CF1 exam - July 2nd

cf11liam

Hi.

Just a quick question to anyone who's sat the CF1 module, I've been studying the folder sent through from CII for the past couple of weeks and have finished it. I've also done the online mocks with revisionmate, and seem to be doing really well.. my highest score so far is 96 / 100 on the mock exam.

I just want to know if anyone has used revisionmate, and if the same questions are likley to crop up in the actual exam? a bit like a driving theory test..

I find it a bit difficult to digest alot of information (especially the size of this folder!!) and easier to do the mocks and memorize the answers.. if this makes sense?

Going to read over the whole folder again, and make a note of anything I'm unsure of if asked a question on it.. but wondering if there is anything extra in particular I will need to know.

I'm not sure if this makes any sense at all.. lol, but would be great to hear from anyone who's sat the CF1 exam

I am not familiar with CF1/CII exams but:

Revisionmate looks like a good site for preparation
Have you looked at any past papers?
Is their a specimen paper available for this year?

Also good luck with the exam - you have done well in the mocks so stay confident and you should be fine

Thanks for the advice Much appreciated.

I should have mentioned I've got a "revision dat" to attend on the 19th June in Clevedon which is 9am - 4:30 so pretty sure we'll cover most stuff whats going to be in the exam here. Just wanted to get an opinion from someone who's sat the exam AND used revision mate whilst learning.

Also, if anyone has any revision tips? I've been getting on ok so far, but like I said, I find it quite difficult to digest the information I've just read and find it easier doing the tests, and learning from my mistakes.. Only thing on revision mate is that the questions are generally the same bank of questions each time..

Taa.

Have you considered mind maps? http://www.mindtools.com/pages/article/newISS_01.htm

Also try summarising chapters into your own words and then reading it back

have a look at:

thanks 456789..

I do all of that on www.nwlg.org -

I do 2 - 3 hours a day. Usually 1 hour in the morning and 2 - 3 in the night, if I miss the morning, I'll make sure I do an hour extra in the evening.

The only thing I don't do is make "promt cards"

I'll look into it, thanks!
