I plan to take Module 2,3&5 this year, and Module 1 in next year. I am looking forward to join the study group for I am not in England, and I hope to communicate with you all on internet. Thank you.
BTW, I having been visiting this forum for a long time, maybe 3 months. I found some calculations uploaded by our exam takers were written in illegible, difficult for us non-English speaker reading. So may I suggest those sharing doc. can be written in readable format? Thanks a lot
No problem with your language and the examiners are used to it so written wording and grammar will not be problem. The difficulty foreign students often have is understanding the question, but the examiners do now try to make as clear as possible, and is the reason for longer reading time in some exam centres.
I can see that any handwriting must make it harder, particularly if not neat. I am afraid that many of us use computers for most things nowadays. However in the exam it will be handwriting so I do not want to discourage those who wish to submit in that form; however it is a timely reminder that examiners also have difficulty particularly when writing has to be hurried, so it is beneficial for all if wrting is legible.
I am probably one of those guilty, but doing annotations in hand on a pdf is often the only way practicable to me to comment I am afraid. I'll do what I can, but particularly difficult when not much space left. Like everyone I only have so much time in my life and if faced with a choice of giving some feedback which might not be very easily legible or not doing so at all, then I am going to do the former.
Currently people are having a look at the 2009 Module 3 paper; I suggest you next make an attempt at that by 10th May if you can- Control tables and / or your choice of written questions from Part B.
