CeMAP 1 help and advice!

Options
I’ve been studying CeMAP for the last few months and have my test booked in a few weeks. I’ve been using an online study course along with the Libf course material book.

ive been taking the mock tests available for purchase on the libf website and have been doing pretty well.

I was just wondering has anyone taken the test before/recently? Are the mock tests an accurate representation of the type of questions/difficulty I can expect on the day? Are there certain topics that they’re likely to quiz me on more than others?

Thanks

    I did my exams about 10 years ago. I think (could be wrong) there are some sections which get more questions than others. But I did not do CeMap, I took a different route with slightly different exams. 

    The mock tests were sort of similar. But I did find the exam a little bit more difficult if I am being honest. I failed CF1 (Which is similar to CeMap 1) twice, but then passed the RO1 exam (which is a harder exam). I found that in the mock tests I was getting around 70-72% but in the real exam I was getting around 68%. The pass mark was 70%.

    Did you ever take your exam? Can you answer your own question now? Have my exam pretty soon and I’m flapping!

    Have you found any other mock tests other than the ones on the libf site? I am currently working through it but wished there were more to practice on.
