ICAEW students were recently reminded they must not forget that there is such a thing as studying too hard and burning out by the time you get to exam day!
The institute explained that as well as looking after the basics like sleep, eating and exercise, students also have to schedule in downtime.
And, although many students quickly understand the importance of question practise, they don’t practise to time. The exam is not the place for this to happen for the first time. Students are also poor at reviewing their practise answer. – you have to mark your work properly, says the ICAEW.
Another criticism is too many students waffle on in the exam – in effect writing too much! Students were reminded that they don’t have to produce a prefect answer just answer the question set.
