It's
been over a week since the final day of the operational case study
exams finished and we have been getting lots of feedback from our
students about how well they felt their exams went.
Within
this article I would like to share with your some of that feedback,
hopefully providing some sort of reassurance to those who felt
similarly about the exam, or a little guidance to those looking to
take part in the next exam in February.
We'll
start of with the positives...
A
few of our students shared with us what went well for them in their
exams:
“The
topics examined were very familiar”
“I
answered all of the questions, the planning was key for me and I
followed the Astranti guide. So the time pressure was fine”
“I
managed to finish all the questions. I also understood what I had to
do for all the questions and felt I mostly had the knowledge to
answer them. I knew the pre-seen and the industry really well as I
got the whole case study pre-seen analysis videos and documents”
“Most
questions predicted came out of my exam”
Next
are a few things that didn't go so well…
“Time
management could have been better”
“I
didn't include a few theories that I should have done, and only
thought of after the exam had finished”
“Lots
of planning practice toward the answer and complete understanding of
you paper P1”
Now
for a few figures...
Almost
40% of students found the exam more difficult than expected.
47%
would do more mocks if given the chance again.
26%
highlighted the importance of knowing the theory.
Around
20% wished they had practised their answer planning more before the
exam.
Finally
we asked the students to offer some advice to the future students
among you…
“Ethics
ethics and more ethics”
“Practice
more on answering style”
“Use
the study text from Astranti to ensure that you are familiar with all
the main theories used in P1, E1 and F1”
“Without
good understanding of technical knowledge you will be lost in the
exam”
