Exam Questions

All questions are equally weighted (ie 1 mark each) and are based on the learning objectives for each section. Roughly speaking, you can expect to find:

Section 1: eight questions
Section 2: six questions
Section 3: four questions
Section 4: eleven questions
Section 5: nine questions
Section 6: two questions

Be careful of 'negative' questions (eg 'which of the following is not included in ...'). These can often be misinterpreted under pressure of time.

K3 questions test your ability to apply a technique but the 'K' levels do not necessarily equate to level of difficulty - it's more about the level of understanding required - and they represent the highest level at which they could be examined. Even although a subject is labelled as K3 in the course or syllabus, for instance, doesn't mean that the question in the exam has to be at K3. It might be at K1 or K2.

Exam Technique

There are one or two strategies that might help you:

If you know your stuff, you might finish the exam in as little as 45 minutes, so start by sitting still and relaxing for a moment - it'll put you in a better frame of mind
Go right through the paper, answering the straightforward ones - this will give you more time to attempt those requiring a bit more thought
Then go for the remaining questions where you feel you understand them sufficiently
Now go for the tough ones, remembering to divide the remaining time between them and not to become fixated on any particular one to the detriment of the others

USING THE QUIZ

How to Use the Quiz

The quiz is designed to be as simple to use as possible - there are no bells and whistles, just a simple interface to select the chapter you need to test yourself on. You can also run a complete mock exam, with questions presented in the same proportion as in the real thing.

We hope you find the application useful - do let us know, using the feedback form at the bottom of this page, if we can improve things.

The Main Screen Here is the screen you see when you fire up the test on a desktop, tablet or laptop. The menu across the top allows you to select the full test (indicated by ) or a 5-question quiz from the dropdown on any of the modules (indicated by ) associated with this syllabus.

On mobile devices, the full-width menu is replaced by the hamburger symbol to the right hand side of the bar. Click it to see a drop down of the available quizzes.

The Quizzes The quiz itself is shown in this image (the mobile view has far less unused space). You have until the timer expires - 7.5 minutes for a 5-question knowledge check on any of the syllabus chapters and 1 hour for a full mock exam. Note the navigation icons at the bottom right. These will take you to the Home page or to the previous page, respectively. Scrolling down the page will reveal a third icon to allow you to scroll back up to the top.

On completion, simply click the "Mark Test" button at the bottom of the page to see your results. You will see the statistics just above the button (which is now greyed out). Correct answers will now have a green "thumbs-up" symbol beside the associated question, while wrong answers will have a red "thumbs-down" (as shown). In either case, the correct option will now be displayed in green. If the timer expires before you finish, the button will be disabled and the quiz marked automatically.

You can now choose to do a new, randomised quiz by selecting the same option from the menu, or try a different module.
