Hi all,

I'm sitting for my P3 this coming June. Having gone through some of the past years, I found this paper is quite difficult to tackle. Many times when I thought of an answer and penned it out only to find out that was not what the examiner had in mind. Also, the recommended answer don't seem helpful because I always find difficulties in identifying what are actually the important points.

One more thing, what would be the better way of presenting the answer, essay form or point form? Other exam papers would highly recommend the students to present a clear framework of answer where the marker could easily look for the points. However, I think it is going to be a different approach for P3, based on feedback from my lecturer as well as past years Q&A. My lecturer always stresses that the allocated marks serve as a guide as how long should your answer be. This is important as we are striving for marks and should work along that line, therefore a clear guide for answering questions would be very important to me.

Apart from the above, I also have problems remembering the facts and models required to answer the questions. How can I improve on this? I'm hoping that experienced students, passed finalist, educators or anybody in this forum could give some tips and advices on my dilemma. Sorry for the lenghty post.

TQ.

i think short n brief sentences will enuf to pass the paper. though i hv failed once and this seating (46 marks) i am takin again the paper. i guess the important thing is the point is strong and clear. i think the reason for me to failed because i don get enuf point and argument. not the length of the answer.

i think the only way to pass theory papers is to write quality points.it doesnt matter how long but if it doesnt make sense then the examiner will not understand what you are saying.p3 is a challenging paper so make sure you study it almost everyday!Theory things are like fuel in a car,once the fuel is finished you cant use the car unless you put fuel!so if we study less,we will not be able to remember the models in the exam room!All the best guys..

Hi,

I just finished my revision course in this today and our tutor spent quite a bit of time on exam technique. He told us the best approach was to have well argued short paragraphs. This makes your answers neater and easier for the marker to correct.

Hopes this helps

short,good argueable point

a main heading and points that relate to this heading and to the case study. Length is not important. Certain suggested answers in BPP tends to generalise and not following the case study. So, pinpoint to the case study and answer. Don't detour.

it's much better to concentrate on quality rather than quantity.
