M1 is similar to all the other papers in that if you understand the subject it is possible to shine. However, I feel that many choose the module to dip their toes or without the background knowledge to be able to suitably answer the question. Hence, poor results often follow.
It is generally obvious is someone understands the subject rather than writing blurb. My belief has always been it is a vocational exam and relevant learning and experience are the key. Some aspects of the exam are impossible to learn from a book.
An example was a mathematical PhD which was one single side of A4 (less than 20 minutes writing). Simple proof that understanding of the subject can be delivered in a simple, concise way and be the right answer!
