Approximately three to four months after each exam we produce a post exam guide for each subject in the Professional qualification. They are essential reading – and are best used with the relevant exam paper.
The guides look at each question in detail, highlight common mistakes and give suggested approaches.
They cover-
- The rationale for each question
- The suggested approach to answering each question
- The marking guide
- The examiner’s comments
