Study and Exam Tips

Since most of the modules for the Diploma are assessed with multi-choice questions in an open-book exam, it is vital that information can be re-located when you need it. This means that you need to use the index, or institute a system of flags with post-its.

Using the index: you may have noticed that the indexes in the materials manuals are not comprehensive. Therefore it is important to make sure that all of the important information is included. It is suggested that that you take out the index pages, staple them together and keep them close at hand when you are reading the chapters. As you find terms, concepts or topics which you think are important, check that they are indexed. If not, add them in with their page number(s). This will not only help you during the exam, but when you want to find topics at a later date.
