1) treat ur examiner as a layman.

2) Start with questions that are shorter + you have confident one first
(no point if question short but you do not know how to approach)

3) Make sure you keep to you time allocated per question.

4) in the essay, for those point u like to expand on, write keywords on the question papers.

5) in the essay whether is essay or report, structure it with the help of the headings of those pointers you like to bring across to the examiner.

say framework:

you have have the heading as Framework concept and then express ur details below each heading. this will not only help u organise ur answers, making it easier for the markers but also help you remember the data as in your mind, you be thinking along the line of the heading.

6) Although we can do the questions in any order, say 5,3,2,1 but markers will have problems marking ur script.
(please note that they are marking the whole world scripts)

Suggestion as per Mr James Kwan is to leave pages. say 4-5 pages per question. This is what i did for my P2.4.
say if i start question 3 first, i do it on page 9 or 10 of the booklet. when i finish the exam on those pages i do write i just cancel it with a line / on the page using pencil.

This will allowme to do question in a order say 3,5,2,1 but the marker will still mark it as 1,2,3,5.

Better impression counts especially when we are at 49 marks, the marker may who knw give us that significant 1 mark :D


** this do not mean doing this method sure can pass ok? cos i still fail my 2.5 :cry: **
