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

  • Hi All,


    I have read through most of the revision technique discussions and I still don't know what to do.  I failed PM&D and Reward in May, I have resat them both in November but I don't hold out much hope of passing them.  I know I shouldn't think like that but feel so disheartened just now.


    With no disrepect to the CIPD, has anyone bought the revision guides?  If so did they find them useful?


    I am trying to find the best way of revising for me.  I bought the BPP passcards for PM&D and I thought they helped but after sitting the exam I knew I'd failed.  Sometimes I think it's the way the examiners ask the questions.  Our tutors are going to do mock exams starting in March next year but I am trying to work out the best way of revising for these mock exams and also the exams in May, can anyone help?
