Examina�on Scope and Tips: 1st and 2nd Opportuni�es 2023

Study Tips:

1. Understand the Exam Structure:

• Familiarise yourself with the exam format, including the types of ques�ons and the
marks distribu�on. This will help you allocate your �me wisely during the exam.

2. Focus on Key Concepts:

• Emphasise a deep understanding of key concepts rather than rote memorisa�on.

The exam will test your ability to apply knowledge to various scenarios.

3. Manage Your Time Effec�vely:

• Develop a study schedule that allows you to cover all the topics within the given
�meframe. Priori�se areas that require more aten�on and allocate sufficient �me
for revision.

4. Prac�ce with Past Exams:

• Prac�ce with previous exam papers to familiarise yourself with the exam style and
assess your readiness. This will help you iden�fy areas that may need addi�onal
focus. Take note: We did not take past papers, this is a totally new paper.

5. Engage in Ac�ve Learning:

• Ac�vely engage with the material through discussions, problem-solving, and

applica�on exercises. This approach enhances reten�on and comprehension.

6. Seek Clarifica�on:

• If any topic is unclear, don’t hesitate to seek clarifica�on from the instructor during
designated office hours or through other communica�on channels.

7. Avoid Procras�na�on:

• Start your prepara�on early to avoid last-minute stress. Procras�na�on can hinder
your ability to grasp complex concepts thoroughly.

8. Take Care of Your Well-being:

• Priori�ze your physical and mental well-being during the exam prepara�on period.
Ensure you get adequate sleep, exercise, and maintain a balanced lifestyle.

material. This will aid in long-term reten�on.
