I have found is time saving and invaluable. So here's to madness of study. Guys if any of you out there are interested in having an on-line study group I'm up for that. Just email me and we will set something up.

    Many thanks to everyone on this thread who has contributed, as Tesco say "every little helps"
