Hi,
I am an ST2 re-taker so have the revision booklets that finish with the September 2008 paper (one year out of date I think). I have found the answers to the exam papers in the revision booklets confusing.
I understand that the answers in the booklets are meant to be brief succinct descriptions of the full answers. However, I do not always find this is the case.
I find that ActEd sometimes add their own details to the real solutions.
Example: Compare booklet 3 Q31 (September 2008 Question 5) with the actual solutions. I find that most of the answers in the booklet are nowhere to be seen in the actual solutions, and some of the actual solutions are not in the booklet! I had to check I was reading the right answer!
I am not trying to disrepute ActEd, since their study aids are fantastic, but would rather understand why this is the case. I do not find it useful that ActEd are telling us answers that are not in the marking scheme.
Does anyone else have the same experience?
Thanks
Andrew
