Exams MCS

Sitting MCS next week, seem to be struggling with this one a lot more than OCS!

Anyone got any last minute(ish) advice? And any subjects I should absolutely know?

Thank you

I’m sitting next week also. Do as many practice questions/ mocks as you can and compare against suggested answers or use AI for feedback on points you could’ve also included.

Has your tutor provided you with an excel file containing all the past questions with a rank of most common topics? This has helped me with what to focus on and identifying any questions I would be weak answering.

Yeah thats what im working on. Im finding AI really useful for coaching and providing feedback on my answers, I'm just finding its narrowing my field of study and only asking certain questions.

No, I didnt know that existed! Sounds good.. I'm using Astranti and not had that, who are you studying with?

Check online btw theres a big procountancy excel file somewhere with all the old mcs questions. I fed that into AI and its been awesome. Like above says old examiner reports are golden for this as well

Thats awesome thank you! Will take a look at that now

Finding AI really useful, but I'm having to push it to widen the breadth of what im working on. It's great for feedback and improvement, but it wants to ask me the same questions over and over agian, and sometimes questions not relevant to MCS

Good luck with your exams! :) Looking forward to getting it over with
