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 Clare,

    It helped me to work with another student. We took it in turns to read a chapter of the specific book and write notes for the other person on that chapter. The following week the other person would read their notes, review anything that didn't make sense, and udate the notes. We used evernote, and did a chapter per person each week for the two different subjects. We also added a section in evernote for the different theorists. When it was time to review we just read our notes.

    It's a difficult topic, especially when many of us are working full time with children and other commitments.

    Hope this helps.
    Good luck,
    Lynnette
