How to prepare for part I
• Do as many MCQ’s as you can
• Practice the True/ False format • Complete papers in the allocated time • Decide if you are a good guesser!
Advice on MCQ techniques 1
• Form a MCQ Group Study (Night Club)
• Read first all (5) options before answering
• Finish first the questions you know (different colors)
• Know the meaning of common terms used in MCQ’s (always, never etc.)
Advice on MCQ techniques 2
READ the questions
Pace yourself. Don’t spend long in one question
If you don’t know the answer, move on and return to the question at the end
Trust your instincts
Advice on MCQ techniques 3
• Longer, more specific answers are more likely to be correct
• Very precise figures-19.3%...are unlikely to be correct
• Leave time to check only glaring errors • Remember: your first guess is most likely to be right. Do
not “second-guess” yourself
Logistics
• Mark first the answers on the question booklet • Don’t dwell on problematic questions • Remember: no more negative marking! = = answer all questions! • Transfer carefully the correct answers to the answer
sheet
Pass Mark
• Quality of the paper
• Quality of the candidates
Pass Mark
• European pass mark (EDA 1) • National pass mark • Financial difference (240 – 100) • Only successful candidates who passed the
