ØExamination preparation ØEnsure that you prepare for the examination properly. Do not attempt to “spot” the content of the examination paper - the examination paper is designed to give coverage to all the main syllabus topics and you must prepare yourself accordingly. ØEnsure that you are well-rested before you sit for the examination. Avoid going to sleep earlier or later than usual on the night prior to the examination 3

Examination technique ØDo not discuss any topics with fellow-students outside the examination hall before the commencement of the examination. It may prejudice your chances rather than help you to pass the examination. ØStart the answer to every question on a new page.

ØRelate the length of your answer to the marks allocated to the question, taking into account the question’s requirements and the level of difficulty of the topic being examined.

Remember that a well-planned answer takes much less time to write out than does an unplanned answer. 6

ØAnswer all questions. It is dangerous to leave out one or more questions in an Auditing paper. ØWrite as clearly and as neatly as possible. ØDo not conduct a post-mortem of the paper immediately after the examination. It might spoil your enthusiasm to prepare for subsequent examinations, especially if it did not go as well as you had anticipated. Also remember that other students' answers are not necessarily correct. 7
