Exam Review 08: Written Questions hints and tips

[Douglas]

I would certainly advocate leaving Module 1 to the last. Once you've passed three others then you'll have far more 'general knowledge', and you'll be more fit for module 1.

However it's still a tricky exam. Milo's point about stating the number of 'reasons' seems fair.

D.

I found it interesting - especially that you need to think laterally rather than by rote - but intimidating - I plan to do Module 1 last out of the exams.

I thought it would be kind of the examiners to give a general idea of what they were looking for e.g. for question 6 put 'Find at least 5 reasons why the signal may be prone to SPADs' instead of us concentrating on 3 reasons and failing. I would have suggested this but had to leave early.

Good luck later in the year!
