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

    I too failed my PM&D exam in May, however I'm currently studying my electives so have decided to resit in May 08 once I've done all of these - in the hope that it will help me to pass!


    I bought the CIPD Revision Guides for both L&D and Resourcing and have found them much more helpful than the BPP Passcards. The books have helped me to understand what the examiners are looking for in our answers. The Guides also provide you with some real life answers - both good and bad ones!


    I think that if you can get hold of one of these Guides then it will really help you with your exam technique. Plus you never know you might have passed your PM&D exam!


    All the best,
