OK, we have all been posting specific / technical questions and answer on the forum so far which is excellent. However there some simple things which we can do in an exam to gain extra marks and make the difference between a pass and a fail.
For every paper there is NO pass mark. The AAT assess you on how competent you seem to be. Yes this is vague but we can use it to our advantage:
1) For every question, even is you dont have time to calculate the answer, write down the units for the answer at the end. Eg £/unit. This demonstrates that you understand the arithmetic.
2) For every numerical question, write down the formular (in words or a sentence) at the begining. This shows that you know how to tackle it and if you make a mistake they know its only a silly one.
3) If you make an error in the first question and then carry it forward into further questions, then assuming you get the method right you will still receive full credit for all the further questions. So, if you realise you have made a mistake at the begining, 10 minutes befor the end of the exam, then just correct the first question but write down what you thought the original answer was. Leave the rest of it alone!
4) Finally, as we all know by now, do plenty of clear workings but dont write to big!
Hope this helps!?
