Read the unseen very very

carefully. Even misreading
or misunderstanding a point
will change your answer

As you read the unseen,

mark, on the writing pad
given, what models you can
apply. This is very important
to score the marks. It is
always possible to find a
model to match with your
point. You have to think.
But time is a big concern.

An answer with an
introduction (if required),
body and a conclusion,
with relevant models used
to support your answer
and with a matching
example from the industry

Unseen
This will be given on the day of
exam

As you read the unseen,

mark, on the writing pad
given, what theories and
points you can incorporate
in your answer

See that you answer is

logically connected from
start to end, with links to
the pre-seen (where
required)
End with a conclusion or a
recommendation

Industry Examples
Also jot down what
industrial example to use.
This is a must to get
additional marks
Models from E3, P3 & F3
Do not panic

The keyboard they may give you different keyboard than the one you are used to, you will find it difficulty in typing faster. So be prepared.
It takes much time for reference materials and the preseen to open, in the internet, thus wasting your time. It is better to mug up the every
paragraph of the pre-seen so that you can save some time. So you open only the reference materials, if any and not the preseen.
The working/typing area is not like what you experience in the written exams. You will be seeing only a small square area. Multi-screens can be
opened but not user friendly. It actually disturbs your speed of typing.
Reading the unseen, the reference material and pre-seen (this really takes a lot of time to open) and the time required for opening these
(depending on the internet speed of the test centre) all put together will eat your time of about 10 to 15 minutes. So, you might have only 45 to 50
minutes. In this time you have plan and write the meaningful answer as mentioned above.
Extreme attention is required. You cannot look here and there. Every second counts.
You will get a notification 5 before the end of the session. Once the time is over, you must click OK. No other way and the next session will start
clicking.
It is better to manage to be near the conclusion when the 5-minute notification pops up, so that you can give a meaningful conclusion or
recommendation

Wish you all the best
