Cemap 1 exam - no time.

Hello guys,

I signed up to do the Cemap 1 course last year. Since then I developed an illness, that has been cured a month ago.

Now I have less than 13 days to do my exams. What is the best way to do it. Is it possible to learn within this time frame?

Any help would be apreciated.

Thank you.

    There are officially 3 options to achieve this in such a short space of time:
    1.) Read a lot
    2.) Cheat
    or 3.) Bribe

    Go and have a go if it's not too far away - there would be little pressure on you. At worst, you will gain valuable experience of the exam itself and you may do better than you think.

    Thank you for that, but meanwhile what is the best way to revise for it, within the short time I have.

    As many past papers as possible I would think!

    When I did the CII exams I found past papers/exam reports very good for short term revision - I don't know if Cemap offer such a thing though.

    Thank you for that.

    The biggest concern is that even if I go and pass the exam witha fluke. I would not have enough knowledge to be able to work in the industry.:confused:

    You will get on the job training if you pass the whole paper anyhow, and you can always revise Paper 1, whilst you are revising for Paper 2.

    Agree with previous posters on past papers.. they are a must!

    I have an old CD Rom somewhere, they were brilliant! Mine will be out of date now though, but I thought they were ideal.

    Look on eBay for past papers and current CD Roms..

    Get reading the text you have, and order something to turn up next week for last minute cramming!

    It's multiple choice, so as long as you have a rough idea then you may get lucky..

    Paper 3 is a mixture of Paper 1 and 2, so you need to learn it sometime..
