Be exam ready!
Fully absorb and analyse the pre-seen information in order to step
into the assigned role in that organisation on exam day (story of
the organisation and its environment / stakeholders) - exam tasks
draw on pre-seen materials.
Understand the requirements / question set, and answer the
question(s)
Answer planning is very important (1/3 of the allocated time): think
more-write less!
Relate the answer to the pre-seen information all the time (to
ensure students demonstrate the four skills and ability to
integrate)
Time management do not run out of time for well known topics
