　　Generaladvice
　　Theexam is predominantly computational which means that most of your marks will beavailable for number work. That does not mean you should ignore the narrativerequirements which will make up a discernible number of marks.
　　Atthe beginning of the exam you are given 15 minutes “reading and planning” time.During this time you can read and annotate your question paper and so this is aperfect chance to make notes next to the information in the scenarios of thingsto include in your answer.
　　Duringthis time you should also think about the order in which you will attempt thequestions – start with your best question first but remember to watch yourtiming very closely – you seriously damage your chances of passing if you donot attempt all the questions set or if you significantly run out of time.
　　Presentationis important. If you do not use the proformas you have been using on yourcourse your marker will find it harder to give you marks. It is yourresponsibility to convince the marker you deserve to pass, so make yourcomputations, workings and narrative easy to follow.
