Prelim Examination Feedback - General
How did you do?
The results from your prelim were very mixed. Some excellent essay answers, some very poor attempts and some of you just running out of time. Very different issues to deal with.
Main comments for your consideration:
- The paper was made up of some difficult questions, the choice of essay was vital. Some questions were generally done much better than others.
- Knowledge and Understanding was, on the whole, quite good. It was obvious that there were gaps in knowledge in some areas - tut tut.
- One particular issue was the lack of ability to actually ANSWER the question. What was the question specific? What was it relating to? Some of you wrote down all you know about a topic rather than shaping your answer to the specific question.
